Abstract

Bacteria, as the most abundant living organisms, have always been a threat to human life until the development of antibiotics. However, with the wide use of antibiotics over a long time, bacteria have gradually gained tolerance to antibiotics, further aggravating threat to human beings and environmental safety significantly. In recent decades, new bacteria-killing methods based on metal ions, hyperthermia, free radicals, physical pricks, and the coordination of several multi-mechanisms have attracted increasing attention. Consequently, multiple types of new antibacterial agents have been developed. Among them, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) appear to play an increasingly important role. The unique…
