Highly pathogenic bacterial infections are a major threat to human health, and the resulting drug resistance is beginning to pose a major clinical threat. To combat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, there is an urgent need to develop antimicrobial drugs that are highly effective, environmentally friendly, and able to prevent the emergence of bacterial resistance. In this paper, Co4N nanozymes were successfully synthesized by pyrolysis of a presynthesized Co-containing metal organic framework (Co-MOF). Its peroxide and lactate oxidase activity and antimicrobial properties were investigated. Without the addition of exogenous H2O2, the nanozymes can initially generate H2O2 by catalyzing lactic acid and then produce highly active •OH from H2O2. This approach overcomes the obstacle of insufficient H2O2 to achieve a satisfactory antimicrobial effect. Furthermore, the local high temperature generated by Co4N under 808 nm laser irradiation further enhanced the antibacterial effect. These results showed that the nanozyme possesses broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with an inhibition rate as high as 99% within 2 h. Meanwhile, the enzyme has good biocompatibility, paving a way for the application of MOF materials in biomedical fields.
