Synthesis of a Two-Dimensional Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheet and Ultrasensitive Trapping of <i>Staphylococcus Aureus</i> for Enhanced Photothermal and Antibacterial Wound-Healing Therapy

Photothermal therapy has been widely used in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, the short photothermal effective radius of conventional nano-photothermal agents makes it difficult to achieve effective photothermal antibacterial activity.

description Photothermal therapy has been widely used in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, the short photothermal effective radius of conventional nano-photothermal agents makes it difficult to achieve effective photothermal antibacterial activity. Therefore, improving composite targeting can significantly inhibit bacterial growth. We inhibited the growth of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (<i>S. aureus</i>) by using an extremely low concentration of vancomycin (Van) and applied photothermal therapy with molybdenum disulfide (MoS<sub>2</sub>). This simple method used chitosan (CS) to synthesize fluorescein 5(6)-isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled and Van-loaded MoS<sub>2</sub>-nanosheet hydrogels (MoS<sub>2</sub>-Van-FITC@CS). After modifying the surface, an extremely low concentration of Van could inhibit bacterial growth by trapping bacteria synergistically with the photothermal effects of MoS<sub>2</sub>, while FITC labeled bacteria and chitosan hydrogels promoted wound healing. The results showed that MoS<sub>2</sub>-Van-FITC@CS nanosheets had a thickness of approximately 30 nm, indicating the successful synthesis of the nanosheets. The vitro antibacterial results showed that MoS<sub>2</sub>-Van-FITC with near-infrared irradiation significantly inhibited <i>S. aureus</i> growth, reaching an inhibition rate of 94.5% at nanoparticle concentrations of up to 100 µg/mL. Furthermore, MoS<sub>2</sub>-Van-FITC@CS could exert a healing effect on wounds in mice. Our results demonstrate that MoS<sub>2</sub>-Van-FITC@CS is biocompatible and can be used as a wound-healing agent.
