Abstract
-Ce6 efficiently accelerated the healing rate of wounds and improved the quality of wound healing in mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus. Altogether, here we report the development of antibacterial photodynamic peptides, which together with a regenerative matrix material exhibit an added effect against staphylococcal skin infection. This composite material holds promise as a new type of wound dressing material for skin infection and wound healing.
