Bio-Inspired Bimetallic Enzyme Mimics as Bio-Orthogonal Catalysts for Enhanced Bacterial Capture and Inhibition

Bacterial infections present a major threat to global health every year. The antibiotic treatment can easily lead to multidrug resistance. Despite great efforts devoted to improving the activity of the existing antibiotics or developing new antibiotics, the innate ability of bacteria to develop resistance has exceeded the rate of development of new antibiotics, which indicates that strategies to develop long-term antimicrobial therapies are...
