The misuse and mismanagement of antibiotics have made the treatment of bacterial infections a challenge. This challenge is magnified when bacteria form biofilms, which can increase bacterial resistance up to 1000 times. It is desirable to develop anti-infective materials with antibacterial activity and no resistance to drugs. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, anti-infective strategies based on metal and metal oxide nanomaterials have been widely used in antibacterial and antibiofilm treatments.

1. Introduction

Bacterial infection with high morbidity and mortality rate have posed an increasingly serious threat to human health. The development of antibiotics has successfully resisted bacterial invasion. However, microorganisms have acquired drug resistance through genetic mutation or by receiving exogenous mutant genes because of the abuse of antibiotics [1][2]. They resist antibiotics by blocking drug–cell contact, rendering the drug inactive, altering their metabolic pathways, inhibiting the entry of drugs into the bacteria, or activating the efflux of drugs [2]. The era of antibiotics is progressively coming to an end due to the emergency of multidrug-resistant bacteria. It has been reported that multidrug-resistant bacteria cause at least 700,000 deaths worldwide each year, including 23,000 deaths in the United States and 25,000 deaths in the European Union [3]. The World Health Organization predicts that 10 million people worldwide will die from bacterial infections by 2050 if no efforts are made to reduce bacterial resistance or develop new antibiotics [4].
Infectious diseases caused by planktonic bacteria are common, such as sepsis and keratitis. When bacteria acquire drug resistance, removing the bacteria from the site of infection becomes a challenge. This challenge is amplified when bacteria form biofilm, which are one of the reasons bacteria develop drug resistance [5]. Bacterial biofilms are three-dimensional structure groups formed by bacteria embedded in their own secreted extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) [6][7][8]. Depending on the presence or absence of substrate during biofilm formation, they are classified into classical attached biofilms and type II nonattached biofilms. Biofilm formation is a cascading process, which can be divided into adhesion, reproduction, maturation, and shedding [9][10][11]. First, planktonic bacteria attach to the surface of the vector through outer membrane proteins and flagella, etc. Next, adhesion is enhanced by EPS secreted by the bacteria and which begins to develop into an irreversible adherent state by differentiation. They then develop into a mature three-dimensional structure through the aggregation of colonies. Finally, biofilms are hydrolyzed to release planktonic bacteria, which lead to the development of new infections. The formation of biofilm is beneficial to the survival of bacteria. The resistance capacity of biofilm reaches 1000 times that of planktonic bacteria. On the one hand, bacteria will undergo immune escape due to the protective effect of biofilm. On the other hand, the relevant components of the biofilm will interact with antibiotics to reduce their effective concentration. Furthermore, bacteria in biofilm can also resist the action of drugs through quorum sensing (QS) systems and dormant states [12][13][14]. Biofilms are commonly present on the surface of chronic wounds or implants, which can lead to delayed wound healing or implant removal [15]. The slow wound healing is attributed to decreased immune function, reduced cell proliferation, or reduced cellular reconstitution [16][17]. additionally, there are limited treatments available for implant infections, such as systemic antibiotic therapy or surgical treatment [12]. These will seriously affect the quality of life of the patient. Therefore, effective antibacterial and antibiofilm methods with no resistance are in urgent demand.
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, metal and metal oxide nanomaterials have emerged as promising therapeutics in anti-infective fields due to their excellent characteristics, including low cost and strong heat resistance. Importantly, they do not cause the development of drug resistance [18]. The anti-infective mechanisms of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials are mainly divided into three types, including the destruction of bacterial cytoskeleton, the generation of metal ions, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). They can not only kill planktonic bacteria, but also inhibit the formation of biofilm or destroy the formed biofilm by destroying EPS, inhibiting QS, and killing bacteria inside the biofilm. For example, He et al. constructed Au-Ag nanoshells to kill multidrug-resistant bacteria by high heat and silver ions (Ag+) [19]. Ali et al. pointed out that Au nanoparticles (NPs) can be used as nanoantibiotics to eliminate the biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [20]. From the aforementioned points, and taken together, metal and metal oxide nanomaterials provide a new weapon for the treatment of infective diseases.
It is essential to have a clear understanding of the antibacterial mechanism for developing new antibacterial materials. Compared to previous reports, this progress report concentrates on metal and metal oxide nanomaterials to summarize their anti-infective mechanism based on the components of bacteria and biofilms (Figure 1) [21][22][23][24].

