Bacteria-infected wound healing is one of the most challenging issues in health management that is attracting worldwide concerns. Despite great achievements with antibiotics, emergence of antibiotic-resistance retarded the wound healing process and also led to severe outcomes. Exploration of novel antibiotics together with amelioration of wound healing efficacy is desirable. Herein, a degradable microneedle patch (AAZH@MNs) was fabricated through incorporating near-infrared light responsive photothermal agents for sustained bacteria killing and prevention of biofilm formation. In addition, the antibacterial microneedle patch could even remold the microenvironment of bacteria-infected wounds through an antibacterial effect, significantly facilitating the wound healing process.
