Highly Efficient Photodynamic Hydrogel with AIE-Active Photosensitizers toward Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Ultrafast Imaging and Killing

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes great health hazards to society because most antibiotics are ineffective. Photodynamic treatment (PDT) has been proposed to combat MRSA due to the advantage of imaging-guided no-drug resistance therapy. However, the traditional photosensitizers for PDT are limited by aggregation-caused quenching for imaging and low photodynamic antibacterial efficiency. In this work, we synthesize a new aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer (APNO), which can ultrafast distinguish between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria within 3 s by AIE-active photosensitizer imaging. Meanwhile, APNO can generate antibacterial reactive oxygen species under light irradiation, which holds potential for antibacterial PDT. Then, APNO is loaded by PHEAA hydrogel to obtain a highly efficient photodynamic hydrogel (APNOgel). In vitro results show complete inhibition of MRSA by APNO@gel under lower-power light irradiation. Transcriptome analysis is performed to investigate antibacterial mechanism of APNO@gel. Most importantly, APNO@gel also exhibits significant inhibition and killing ability of MRSA in the MRSA wound infection model, which will further promote rapid wound healing. Therefore, the photodynamic hydrogel provides a promising strategy toward MRSA ultrafast imaging and killing.
