As a global problem, uncontrollable harmful bacterial proliferation has posed great threat to public health, which eventually caused economic burdens to the infected patients and the whole society [ 1 , 2 ]. The infectious bacteria always brought in wound infections [ 3 , 4 ], disease transmission [ 5 , 6 ], water contamination [ 7 ], soil contamination [ 8 ], and widespread corrosions [ 9 ]. From a traditional viewpoint, antibiotics have held the top priority in the eradication of bacterial growth. Nevertheless, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens due to antibiotic abuse results in the failure of antibiotic therapy, becoming one of the most significant global challenges [ 10 ]. The drug-resistant bacteria have developed penetration barriers, drug efflux pumps, inactivating enzymes to protect themselves from the developed antibiotics [ 11 , 12 ]. In addition, bacteria could also shelter from the attack of drugs or harsh conditions by forming the biofilm, a structure that serves as a sanctuary of the inner cells [ 13 , 14 ]. Besides, horizontal gene transfer can disseminate resistance genes among biofilm wrapped bacteria, amplifying the bacterial resistance [ 15 ]. Unquestionably, the emergence of drug-resistant bacterial and the formation of biofilms leads to the dreadful biological crisis. Thus, searching for novel efficient treatment approaches without inducing drug resistance is of great significance for solving these issues. Recently, non-invasive photothermal...
