Key Points

To investigate the efficacy of magneto-catalytic bio-hybrid microbots in eradicating biofilm.
Developed biohybrid microbots combining biotic and nanoscale components.
Tested microbots in a model of biofilm in catheters.
Utilized external magnetic fields to guide the microbots during the experiment.
The biohybrid microbots showed significant reduction in biofilm thickness.
Effective removal was achieved compared to standard methods.
Demonstrated capability to navigate and target biofilms in controlled environments.

Implication

Bio-hybrid microbots demonstrate effective biofilm removal in catheters, indicating a new therapeutic approach.

Abstract

Biohybrid microbots, which combine biotic moieties with nanoscale functional components, offer to accomplish multifunctional tasks in theranostics that could also be guided by external forces. Herein, we report that magneto-catalytic...
