Incorporating multipleantibacterial strategies into nanostructured materials has beenverified to possess paramount promise for amelioratingtherapeutic efficiency against resistant bacteria. Herein, amultifunctional yolk–shell nanocomposite (Au@HCN) comprised of an aurum (Au) core and hollow carbon nanosphere(HCN) shell was prepared via one-step copolymerization andcarbonization. The electron plunder by Au@HCN on thebacterial membrane leads to bacterial membrane depolarization and enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism,resulting in remarkable efficacy against drug-resistant bacteriaunder dark conditions. Moreover, the synergetic photothermaltherapy (PTT) displayed significant antibacterial properties(~98%) when exposed to near-infrared (NIR) irradiation invitro. Meanwhile, efficient eradication of drug-resistant bacteria in the infected wound in vivo was observed under NIRexposure, thereby promoting wound healing through theprominent antibacterial properties of Au@HCN. The yolk–shell Au@HCN possesses tremendous potential for combatingmultidrug resistance with high efficiency.展开更多

Samples were processed at the Microbiology Laboratory for identification and sensitivity. Bacteria isolated were identified using their morphological characteristics, Gram staining reaction and biochemical tests. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Questionnaires were also administered to study participants to obtain information on demography, kind of first aid received, antibiotics received prior to culture and sensitivity.Results:A total of 86 patients comprising 45 patients from Ward D2C and 41 from BICU participated in the study. Males were 51(59.3%) and females 35 (40.7%). Age of participants ranged from 0–56+ years.Pseudomonas aeruginosawas the commonest pathogen isolated 26(30.2%), followed byPseudomonas spp. 21(24.4%),Escherichia coli 17(19.8%),Klebsiellaspp. 12(14.0%). Coagulase negativeStaphylococcusaccounted for 2(2.3%). Overall prevalence of infection in the study was 90.7%.Conclusions: Burn wound infection continues to be a major challenge in burn centers. Regular surveillance of commonly identified pathogens in the ward and their antimicrobial susceptibility will guide proper empiric selection of antibiotics for management of burn wounds.展开更多
