Bacterial infections and inflammation pose a severe threat to human health and the social economy. The existence of super-bacteria and the increasingly severe phenomenon of antibiotic resistance highlight the development of new antibacterial agents. Due to low cytotoxicity, high biocompatibility, and different antibacterial mechanisms from those for antibiotics, functionalized carbon dots (FCDs) promise a new platform for the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases. However, few articles have systematically sorted out the available antibacterial mechanisms for FCDs and their application in the treatment of bacterial inflammation. This review focuses on the available antibacterial mechanisms for FCDs, including covalent and non-covalent interactions, reactive oxygen species, photothermal therapy, and size effect. Meanwhile, the design of antibacterial FCDs is introduced, including surface modification, doping, and combination with other nanomaterials. Furthermore, this review specifically concentrates on the research advances of antibacterial FCDs in the treatment of bacterial inflammation. Finally, the advantages and challenges of applying FCDs in practical antimicrobial applications are discussed.

Source Journal
Journal of Materials Chemistry B
Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry B are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Antifouling coatings Biocompatible materials Bioelectronics Bioimaging Biomimetics Biomineralisation Bionics Biosensors Diagnostics Drug delivery Gene delivery Immunobiology Nanomedicine Regenerative medicine & Tissue engineering Scaffolds Soft robotics Stem cells Therapeutic devices image block All articles published in Journal of Materials Chemistry B from 2019 onwards will be indexed in MEDLINE®. Articles that primarily focus on providing insight into the underlying science and performance of biomaterials within a biological environment are more suited to our companion journal, Biomaterials Science.
