One pot synthesis of SeTe-ZnO nanoparticles for antibacterial and wound healing applications

Bacterial infections, particularly those involving biofilms, pose significant treatment challenges due to their resistance to traditional antibiotics. Herein, this research explores the integration of selenium-tellurium nanoparticles (SeTe NP) and zinc oxide (ZnO) NP to create hybrid NP with dual photodynamic and photothermal properties. The synthesized SeTe-ZnO NP demonstrated significant efficacy against both Gram-positive ( ), ( ) and Gram-negative ( ), ( ) bacteria, effectively disrupting biofilm formation and promoting wound healing. studies further confirmed the biocompatibility and superior wound healing capabilities of SeTe-ZnO NP, highlighting their potential as a versatile and effective treatment for bacterial infections and wound care.
