The CuO and AgO co-modified ZnO nanocomposites for promoting wound healing in Staphylococcus aureus infection.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial has become a common pathogen of humans owing to their drug-resistant effects and evasion of the host immune system, with their ability to form biofilm and induce severe infections, a condition which has become a primary public health concern globally. Herein, we report on CuO@AgO/ZnO NPs antibacterial activity enhanced by near-infrared (NIR) light which was effective in the elimination of Staphylococcus aureus and the Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The CuO@AgO/ZnO NPs under NIR significantly eradicated S. aureus and its biofilm and P. aeruginosa in vitro, and subsequently exhibited such phenomenon in vivo, eliminating bacteria and healing wound. This demonstrated the combined intrinsic antibacterial potency of the Cu and Ag components of the CuO@AgO/Zn
