Abstract

Bio-friendly antibacterial <i>N</i>-halamine polymers were used to modify gold nanorods (GNR@pAMPS-Cl), which showed excellent antimicrobial activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria and accelerated the healing of MRSA-infected wounds. This work provides a new strategy for the preparation of nanoscale antibacterial materials.
