Abstract
@Cu-BTC adhered to the negatively charged bacterial cell, interacted with the bacterial membrane, destroyed the integrity of the membrane which resulted in leakage of bacterial content and then generated ROS to damage DNA, thus leading to cell death. Accordingly, this study provides a competitive strategy for preparing recyclable antibacterial materials that are endowed with targeted antibacterial therapy.
