Combination of aSDT with PTT for infected bone implants. (A) Schematic illustration shows that the sulfur-doped clinically used bone screw has enhanced sonocatalytic-photothermal ability by producing oxygen deficiency and shows efficient bone infection therapy. (B) SEM images and (C) fluorescence images of S. aureus in different treatment groups. (D) Implant site and (E) antibacterial performance of the S-treated bone screws. (F) H&E staining of the bone tissue around the implants [49]. Copyright©2020, American Chemical Society.
