Efficient clearance of periodontitis pathogens by S. gordonii membrane-coated H2O2 self-supplied nanocomposites in a "Jenga" style
Biomaterials science(2023)
摘要
As a key pathogen of periodontitis, P. gingivalis requires support of the initial colonizing bacterium (S. gordonii preferably) to form symbiotic biofilms on gingival tissues with enhanced antibiotic resistance. Here, we report a new strategy to treat periodontitis biofilms with S. gordonii membrane-coated H2O2 self-supplied nanocomposites (ZnO2/Fe3O4@MV NPs) in a "Jenga" style. Integration of our special MV coatings enables selectively enhanced internalization of the cargos in S. gordonii, thus inducing severe damage to the foundational bacterial layer and collapse/clearance of symbiotic biofilms consequently. This strategy allows us to clear the symbiotic biofilms of S. gordonii and P. gingivalis with active hydroxyl radicals (OH) derived from ZnO2-Fe3O4@MV NPs in a H2O2 self-supplied, nanocatalyst-assisted manner. This "Jenga-style" treatment provides a cutting-edge proof of concept for the removal of otherwise robust symbiotic biofilms of periodontitis where the critical pathogens are difficult to target and have antibiotic resistance.
