The influence of metal complexation on two ss-lactam antibiotics was investigated using SERS technique. It was found that metal complexation can promote the degradation and change the antibacterial activity of the antibiotics.
The influence of metal complexation of two polar ss-lactam antibiotics was investigated using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technique. SERS method was applied to track the structural changes and the degradation behaviour of the studied compounds upon Zinc (II) ions-complexation. In situ laser-induced coral reefs-like photomicroclusters have been utilized as a SERS platform. The produced coral reefs-like photomicroclusters were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The antibacterial efficiency of the antibiotics was investigated and compared before and after metal complexation using two techniques; agar well diffusion and growth curve. To provide a detailed elucidation of the complexation reaction, mass fragmentation of metal- antibiotics complexes was investigated using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometric (LC/MS) technique. It was found that metal complexation of classical ss-lactam antibiotic (Ticarcillin) promoted the rate of its degradation, leading to a decrease of the antibacterial efficiency. On the other side, the antibacterial activity of the newly developed ss-lactam (Faropenem) has been greatly enhanced via metal-complexation reaction.
