[PMID: 36651058 DOI: 10.1080/1040841x.2023.2167593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Present-day healthcare employs several types of invasive devices, including urinary catheters, to improve medical wellness, the clinical outcome of disease, and the quality of patient life. Among urinary catheters, the Foley catheter is most commonly used in patients for bladder drainage and collection of urine. Although such devices are very useful for patients who cannot empty their bladder for various reasons, they also expose patients to catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Catheter provides an ideal surface for bacterial colonization and biofilm formation, resulting in persistent bacterial infection and severe complications. Hence, rigorous efforts have been made to develop catheters that harbour antimicrobial and anti-fouling properties to resist colonization by bacterial pathogens. In this regard, catheter modification by surface functionalization, impregnation, blending, or coating with antibiotics, bioactive compounds, and nanoformulations have proved to be effective in controlling biofilm formation. This review attempts to illustrate the complications associated with indwelling Foley catheters, primarily focussing on challenges in fighting CAUTI, catheter colonization, and biofilm formation. In this review, we also collate scientific literature on catheter modification using antibiotics, plant bioactive components, bacteriophages, nanoparticles, and studies demonstrating their efficacy through in vitro and in vivo testing.

Abstract
Insufficient antibacterial effects and over-fast degradation are the main limitations of magnesium (Mg)-based orthopedic implants. In this study, a sandwiched composite coating containing a triclosan (TCS)-loaded poly(lactic acid) (PLA) layer inside and brushite (DCPD) layer outside was prepared on the surface of the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr (denoted as JDBM) implant. In vitro degradation tests revealed a remarkable improvement in the corrosion resistance and moderate degradation rate. The drug release profile demonstrated a controllable and sustained TCS release for at least two weeks in vitro. The antibacterial rates of the implant were all over 99.8% for S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and E. coli, demonstrating superior antibacterial effects. Additionally, this coated JDBM implant exhibited no cytotoxicity but improved cell adhesion and proliferation, indicating excellent cytocompatibility. In vivo assays were conducted by implant-related femur osteomyelitis and osseointegration models in rats. Few bacteria were attached to the implant surface and the surrounding bone tissue. Furthermore, the coated JDBM implant exhibited more new bone formation than other groups due to the synergistic biological effects of released TCS and Mg2+, revealing excellent osteogenic ability. In summary, the JDBM implant with the sandwiched composite coating could significantly enhance the antibacterial activities and osteogenic properties simultaneously by the controllable release of TCS and Mg2+, presenting great potential for clinical transformation.

Abstract
Organosilicon polymers (silicones) are an important part of material chemistry and a well-established commercial product segment with a wide range of applications. Silicones are of enduring interest due to their unique properties and utility. Recently, new application areas for silicone-based materials have emerged, such as stretchable electronics, wearable stress sensors, smart coatings, and soft robotics. For this reason, research interest over the past decade has been directed towards new methods of crosslinking and increasing the mechanical strength of polyorganosiloxanes. The introduction of self-healing mechanisms may be a promising alternative for such high-value materials. This approach has gained both growing research interest and a rapidly expanding range of applications. Inherent extrinsic and intrinsic self-healing methods have been used in the self-healing of silicones and have resulted in significant advances in polymer composites and coatings, including multicomponent systems. In this review, we present a summary of research work dedicated to the synthesis and applications of self-healing hybrid materials containing polysiloxane segments, with a focus on antimicrobial and antifouling coatings.

