Long-term antibacterial medical dressings can prevent infection as skin wounds heal. In this study, we used the hydrophobic antibacterial drug amoxicillin as a model to prepare drug-loaded nanomicelles using a film dispersion–hydration method, and drug-loaded nanomicelles were coaxially electrospun into nanofiber to create a novel nanomicelle-in-nanofiber (NM-in-NF) drug delivery system. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the morphology of nanomicelles and nanofibers. Thermal property of as-prepared samples was tested using differential scanning calorimetry. The drug release behavior, cytotoxicity, and antibacterial properties of NM-in-NFs were examined in vitro to evaluate the system’s potential to be used in the treatment of skin wounds. Experimental results indicated that the novel NM-in-NF system had dual controlled release effect, which greatly reduced burst release and prolonged effective drug duration. Moreover, NM-in-NFs was also found to be safe and non-toxic, with a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. It thus could potentially be used in long-term antibacterial medical dressings to treat skin wounds.

Narrow bandgap semiconductor MgIn 2 S 4 has been readily grown onto In 2 O 3 nanofibers by an in situ growing method. The so-formed MgIn 2 S 4 -In 2 O 3 hybrid nanofibers are characterized by strong visible light absorption and intimate MgIn 2 S 4 /In 2 O 3 heterointerfaces. Under visible light illumination ( λ ≥ 400 nm), the hybrid nanofibers demonstrate an exceptionally high photocatalytic activity for Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) disinfection, outcompeting pristine MgIn 2 S 4 , naked In 2 O 3 nanofibers, and many other photocatalytic systems reported. Specifically, the hybrid nanofibers achieve a 7 log reduction in viable cells for merely 20 min illumination while pristine MgIn 2 S 4 and naked In 2 O 3 nanofibers alone are almost inactive. Further analysis indicates that the hybrid nanofibers essentially form a type-II semiconductor heterojunctions which enable spatial separation of photocarriers. Owing to the intimate heterointerfaces, photocarriers can be promptly separated and accumulated respectively in In 2 O 3 and MgIn 2 S 4 thereby allowing continuous generation of copious reactive species for disinfection. This work signifies the usefulness of heterointerfaces in promoting photocarrier separation and provides a useful strategy to upgrade photocatalytic performance from otherwise almost inactive semiconductors.

N -halamine-based antibacterial agents have high efficiency and rechargeable antibacterial properties. However, their applications are limited due to their complex synthetic process and fuzzy antibacterial mechanism. In this study, a novel N -halamine antibacterial polymer was synthesized by inverse emulsion polymerization and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Due to the difficulty of purification, most of the subjects studied previously were hydrophobic polymers, while little research on hydrophilic polymers. In this experiment, this difficulty was overcome by controlling the dosage of sodium hypochlorite and methods of dialysis. Because of the complex cell structure of Gram-negative bacteria, it is difficult for N -halamines to release the oxidizing chlorine into the cell. However, the hydrophilic N -halamines can solve this problem, which showed a stronger antibacterial effect on Gram-negative Escherichia coli synthesized in this study. In addition, the particle size and hydrophilic property of the polymer were changed by changing the amount of initiator, and the differences in their antibacterial properties were studied. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are one of the most serious public health threats in the world, which bring an urgent need to discover novel antibiotics with enhanced broad-spectrum antibacterial activity . Curcumin , as a widely used natural product , has good anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; while, the bioavailability, bioactivity and antibacterial activity design are limited by its poor water-solubility. Here, to improve the bioactivity of curcumin, we show the fabrication of highly water-solvable carbon dots (CDs) by hydrothermal method from citric acid and curcumin. The CDs possess excellent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and antibiofilm activity because they can do damage to the bacterial walls when they get into the bacteria. The bactericidal efficiency of CDs (375 μg/mL) achieves up to 100 % for Gram-negative bacteria ( Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ). Additionally, for Gram-positive bacteria ( Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis ), the bactericidal efficiency reaches 80 %. In addition, these CDs also can completely inhibit the formation of biofilm for the Gram-negative bacteria and the Gram-positive bacteria. This work has a significant meaning in studying new antibacterial nanomaterials derived from natural product and the treatment of infections.

Nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi alloy) has recently received an increasing amount of attention. However, the release of toxic nickel ions and the threat of implant infections has limited its clinical applications. Thus, we report a promising copolymer coating with excellent nickel ion (Ni2+) inhibition release, cytocompatibility, and antimicrobial properties to solve these safety issues involving NiTi alloy implantation. Quaternized copolymers poly (7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin methacrylate-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PCHD-Q) with many hydroxyl and tertiary amine groups were first synthesized, self-assembled into nanoparticles, and then deposited on NiTi substrate through electrodeposition. After UV irradiation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that homogeneous, continuous, and dense coatings were obtained. The coatings showed good improvement of protective behavior for the NiTi alloy in an in vitro environment and could significantly decrease the release of Ni2+ through physical barriers and physical adsorption, which could obviously reduce cytotoxicity inducing by Ni2+. According to in vitro cell viability and antibacterial tests, the quaternized coating materials not only provided a relatively stable biointerface for cell adhesion, spreading and growth, but also obtained excellent antimicrobial activity for the bare NiTi alloy against S. aureus and E. coli. These results suggested that our coatings materials have the potential for improving the safety and success rate of NiTi-based implantations.

Nitrogen doped Mg 2 TiO 4 spinel, i.e. Mg 2 TiO 4−x N y , has been synthesized and investigated as a photocatalyst for antibacterial activity. Mg 2 TiO 4−x N y demonstrates superior photocatalytic activity for E. coli disinfection under visible light illumination (λ ≥ 400 nm). Complete disinfection of E. coli at a bacterial cell density of 1.0 × 10 7 CFU mL −1 can be achieved within merely 60 min. Mg 2 TiO 4−x N y is capable of generating superoxide radicals ( O 2 − ) under visible light illumination which are the reactive oxygen species (ROSs) for bacteria disinfection. DFT calculations have verified the importance of nitrogen dopants in improving the visible light sensitivity of Mg 2 TiO 4−x N y . The facile synthesis, low cost, good biocompatibility and high disinfection activity of Mg 2 TiO 4−x N y warrant promising applications in the field of water purification and antibacterial products.

Abstract An efficient and simple way to generate “clickable” cellulose modules called alkyne-functionalized cellulose fibers (ACFs) for click reaction was presented. This method is only based on one step reaction: propargyl methacrylate (PMA) with pendant alkynyl groups was grafted onto the surface of cellulose fibers (CFs) using ceric ammonium nitrate as the initiator in aqueous medium. This has been providing a new and versatile platform for the wide utilization of cellulose resources and creation of novel functional materials. The effect of process variables on grafting copolymerization of PMA was investigated and suitable preparation conditions were identified. The clickability of ACFs was evaluated by reacting with two azides. The antibacterial cellulose functional material was achieved through incorporation of a “clickable” handle (alkynyl groups) to cellulose fibers followed by rapid attachment of β-cyclodextrin with an azide tag using copper-catalyzed click reaction and loading with ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CipHCl). Pure CFs and ACFs showed a little affinity to CipHCl, whereas click products (ACFs@Azide-β-CD) increased the loading amount dramatically because the equilibrium amount was higher than pure CFs and ACFs. Meanwhile, the release process of CipHCl from ACFs@Azide-β-CD was prolonged to reaches the equilibrium. The ACFs@Azide-β-CD loaded with CipHCl showed excellent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli . The ACFs@Azide-β-CD loading CipHCl have considerably longer bacterial activity against E. coli compared to CFs and ACFs. Graphical abstract

In this study, we explored a new method for preparing C 6 quaternary ammonium chitosan (CTS) derivatives. The C 2 NH 2 of CTS was first protected by benzaldehyde. The C 6 OH of CTS was then transformed into a sulfonyl ester, which was then reacted with NaN 3 through nucleophilic substitution to introduce the N 3 group at the CTS C 6 position. This intermediate was reacted in a click chemistry reaction with a terminal alkynyl quaternary ammonium salt; this was followed by the deprotection of C 2 NH 2 with acid to furnish the C 6 quaternary ammonium CTS derivative. The structures and properties of synthesized products in the reactions were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, NMR, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The effects of the reaction conditions on the degree of Schiff-base CTS quaternization were evaluated by elemental analysis. The largest inhibition zone test and the minimum inhibitory concentration test showed that compared with CTS, the prepared CTS derivative had significantly improved antibacterial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

