Abstract
En 中文
Early work demonstrated that some two-dimensional (2D) materials could kill bacteria by using their sharp edges to physically rupture the bacteria envelope, which presents distinct advantages over traditional antibiotics, as bacteria are not able to evolve resistance to the former. This mechano-bactericidal mode of action, however, suffers from low antibacterial efficiency, fundamentally because of random orientation of 2D materials outside the bacteria, where the desirable edge-to-envelope contacts occur with low probability. Here, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept approach to significantly enhance the potency of the mechano-bactericidal activity of 2D materials. This approach is in marked contrast with previous work, as the 2D materials are designed to be in situ generated inside the bacteria from a molecularly engineered monomer in a self-assembled manner, profoundly promoting the probability of the edge-to-envelope contacts. The rationale in this study sheds light on a mechanically new nanostructure-enabled antibacterial strategy to combat antibiotic resistance.
