Infectious bacteria pose an increasing threat to public health, and hospital-acquired bacterial infections remain a significant challenge for wound healing. In this study, we developed an advanced nanoplatform utilizing copper doped magnetic vortex nanoring coated with polydopamine (Cu-MVNp) based nanotherapeutics for bacterial infection tri-therapy. This multifunctional nanoplatform exhibits remarkable dual-stimulus thermogenic capabilities and Fenton-like peroxidase activity.

Materials And Methods: Twelve varieties of commercial wound coverings based on biopolymers of natural and synthetic origin, a biological preparation Staphylophag produced by scientific-industrial association Microgen (Russia), registration certificate P N001973/01, and the 3196 test strain (GenBank JARQZO000000000) isolated from a patient with a burn wound have been used in our work. The ability of commercial biological wound coatings to absorb solutions was examined by immersing them in a physiological solution (pH 7.
Nanoparticle-mediated thermotherapeutic research strives innovative, multifunctional, efficient, and safe treatments. Our study introduces a novel nanoplatform: the hollow magnetic vortex nanorings within a polydopamine layer (HMVNp), which exhibit dual functionality as magnetic and photothermal agents. Utilizing a "Dual-mode" approach, combining an alternating magnetic field (AMF) with near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, HMVNp demonstrated a significant enhancement in heating efficacy (58 ± 8 %, SAR = 1441 vs 1032 W/g) over traditional solid magnetite nanoparticles coated with polydopamine (SMNp).

This problem may be solved by using bacteriophages-viruses that can attack and destroy bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant ones. In this article, the authors compared the efficacy of topical bacteriophage therapy and systemic antibiotic therapy in the treatment of wound infections caused by ESKAPE pathogens in patients with limited (less than 5% of the body surface) full-thickness burns.
