The high prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA) and developing resistance to antibiotics requires
new approaches for treatment of infectious diseases
due to this bacterium. In this study, we developed a targeting
agent for selective killing of MRSA using photothermal
therapy method based on anti protein A antibody and gold
nanorods (GNRs). Polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) coated GNRs
were conjugated with anti protein A antibody. The FT-IR
and UV-vis analyses approved the formation of anti protein
A antibody-gold nanorods conjugate. In vitro study of photothermal
therapy showed 82% reduction in the MRSA cells
viability which was significantly greater than the ablation effect
of free GNRs and laser alone. Significant accumulation
of anti protein A antibody-GNRs in the infected muscle in
comparison with normal muscle approved the targeting ability
of new agent. In vivo study of photothermal therapy resulted
in a significant reduction (73%) in the bacterial cells
viability in the infected mouse model. These results demonstrated
the ability of anti protein A antibody-GNRs conjugate
in combination with NIR laser energy for selective killing of
MRSA in mouse model.
