Bio-inspired antibacterial polymer coatings with included silver nanoparticles and porphyrin-based photosensitizer

Rayna Bryaskova et al.

Summary: Novel bio-inspired photoactive antibacterial polymer coatings were prepared on stainless steel, exhibiting good mechanical and antibacterial properties. The coatings consisted of three components deposited on the stainless steel substrate: a catechol-based cationic glue as a universal primer, a silver-loaded nanogel decorated with o-quinones to enhance antibacterial properties and permit photosensitizer grafting, and an ethylene diamine derivative of protoporphyrin IX. The antibacterial activity of the coatings was confirmed against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains, making them promising for medical and biomedical applications.

Bioinspired antifouling and antibacterial polymer coating with intrinsic self-healing property

Anika Benozir Asha et al.

Summary: Infections caused by biofouling are a major concern in the healthcare sector. To combat these infections, multifunctional coatings with antifouling and antibacterial properties are widely used. However, scratches and damages to the coating can compromise its functionality. In this study, a biocompatible and multifunctional coating with self-healing, antifouling, and antibacterial properties was developed. The coating demonstrated excellent performance against protein and bacteria and its durability was significantly extended.

Prevention of hospital pathogen biofilm formation by antimicrobial peptide KWI18

Leticia Souza Lima et al.

Summary: This study investigates the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of a new synthetic peptide, KWI18, against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida parapsilosis biofilms. The results show that KWI18 has antimicrobial activity and can inhibit biofilm formation and cell viability. Its mechanism of action involves ergosterol and induction of oxidative damage. Furthermore, KWI18 exhibits low toxicity to erythrocytes and Galleria mellonella, suggesting its potential as an effective antibiofilm agent.

Non-stoichiometric amorphous TiOx as a highly reactive, transparent anti-viral surface coating

Ravi Teja Mittireddi et al.

Summary: This study developed a highly defective, non-stoichiometric and amorphous TiOx as an efficient anti-viral surface coating, which is more effective against baculovirus compared to anatase modification. The coating is highly transparent and environmentally friendly, synthesized using radio frequency magnetron sputtering, and has potential for commercialization due to cost-effectiveness.

Optimal Balance of Hydrophobic Content and Degree of Polymerization Results in a Potent Membrane-Targeting Antibacterial Polymer

Anju Tyagi et al.

Summary: Excessive use of antibiotics globally has led to increased resistance among disease-causing microorganisms, prompting the exploration of antimicrobial polymers as a promising solution. The molecular weight of these polymers plays a crucial role in their antibacterial efficacy and cytotoxicity, with higher molecular weight polymers exhibiting greater antibacterial activity but also higher cytotoxicity. Overall, the polymers show potential in combating drug-resistant pathogens with varying levels of efficacy and biocompatibility depending on their molecular weight.

Methacrylamide based antibiotic polymers with no detectable bacterial resistance

Anju Tyagi et al.

Summary: The synthesized amphiphilic water-soluble cationic copolymers showed significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, with AB-10 and AB-19 demonstrating the highest efficacy without inducing hemolysis. Observations suggest that these polymers primarily kill bacterial cells by disrupting the cytoplasmic membrane, and no resistant mutants of E. coli and S. aureus were obtained with AB-19 in a 30 day serial passage study.