High-performance conjugated microporous polymer (CMP)/TiO 2 photocatalytic antibacterial nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by in situ Sonogashira polymerization. TiO 2 was uniformly dispersed onto the surface and within the CMP which show the microporous nature with narrow pore size distribution. The high crystallinity and thermal stability of the CMP/TiO 2 nanocomposites are attractive for use as antibacterial materials. The composites we prepared showed excellent photocatalytic antibacterial properties for the inactivation of Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic antibacterial rates of nanocomposites against E. coli and S. aureus after 120 min of visible light irradiation were 98.14% and 100%, respectively. The superoxide anion ( O 2 − ) was confirmed to be an important substance in the antibacterial process above. The cytocompatibility of the antibacterial agents was studied in terms of cytotoxicity against NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. More than 95% of the cells were still alive in the presence of the nanocomposites, both without and with light irradiation, indicating the good cytocompatibility of the nanocomposites. Judging from the excellent photocatalytic antibacterial properties and ultralow toxicity of nanocomposites, these materials can be used in many fields such as medical treatment, transportation and construction.

Natural and high-quality biomass-based coating films are considered promising packaging to consumers. However, the poor mechanical properties and weak antimicrobial activity of biomass materials have limited their practical application. A cleaner and low-cost strategy is used to prepare antimicrobial, self-recovery, and biocompatible coating films using tamarind kernel powder (TKP) and chitosan (CS). The TKP protein and chitosan chains were covalently cross-linked with tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride (THPC) to form a three-dimensional network based on THPC-amine dynamic bonds, and act as a sacrificial bond. Then, the hydrogen bond forms an interpenetrating network to build a strong multi-network film. Thus, the THPC multi-crosslinking TKP based films showed enhanced stretchable property (increased from 3.23 % to 77.54 %), and self-recovery after 30 min of recovery. Additionally, the film has been found to exhibit low water vapor permeability, low oxygen transmittance rate, and excellent antimicrobial efficiency (maximum inhibition zones: 24.39 mm). Moreover, the prepared films were demonstrated to be biocompatible and non-hemolytic based on cell viability and hemolytic activity assays. The method described herein could broaden the scope of biomass-based materials in the realm of antimicrobial coating films.

Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (CH)-based blend films were prepared via a simple mixing and casting method. The films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis). Mechanical properties, thermogravimetric (TG), derivative thermogravimetric (DTG), and the inhibition of biofilm formation against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 ( P. aeruginosa PAO1) of CH/PVA films were investigated. The results indicated that CH and PVA in the blend films interacted by physical crosslinks consisting of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with compatibility, and were more thermally-stable than that of PVA. CH addition decreased the tensile strength and the light transmittance. CH60:PVA40 film showed notable activity against adhesion and inhibited biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa PAO1, indicating that CH60:PVA40 film could be applied as an antimicrobial and biofilm inhibiting food packaging material .

To confer cellulose fibers antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, chitosan (CS)/lignosulfonates (LS) multilayers were constructed on fibers surfaces through layer-by-layer deposition technique. The formation of CS/LS multilayers on cellulose fibers surfaces was verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and zeta potential measurement. The surface morphologies of CS/LS multilayers on fibers surfaces were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results showed that characteristic element (i.e. N and S element) content increased with increasing bilayers number, the surface LS content increased linearly as a function of bilayers. Zeta potential of modified fibers was inversed after deposition of each layer. AFM phase images indicated that the cellulose microfibrils on fibers surfaces were gradually covered by granular LS aggregate. The antimicrobial testing results demonstrated that CS/LS multilayers modified fibers with CS in the outermost layer exhibited higher antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli . The antioxidant testing results showed that antioxidant activity of CS/LS multilayers modified fibers was better than that of original fibers under the same oxidation conditions.
