Bacterial diseases pose a serious threat to human health. Continued development of precise diagnostic methods and synergistic therapy techniques for combating bacteria are needed. Herein a hybrid nanosystem (Ag2S@ZIF-Van NS) was constructed by one-step self-assembly of Zn2+, vancomycin (Van) and Ag2S quantum dots (QDs). The nanosystem possesses excellent second near-infrared transparency window (NIR-II) fluorescence properties (∼1200 nm emission wavelength), good photothermal conversion properties, and biocompatibility. The material system enables precise, targeted NIR-II fluorescent imaging of bacterial inflammation in vivo as well as promoting anti-bacterial and wound healing effects.
