    Abstract:

    Antibiotic-resistance of bacteria and antibiotics abuse is a global challenge. It is urgent to develop novel bactericide alternative to kill bacteria efficiently but without causing new resistance and biosafety issue. Nanozymes are nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like activities which regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) by redox reactions. This property can be used to suppress many gram-positive and gram-negative virulent bacteria and biofilms. Meanwhile, nanozymes have high stability, biocompatibility and reusability compared to other biocidal agents. Therefore nanozymes present a promising antibacterial alternative in the application of wound healing, caries prevention and marine antifouling.
