Metal Complexes-A Promising Approach to Target Biofilm Associated Infections

Rodica Olar et al.

Summary: Microbial biofilms are sessile microbial communities that adhere to surfaces and produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Traditional antimicrobials are ineffective against biofilm-associated infections. Complexes based on 3D ions have potential as antimicrobial agents against biofilm infections. This review discusses the development of these complexes and their incorporation into composite platforms to reduce the negative impact of medical biofilms.

Multidrug Resistance (MDR): A Widespread Phenomenon in Pharmacological Therapies

Alessia Catalano et al.

Summary: Multidrug resistance, including resistance to anticancer agents and antimicrobial drugs, is a significant concern in public health. The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of pathogenic bacteria resistant to multiple drugs, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may worsen antimicrobial resistance. Nanodrug delivery systems have shown promise in overcoming resistance.

Bactericidal Anisotropic Nanostructures on Titanium Fabricated by Maskless Dry Etching

Anindo Roy et al.

Summary: Bioinspired nanostructured antibacterial surfaces can be achieved by reactive ion etching (RIE) of titanium substrates. The chamber condition plays a critical role in determining the morphology of the nanostructures, and proper cleaning protocols using fluorine plasma can achieve reproducibly high aspect ratio (HAR) nanostructures. Various types of nanostructures can be fabricated by controlling process parameters, and the bactericidal mechanism and efficiency of HAR nanopillars are primarily dependent on their aspect ratio.

Hydrophobic Recovery of Plasma-Hydrophilized Polyethylene Terephthalate Polymers

Gregor Primc et al.

Summary: Oxygen plasma is widely used to improve the wettability of polymers like PET, but the mechanisms leading to hydrophilic surfaces are not well understood. Plasma treatment can result in temporary wettability, with a tendency towards hydrophobic recovery. This paper reviews the mechanisms of hydrophobic recovery, while also discussing methods to suppress this effect. It recommends treatment with energetic ions and/or vacuum ultraviolet radiation to achieve stable hydrophilicity of PET samples. The influence of different plasma species on the formation and stability of highly hydrophilic surfaces in PET materials is also discussed.

Antibacterial and Antiviral Functional Materials: Chemistry and Biological Activity toward Tackling COVID-19-like Pandemics

Bhuvaneshwari Balasubramaniam et al.

Summary: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has raised awareness about preventing the spread of microorganisms, leading to increased interest in research on surfaces that can destroy or inhibit microbial/viral entities. While there is more research available on antibacterial materials, there is a relative scarcity of data on antiviral materials. However, with continued research in this area, new information is constantly being added to the literature, highlighting the potential for breakthrough interventions in mitigating disease spread.