2. Metal and Metal Oxide Nanomaterials

Metal and metal oxide nanomaterials refer to metals and alloys that form nanograins with small size effect, quantum effect, surface effect, and interface effect. They have unique physical and chemical properties compared to traditional metal and metal oxide materials, which have been widely investigated in recent years in different fields. Notably, they have been widely used in the anti-infective field due to their excellent anti-infective properties.

2.1. Metal Nanomaterials

Metal nanomaterials have been widely used in the field of anti-infection due to their excellent anti-infective efficacy. Among them, Ag, Au, and Cu are the most common anti-infective nanomaterial (Table 1). For thousands of years, the antibacterial properties of Ag have been discovered and used in everyday life, such as the use of silverware. The antibacterial properties of Ag nanomaterials mainly derive from Ag+ and depend largely on their size and shape. For example, Yang et al. used the displacement reaction between Zn and Ag+ to introduce Ag nanomaterials into the metal–organic framework. The antibacterial mechanism showed that massive release of Ag+ destroyed the bacterial contents and enhanced the effectiveness of the nanocomposite against S. aureus and E. coli [25]. Different from Ag nanomaterials, the antibacterial properties of Au nanomaterials are largely affected by their morphology and the antibacterial mechanisms are diverse. For example, Au NPs lack antibacterial activity on their own, but they showed favorable antibacterial activity by surface modification [26][27]. Based on this, Li et al. used 4,6-diamino-2-pyrimidinethiol modified Au NPs for the treatment of infections caused by E. coli [28]. In contrast, Au nanoclusters (NCs) with same surface ligand exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial property by inducing the overaccumulation of ROS, not only against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, but also against their multidrug-resistant bacteria [29]. As another common anti-infective nanomaterial, Cu nanomaterials perform antibacterial properties mainly through generating ROS. On the one hand, Cu destroy the bacterial antioxidant system by causing the inactivation of glutathione reductase (GR), resulting in a surge of ROS [30]. On the other hand, cuprous ions originate from copper-based nanomaterials generated ROS due to Fenton-like activity. For example, Lin et al. constructed copper ion-loaded melanin and copper ion-loaded polydopamine to treat infective diseases induced by S. aureus and E. coli with the help of copper ion release and copper ion-induced ROS production [31]. Additionally, Pd and Pt nanomaterials can also act as nanozymes to produce ROS, resulting in broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria [32].

2.2. Metal Oxide Nanomaterials

Compared to metal nanomaterials, metal oxide nanomaterials have attracted the highest interest in the anti-infective community due to the better biological properties, such as TiO2 and ZnO (Table 2) [42]. As semiconductor nanomaterials, TiO2 and ZnO can generate highly toxic ROS by photocatalytic property, which are viewed as the promising tool for anti-infection therapy. However, their photocatalytic-based antibacterial properties were limited to the narrow response range of visible light and the easy recombination properties of photoinduced electron–hole pairs [43]. In order to improve their photocatalytic performance, combining with a semiconductor featuring narrow band gap has been reported. For example, Khan et al. reduced the band gap using Ag2S and decreased the rate of recombination for photoinduced charge carriers using graphene oxide (GO) [44]. The obtained Ag2S-ZnO/GO nanocomposite showed an outstanding photocatalytic property and remarkable antibacterial activity compared to pure ZnO nanomaterials. In addition, ZnO nanomaterials can also exert antibacterial properties through contact adsorption mechanism and metal ion dissolution mechanism. They all act by zinc ions derived from the degraded of ZnO nanomaterials in an acidic environment [45]. Zinc ions cause membrane potential disruption by adhering to the cell membrane. Moreover, they also act on the thiol group of the bacterial respiratory enzymes to increase the production of ROS, ultimately leading to bacterial death [46].

