Pathogenic infections have emerged as major threats to global public health. Multidrug resistance induced by the abuse of antibiotics makes the anti-infection therapies to be a global challenge. Thus, it is urgent to develop novel, efficient and biosafe antibiotic alternatives for future antibacterial therapy. Recently, nanozymes have emerged as promising antibiotic alternatives for combating bacterial infections. More significantly, the multimodal synergistic nanozyme-based antibacterial systems open novel disinfection pathways. In this review, we are mainly focusing on the recent research progress of nanozyme-based multimodal synergistic therapies to eliminate bacterial infections. Their antibacterial mechanism, the synergistic antibacterial systems are systematically summarized and discussed according to the combination of mechanisms and the purpose to improve their antibacterial efficiency, biosafety and specificity. Finanly, the current challenges and prospects of the multimodal synergistic antibacterial systems are proposed.
