Abstract

Abstract : To regulate antibiotic treatments, the first visible three-mode antibiotic switch with residual removable characteristics was realized in this report. Abstract : The first visible three-mode switchable antibiotic nanocomposite, including "Packaged" (low toxicity and high stability), "On" (potent antibacterial activity, including drug-resistant strains) and "Off" (easy separation) modes, was synthesized to address several problems caused by antibiotic abuses. Some potential applications were discussed by using animal experiments and 3D printing separately.