2.3. Synthetic Method

Different nanomaterials exhibit different degrees of anti-infective effect, which directly depend on their composition, morphology, and size. These characteristics are closely related to the synthetic method. There are various methods for the synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials, including chemical reduction, chemical precipitation, the Brust–Schiffrin method, seed-mediated growth, the hydrothermal reaction, and biosynthetic methods [52][53].
Chemical and biosynthetic methods have been reported for the preparation of metal-based nanomaterials. Among them, chemical reduction is the most common chemical method. However, the use of reducing agents raises the toxicity and cost of the method, as well as introduces impurities. As a simple and fast method, the chemical precipitation method has attracted a lot of attention, which allows for controlling the size and shape of the nanomaterials. The reaction rate and nucleation process are largely affected by reaction parameters such as pH, temperature, and reactant concentration. In addition, the size, shape, and properties of the nanomaterials will depend on the crystallization process. Based on this, Sondi et al. prepared well-dispersed Ag NPs with the size of 12.3 nm, using the reduction of AgNO3 by ascorbic acid [54]. Wang et al. synthesized morphologically controllable ZnO NPs nanoparticles with a particle size of about 20 nm using ZnCl2 as precursor and ammonium carbamate as precipitating agent [55]. As a nontoxic and environmentally friendly method, the biosynthetic method can be used to synthesize various nanomaterials with a wide range of size, physicochemical properties, shapes, and compositions, which has been widely reported. The sources of nanomaterials include plants, bacteria, and algae. For example, Mori et al. reported a simple and environmentally friendly route for the biosynthesis of Ag NPs [56]. The size of the Ag NPs was controlled by varying the glucose concentration. The final Ag NPs were produced with a controlled particle size range of 3.48 ± 1.83~20.0 ± 2.76 nm. Nasrollahzadeh et al. synthesized Cu NPs using the Euphorbia grandis leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent without surfactants [52].
The Brust–Schiffrin method and the seed-mediated growth synthesis method can be employed to produce Au nanomaterials [57]. Brust–Schiffrin is the first special method that can generate thiolate-stabilized Au NPs. The Au NPs synthesized by this method have the following advantages: (1) high thermal and air stability, (2) no aggregation or decomposition occurring during repeated separation and redecomposition, (3) easy adjustment of the particle size of the synthesized gold nanoparticles with narrow dispersion range, (4) and relatively easy functionalization and ligand substitution modifications. For example, Selina Beatrice et al. prepared molecular tweezer-functionalized ultrafine Au NPs that selectively adsorb to lysine and arginine residues on protein surfaces using the Brust–Schiffrin method [58]. The process of the seed-mediated growth synthesis method of Au nanomaterials can be divided into two stages. First, small-sized Au NPs are synthesized as seeds. Second, the seeds are added to a “growth” solution consisting of HAuCl4, stabilizer, and a reducing agent. Then, Au0 produced by the reduction usually appears on the seed surface, and eventually a large amount of Au NPs is formed. Based on this method, MSc et al. obtained gold nanorods, gold nanostars, and gold nanospheres with a small size and a good dispersion [59].
The hydrothermal reaction is a method of synthesis using chemical reactions of substances in aqueous solutions at temperatures from 100 to 1000 °C and pressures from 1 MPa to 1 GPa. It can create new nanocompounds and nanomaterials that cannot be prepared by other methods because the homogeneous nucleation and nonhomogeneous nucleation mechanisms of the hydrothermal reaction are different from the diffusion mechanisms of the solid-phase reactions. Importantly, the products obtained by hydrothermal reaction have a high purity, good dispersion, and easy particle size control. For example, Wang et al. obtained well-dispersed copper nanowires using CuCl2·2H2O as the copper source and polyvinyl pyrrolidone as the dispersant. Ozga et al. used a modified hydrothermal reaction to obtain copper oxide films at less than 101 °C. Li et al. made ZnO nanoflowers by adjusting the ratio of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and cyclic hexamethylenetetramine [60]. Huang et al. prepared TiO2 nanotubes with high catalytic efficiency by the hydrothermal reaction.
To sum up, nanomaterials of the same component prepared by different methods may have different properties. It is important to choose an appropriate method by combining various factors.
