Triclosan-based supramolecular hydrogels as nanoantibiotics for enhanced antibacterial activity

With the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, conventional antibiotics are becoming increasingly ineffective for the treatment of bacterial infections. Nanomaterial-modified antibiotics, denoted as “nanoantibiotics”, can usually circumvent most of the shortcomings of conventional antibiotics, thus improving antibacterial activities. Here, we developed triclosan-based supramolecular hydrogel nanoantibiotics by conjugating small molecule...
