Popis: Due to protection of extracellular polymeric substances, the therapeutic efficiency of conventional antimicrobial agents is often impeded by their poor infiltration and accumulation in biofilm. Herein, one type of surface charge adaptable nitric oxide (NO) nanogenerator was developed for biofilm permeation, retention and eradication. This nanogenerator (PDG@Au–NO/PBAM) is composed of a core-shell structure: thermo-sensitive NO donor conjugated AuNPs on cationic poly(dopamine-co-glucosamine) nanoparticle (PDG@Au–NO) served as core, and anionic phenylboronic acid-acryloylmorpholine (PBAM) copolymer was employed as a shell. The NO nanogenerator featured long circulation and good biocompatibility. Once the nanogenerator reached acidic biofilm, its surface charge would be switched to positive after shell dissociation and cationic core exposure, which was conducive for the nanogenerator to infiltrate and accumulate in the depth of biofilm. In addition, the nanogenerator could sustainably generate NO to disturb the integrity of biofilm at physiological temperature, then generate hyperthermia and explosive NO release upon NIR irradiation to efficiently eradicate drug-resistant bacteria biofilm. Such rational design offers a promising approach for developing nanosystems against biofilm-associated infections.