Bacteria as sensors: Real-time NMR analysis of extracellular metabolites detects sub-lethal amounts of bactericidal molecules released from functionalized materials. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2023; 1867:130253. [PMID: 36228877 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2022.130253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cells exposed to stress factors experience time-dependent variations of metabolite concentration, acting as reliable sensors of the effective concentration of drugs in solution. NMR can detect and quantify changes in metabolite concentration, thus providing an indirect estimate of drug concentration. The quantification of bactericidal molecules released from antimicrobial-treated biomedical materials is crucial to determine their biocompatibility and the potential onset of drug resistance. METHODS Real-time NMR measurements of extracellular metabolites produced by bacteria grown in the presence of known concentrations of an antibacterial molecule (irgasan) are employed to quantify the bactericidal molecule released from antimicrobial-treated biomedical devices. Viability tests assess their activity against E. coli and S. aureus planktonic and sessile cells. AFM and contact angle measurements assisted in the determination of the mechanism of antibacterial action. RESULTS NMR-derived concentration kinetics of metabolites produced by bacteria grown in contact with functionalized materials allows for indirectly evaluating the effective concentration of toxic substances released from the device, lowering the detection limit to the nanomolar range. NMR, AFM and contact angle measurements support a surface-killing mechanism of action against bacteria. CONCLUSIONS The NMR based approach provides a reliable tool to estimate bactericidal molecule release from antimicrobial materials. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The novelty of the proposed NMR-based strategy is that it i) exploits bacteria as sensors of the presence of bactericidal molecules in solution; ii) is independent of the chemo-physical properties of the analyte; iii) establishes the detection limit to nanomolar concentrations.

Abstract
The diversity and dynamics of the microbial species populating the human vagina are increasingly understood to play a pivotal role in vaginal health. However, our knowledge about the potential interactions between the vaginal microbiota and vaginally administered drug delivery systems is still rather limited. Several drug-releasing vaginal ring products are currently marketed for hormonal contraception and estrogen replacement therapy, and many others are in preclinical and clinical development for these and other clinical indications. As with all implantable polymeric devices, drug-releasing vaginal rings are subject to surface bacterial adherence and biofilm formation, mostly associated with endogenous microorganisms present in the vagina. Despite more than 50 years since the vaginal ring concept was first described, there has been only limited study and reporting around bacterial adherence and biofilm formation on rings. With increasing interest in the vaginal microbiome and vaginal ring technology, this timely review article provides an overview of: (i) the vaginal microbiota, (ii) biofilm formation in the human vagina and its potential role in vaginal dysbiosis, (iii) mechanistic aspects of biofilm formation on polymeric surfaces, (iv) polymeric materials used in the manufacture of vaginal rings, (v) surface morphology characteristics of rings, (vi) biomass accumulation and biofilm formation on vaginal rings, and (vii) regulatory considerations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination therapy of Isotretinoin (ITR) and antibacterial formulations administered through topical route suffer from several limitations including reduced therapeutic efficacy and low patient-compliance. EXPERIMENT The present study aimed to develop biocompatible lipid-based mixed micelles of ITR in combination with Clindamycin phosphate (CLIN) employing self-assembly method to improve its skin delivery, photostability, biocompatibility and pharmacodynamic efficacy. RESULTS The MTT assay and cellular uptake studies showed non-cytotoxic effect to HaCat cell lines. The zone of inhibition studies conducted in Propionibacterium acnes provides the first literature evidence to support the antimicrobial property of Isotretinoin and Tretinioin. The nano-sized carriers offered (19.3 ± 1.03 nm particle size with -3.12 mV zeta potential) enhanced permeation, skin retention, pre-clinical efficacy and significant skin biocompatibility. The testosterone-induced acne model proved superior pharmacodynamic efficacy of lab developed formulation vis-à-vis marketed products of both the drugs. The results were further confirmed by the histopathological studies of respective skin samples treated with different formulations. CONCLUSION The lab developed lipid-based micellar formulation of ITR and CLIN offers a better strategy for the combined delivery of unstable molecules like ITR and CLIN in acne management.

Abstract
Silicone implants are widely used in the medical field for plastic or reconstructive surgeries for the purpose of soft tissue issues. However, as with any implanted object, healthcare-associated infections are not completely avoidable. The material suffers from a lack of biocompatibility and is often subject to bacterial/microbial infections characterized by biofilm growth. Numerous strategies have been developed to either prevent, reduce, or fight bacterial adhesion by providing an antibacterial property. The present review summarizes the diverse approaches to deal with bacterial infections on silicone surfaces along with the different methods to activate/oxidize the surface before any surface modifications. It includes antibacterial coatings with antibiotics or nanoparticles, covalent attachment of active bacterial molecules like peptides or polymers. Regarding silicone surfaces, the activation step is essential to render the surface reactive for any further modifications using energy sources (plasma, UV, ozone) or chemicals (acid solutions, sol-gel strategies, chemical vapor deposition). Meanwhile, corresponding work on breast silicone prosthesis is discussed. The latter is currently in the line of sight for causing severe capsular contractures. Specifically, to that end, besides chemical modifications, the antibacterial effect can also be achieved by physical surface modifications by adjusting the surface roughness and topography for instance.

