TL;DR
This multifunctional smart wound dressing is developed by integrating a chromogenic hydrogel with electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) fibers functionalized with quaternary ammonium moieties anchoring ionic silver to demonstrate outstanding cellular biocompatibility and real-time colorimetric detection of metabolically active microorganisms.
Overall, this study provides a pH-responsive, nanozyme-integrated fibrous membrane with combined antibacterial and pro-regenerative functions, offering a promising strategy for the treatment of bacteria-infected wounds without relying on antibiotics.
