Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) include bacterial of the skin, muscles, connective such as ligaments tendons. SSTI in patients with immunocompromising diseases may lead to chronic, hard-to-heal infected wounds, resulting disability, amputation, or even death. To treat rebuild defensive barrier here we utilize recombinant type XVII collagen protein (rCol XVII) construct biodegradable, regenerative microneedles (rCol-MNs) for transdermal delivery antibacterial agents. Spheroidal copper-DNA nanoparticles (Cu-CpG NPs; CpG represents short single-stranded synthetic DNA molecules cytosine guanine) are synthesized copper ions oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), followed by polydopamine (PDA) coating obtain Cu-CpG@PDA. Doping Cu-CpG@PDA into rCol-MNs yields Cu-CpG@PDA-loaded rCol-MNs. These combine photothermal conversion property PDA, properties ions, innate immune activation ODNs, skin regenerating ability rCol XVII, allowing treatment also damaged skin. In a mouse model, show that rescue wound infections, facilitate orderly deposition at site, promote healing full-thickness wounds without noticeable scar formation. serve vehicle and, simultaneously, reservoir skin-regenerating collagen, bringing combined benefits infection control regeneration. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Treatment requires agents dermis while providing environment open wounds. Here, devise meet both requirements.
