Abstract
@CP) to achieve pH-dependent light-induced nanozyme-based antibacterial action. It has shown superior peroxidase and antibacterial activity at low pH. The mechanism behind the enhanced POD-like activity and high antibacterial activity was established. The mechanistic pathway involves estimating ROS generation, membrane depolarization, inner membrane permeabilization, metal ion release, and the effect of NIR on photothermal and photodynamic activities. Overall, our work highlighted the combinatorial approach for eradicating bacterial infections using enzyme-based antibacterial agents.
