Laser-responsive sequential delivery of multiple antimicrobials using nanocomposite hydrogels

Abstract

Precise control of antimicrobial delivery can prevent the adverse effects of antibiotics. By exploiting the photothermal activity of polydopamine nanoparticles along with the distinct transition temperatures of liposomes, a near-infrared (NIR) laser can be used to control the sequential delivery of an antibiotic and its adjuvant from a nanocomposite hydrogel—preventing bacterial growth.
