In vivo Antibacterial. a) Schematic diagram of photothermal antibacterial process of materials. b) Infrared thermal images and c) Temperature changes of implantation site in mice under NIR irradiation at a power density of 0.5 W cm−2. d) Bacterial colony plate images at ten times dilution and e) colony count statistics of S. aureus in each group after 1 and 4 days of implantation. f) Giemsa staining of surrounding tissues 1 and 4 days after implantation in different groups. Deep purple: bacterial colonies. Data represent means ± SD (n = 3). Statistical significance was calculated by two‐way ANOVA analysis and Tukey's multiple comparison tests. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001 compared with SP‐. & p < 0.05; && p < 0.01; &&& p < 0.001; &&&& p < 0.0001 compared with SPPM‐. # p < 0.05; ## p < 0.01; ### p < 0.001; #### p < 0.0001 compared with SP+.
