Abstract

Anti-Infection Therapies In article number 2205471, Jianqing Gao, Fangyuan Li, Daishun Ling, and co-workers report a silver-based enzymatic nanoadjuvant (EnzNA) by self-assembling silver nanoclusters that can modulate intracellular and extracellular infectious microenvironments with pH discrepancy to overcome antimicrobial resistance of pathogens. The EnzNA-mediated modulation of the infectious microenvironment can effectively re-sensitize methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to antibiotics by eradicating biofilm and inducing ribosomal dysfunction, providing a paradigm shift in combating the emergence and evolution of antimicrobial resistance.
