The invention discloses a preparation method of a photo-thermal sensitive type composite bacterial cellulose antibacterial dressing. The preparation method specifically comprises the following steps: (1) washing the surface of bacterial cellulose with water, performing rinsing and soaking, performing heating and boiling in a water bath with alkali liquor, repeatedly soaking and washing the bacterial cellulose until the bacterial cellulose is neutral, and performing refrigerating for later use; (2) preparing a dopamine buffer solution, adding a bacterial cellulose membrane, performing lighting, ventilating and standing to react, performing soaking and washing for multiple times until the solution is neutral after reaction, and performing refrigerating for later use; and (3) preparing a chloroauric acid solution, then adding the bacterial cellulose membrane after the surface of polydopamine is modified, performing standing at an opened state to react, performing repeated soaking and washing until the solution is neutral, and performing refrigerating for later use. The antibacterial dressing has excellent mechanical property and adhesion property, the polydopamine and the nanogold are synergized in the photo-thermal effect, photo heat is transformed into high temperature through energy input of low-power near-infrared light, so that a better thermal efficacy sterilization effect is generated, and the antibacterial dressing has a simple preparation process, mild reaction condition and good biocompatibility.
