Résumé
The overuse of antibiotics has led to the rapid development of multi-drug resistant bacteria, making antibiotics increasingly ineffective against bacterial infections. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop alternative strategies to combat multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections. In this study, gold nanoparticles modified with ellagic acid (EA-AuNPs) were prepared using a simple and mild one-pot hydrothermal process. EA-AuNPs demonstrated high bactericidal efficacy and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities against clinical isolates of the antibiotic-resistant ESKAPE pathogens. Furthermore, EA-AuNPs effectively disperse biofilms of multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Additionally, EA-AuNPs mitigated inflammatory responses at the bacterial infection sites. The combined bactericidal and anti-inflammatory treatment with EA-AuNPs resulted in faster curing of peritonitis caused by
