    Abstract:
    Bacterial infection often induces chronic repair of wound healing owing to aggravated inflammation. Hydrogel dressing exhibiting intrinsic antibacterial activity may substantially reduce the use of antibiotics for infected wound management. Hence, a versatile hydrogel dressing (rGB/QCS/PDA-PAM) exhibiting skin adaptiveness on dynamic wounds and  mild photothermal antibacterial activity is developed for safe and efficient infected wound treatment. Phenylboronic acid-functionalized graphene (rGB) and oxadiazole-decorated quaternary carboxymethyl chitosan (QCS) are incorporated into a polydopamine-polyacrylamide (PDA-PAM) network with multiple covalent and noncovalent bonds, which conferred the hydrogel with flexible mechanical properties, strong tissue adhesion and excellent self-healing ability on the dynamic wounds. Moreover, the glycocalyx-mimicking phenylboronic acid on the surface of rGB enables the hydrogel to specifically capture bacteria. The enhanced membrane permeability of QCS enhanced bacterial vulnerability to photothermal therapy（PTT）, which is demonstrated by efficient mild PTT antibacteria against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and in vivo at temperatures of <49.6 °C. Consequently, the hydrogel demonstrate accelerated tissue regeneration on MRSA-infected wound in vivo, with an intact epidermis, abundant collagen deposition and prominent angiogenesis. Therefore, rGB/QCS/PDA-PAM is a versatile hydrogel dressing exhibiting inherent antibacterial activity and has considerable potential in treating wounds infected with drug-resistant bacteria.
