초록/요약
Bacterial infections can threaten human health. Drug-resistant bacteria have become a challenge because of the excessive use of drugs. We summarize the current metallic antibacterial materials, especially Fe-based materials, for efficiently killing bacteria. The possible antibacterial mechanisms of metallic antibacterial agents are classified into interactions with bacterial proteins, iron metabolism, catalytic activity, and combinations of magnetic, photodynamic, and photothermal effects. This review will inspire the development of novel Fe-based antibacterial agents for clinical settings. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
