A NH₂-Cu-MOF for promising antibacterial application

A copper-based metal-organic framework named NH₂-Cu-MOF has been synthesized and utilized as an effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial material in this article. The obtained NH₂-Cu-MOF exhibits satisfying antibacterial activity against both gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus and S. epidermidis) and gram-negative bacteria (E. coli and K. peneumoniae). Additionally, the biocompatibility of this NH₂-Cu-MOF has been validated through animal studies, showing no significant adverse effects, thereby confirming its high biocompatibility. These findings prove that NH₂-Cu-MOF has positive effects upon the treatment of bacteria-infected wounds, which holds great potential to be applied in biochemistry field.
