What is Low‐Dose Cu Ions Assisted by Mild Thermal Stimulus Inducing Bacterial Cuproptosis‐Like Death for Antibiosis and Biointegration about?

## Abstract Methicillin‐resistant __Staphylococcus aureus__ (MRSA) is threatening human health due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics. Excessive copper (Cu) ions target the lipoylated proteins of tricarboxylic acid cycle of cancer cells, inducing proteotoxic stress and their cuproptosis death. Whether cuproptosis plays a part in killing MRSA by low‐dose supplement of Cu ions remains to be explored. Herein, Cu‐doped hydroxyapatite nanorods (PC) are prepared on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) to resist infection and improve PEEK performance in tissue integration with the assistance of near‐infrared (NIR) irradiation, and the mechanism against MRSA is elucidated. Mild photothermal stimulation increases bacterial membrane permeability, accelerating Cu ions’ intake and consequently inducing cuproptosis‐like death of MRSA. It is confirmed by aggregation of dihydrolipoamide S‐acetyltrans‐ferase (DLAT), deactivation of glutathione peroxides 4 (GPX4), and destabilization of Fe─S cluster proteins ferredoxin (FDX1) and lipoyl synthase (LIAS). Fortunately, fibroblast behaviors are upregulated on NIR‐irradiated PC. In vivo, PC with NIR irradiation exhibits outstanding MRSA elimination, reduc
