Zinc-doped Prussian blue enhances photothermal clearance of Staphylococcus aureus and promotes tissue repair in infected wounds

Here, the authors apply transition metal doping in combination with phototermal therapy to treat Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds, and show that release of ions by local heat enhances bacteria clearance and promotes tissue repair in a rat model of MRSA-infected wounds