Abstract
Due to their high biocompatibility silicone elastomers are the material of choice in many sensitive health care applications. However, the inherent hydrophobicity of the polymer makes silicones more susceptible to spontaneous protein adsorption and subsequent biofilm formation than more hydrophilic abiotic materials. Hence, the development of antimicrobial silicone elastomers could help to reduce potential biofilm-associated infections when using silicone based medical devices. In this study, we describe carboxylic-acid-modified silicone elastomers that are biocompatible and exhibit a specific antimicrobial activity against clinically relevant pathogens even after being stored in common packaging materials.

Abstract
Developing antimicrobial coatings to eliminate biotic contamination is a critical need for all surfaces, including medical, industrial, and domestic materials. The wide variety of materials used in these fields, from natural polymers to metals, require coatings that not only are antimicrobial, but also contain different surface chemistries for covalent immobilization. Alkyl "-onium" salts are potent biocides that have defied bacterial resistance mechanisms when confined to an interface. In this feature article, we highlight the various methods used to covalently immobilize bactericidal polymers to different surfaces and further examine the mechanistic aspects of biocidal action with these surface bound poly"-onium" salts.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to prepare organogels of Carbopol 974P NF (C974) in PEG 400 by using a novel technique, high-speed homogenization followed by microwave heating. Triclosan (TCS) was used as a model drug. C974, at concentrations ranging between 2% and 4%, was dispersed in 25 ml of PEG 400, and the dispersion was homogenised for 5 min at 24,000 rpm. The dispersion was either heated at 80°C in water bath under mechanic stirring at 200 rpm or exposed to micro-irradiation (1,200 W/1 h) for 2 min. The formulations prepared with both methods performed a well-structured gel matrix characteristic at 3% and 4% of C974 concentrations. As the concentrations of the polymer increased, the elastic properties also increased. The viscosity profiles indicated a shear-thinning system. DSC data revealed that TCS was dissolved in gel. Skin accumulation ability of TCS had been improved by these novel organogels regardless of the preparation method. TCS was still microbiologically effective after the microwave process was applied. It was determined that microwave heating is a suitable method to obtain C974 organogels. This novel production technique developed might be promising especially in industrial scale when the dramatic reduction in the preparation time and energy were considered.

Abstract
Vaginal rings are currently being developed for the long-term (at least 30 days) continuous delivery of microbicides against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Research to date has mostly focused on devices containing a single antiretroviral compound, exemplified by the 25mg dapivirine ring currently being evaluated in a Phase III clinical study. However, there is a strong clinical rationale for combining antiretrovirals with different mechanisms of action in a bid to increase breadth of protection and limit the emergence of resistant strains. Here we report the development of a combination antiretroviral silicone elastomer matrix-type vaginal ring for simultaneous controlled release of dapivirine, a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, and maraviroc, a CCR5-targeted HIV-1 entry inhibitor. Vaginal rings loaded with 25mg dapivirine and various quantities of maraviroc (50-400mg) were manufactured and in vitro release assessed. The 25mg dapivirine and 100mg maraviroc formulation was selected for further study. A 24-month pharmaceutical stability evaluation was conducted, indicating good product stability in terms of in vitro release, content assay, mechanical properties and related substances. This combination ring product has now progressed to Phase I clinical testing.

Abstract
Staphylococcus epidermidis plays a major role in capsular contractures of silicone breast implants. This in vitro study evaluates the antibacterial effect of copper on S. epidermidis in silicone implants. Specimens of a silicone material used for breast augmentation (Cu0) and specimens coated with different copper concentrations (Cu1, Cu2) were artificially aged. Surface roughness and surface free energy were assessed. The specimens were incubated in an S. epidermidis suspension. We assessed the quantification and the viability of adhering bacteria by live/dead cell labeling with fluorescence microscopy. Additionally, inhibition of bacterial growth was evaluated by agar diffusion, broth culture, and quantitative culture of surface bacteria. No significant differences in surface roughness and surface free energy were found between Cu0, Cu1 and Cu2. Aging did not change surface characteristics and the extent of bacterial adhesion. Fluorescence microscopy showed that the quantity of bacteria on Cu0 was significantly higher than that on Cu1 and Cu2. The ratio of dead to total adhering bacteria was significantly lower on Cu0 than on Cu1 and Cu2, and tended to be higher for Cu2 than for Cu1. Quantitative culture showed equal trends. Copper additives seem to have anti-adherence and bactericidal effects on S. epidermidis in vitro.

Abstract
Despite numerous preventive strategies on bacterial adhesion, pathogenic biofilm formation remained the major cause of medical device-related infections. Bacterial interference is a promising strategy that uses pre-established biofilms of benign bacteria to serve as live, protective coating against pathogen colonization. However, the application of this strategy to silicone urinary catheters was hampered by low adherence of benign bacteria onto silicone materials. In this work, we present a general method for biofunctionalization of silicone (PDMS) as one of the most widely used materials for biomedical devices. We used mild CO(2) plasma to activate PDMS surface followed by simple attachment of generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers to generate an amino-terminated surface that were maintained even after storage in PBS buffer for 36 days. We then covalently attach a carboxy-terminated mannose derivative to the modified PDMS to promote the adherence of benign Escherichia coli 83972 expressing mannose-binding type 1 fimbriae. We demonstrated that dense, stable biofilms of E. coli 83972 could be established within 48 h on the mannose-coated PDMS. Significantly, this benign biofilm reduced the adherence of the uropathogenic Enterococcus faecalis by 104-fold after 72 h, while the benign bacteria on the unmodified substrate by only 5.5-fold.

Abstract
Implant surfaces should ideally be designed to promote the attachment of target tissue cells; at the same time, they should prevent bacterial adhesion, achievable through modification strategies comprising three lines of defense. As the first criterion, selective adhesion can be realized by means of non-adhesive coatings that can be functionalized with small peptides, thereby supporting osteogenic cell attachment for implants in bone contact but not bacterial adhesion. The second line of defense, defined by bacterial survival, quorum sensing and biofilm formation, can be addressed by various antimicrobial substances that can be leaching or non-leaching. The possibility of a third line of defense, the disruption of an established biofilm, is just emerging. Since microorganisms are quite ''ingenious'' at finding ways to overcome a certain line of defense, the most promising solution might be a combination of all these antibacterial strategies. Coating systems that allow such different approaches to be combined are scarce. However, ultrathin multifunctional NCO-sP(EO-stat-PO)-based layers may represent a promising platform for such an integrated approach.

Abstract
Biomaterials that inactivate microbes are needed to eliminate medical device infections. We investigate here the antimicrobial nature of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) incorporated within the biomedical polymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). We find Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis viability and metabolic activity to be significantly diminished in the presence of SWNT-PLGA, and to correlate with SWNT length and concentration (<2% by weight). Up to 98% of bacteria die within one hour on SWNT-PLGA versus 15-20% on pure PLGA. Shorter SWNTs are more toxic, possibly due to increased density of open tube ends. This study demonstrates the potential usefulness of SWNT-PLGA as an antimicrobial biomaterial.

Abstract
An ultra-thin polymer film (nanosheet) composed of polysaccharides (i.e., polysaccharide nanosheet) provides sufficient adhesiveness, flexibility and robustness to act as an effective wound dressing. We have recently demonstrated the sealing effect of a nanosheet on a murine cecal puncture. Nevertheless, a small percentage of bacteria penetrated the nanosheet because of its ultra-thin structure. Here, we have developed an antibiotic-loaded nanosheet to inhibit bacterial penetration and investigated its therapeutic efficacy using a model of a murine cecal puncture. Tetracycline (TC) was sandwiched between a poly(vinylacetate) (PVAc) layer and the polysaccharide nanosheet (named PVAc-TC-nanosheet). Under physiological conditions, TC was released from the nanosheet for 6 h. Microscopic observation between the interface of the PVAc-TC-nanosheet and bacteria demonstrated how its potent anti-microbial effect was achieved. In vivo studies show that overlapping therapy with the PVAc-TC-nanosheet (thickness: 177 nm) significantly increases mouse survival rate after cecal puncture as well as suppressing an increase in the intraperitoneal bacterial count and leukocyte count.
