Abstract
Bacteria are mechanically resistant biological structures that can sustain physical stress. Experimental data, however, have shown that high-aspect-ratio nanopillars deform bacterial cells upon contact. If the deformation is sufficiently large, it lyses the bacterial cell wall, ultimately leading to cell death. This has prompted a novel strategy, known as mechano-bactericide technology, to fabricate antibacterial surfaces. Although adhesion forces were originally proposed as the driving force for mechano-bactericidal action, it has been recently shown that external forces, such as capillary forces arising from an air-water interface at bacterial surfaces, produce sufficient loads to rapidly kill bacteria on nanopillars. This discovery highlights the need to theoretically examine how bacteria respond to external loads and to ascertain the key factors. In this study, we developed a finite element model approximating bacteria as elastic shells filled with cytoplasmic fluid brought into contact with an individual nanopillar or nanopillar array. This model elucidates that bacterial killing caused by external forces on nanopillars is influenced by surface topography and cell biomechanical variables, including the density and arrangement of nanopillars, in addition to the cell wall thickness and elastic modulus. Considering that surface topography is an important design parameter, we performed experiments using nanopillar arrays with precisely controlled nanopillar diameters and spacing. Consistent with model predictions, these demonstrate that nanopillars with a larger spacing increase bacterial susceptibility to mechanical puncture. The results provide salient insights into mechano-bactericidal activity and identify key design parameters for implementing this technology.

Abstract
The design of functional micro or nanostructured surfaces is undergoing extensive research for their intriguing multifunctional properties and for large variety of potential applications in biomedical field (tissue engineering or cell adhesion), electronics, optics or microfluidics. Such nanosized topographies can be easily fabricated by various lithography techniques and can be also further reinforced by synergic effect by combining aforementioned structures along materials with already outstanding antibacterial properties. In this work we fabricated novel micro/nanostructured substrates using soft lithography replication method and subsequent thermal nanoimprint lithography method, creating nanostructured films based on poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA) fortified by thin silver films deposited by PVD. Main nanoscale patterns were fabricated by replicating surface patterns of optical discs (CDs and DVDs), which proved to be easy, fast and inexpensive method for creating relatively large area patterned surfaces. Their antimicrobial activity was examined in vitro against the bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains. The results demonstrated that nanopatterned films actually improved the conditions for bacterial growth compared to pristine PLLA films, the novelty is based on formation of Ag nanoparticles on the surface/and in bulk, while silver nanoparticle enhanced and nanopatterned films exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against both bacterial strains, with circa 80 % efficacy in 4 h and complete bactericidal effect in span of 24 h.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147510. [PMID: 35886855 PMCID: PMC9318148 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23147510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Most antibacterial nanomaterials used in food packaging act by releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cannot efficiently have an inhibitory effect by penetrating the cell wall of Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. In this work, we used the cruciform petal-like zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) synthesized in the water phase which can release active Zn compounds in aqueous solution and exert a stronger inhibitory effect on S. aureus. The experimental results demonstrated that the aqueous cruciform petal-like ZIF-8 has the same photocatalytic activity as traditional ZIF-8 and can be applied in photocatalytic bacterial inactivation. The cruciform petal-like ZIF-8 was also shown to release active Zn compounds in aqueous solution with a better antibacterial effect against S. aureus, reaching 95% inactivation efficiency. The antibacterial effect was therefore 70% higher than that of traditional ZIF-8. Based on its excellent antibacterial properties, we loaded petal-like ZIF-8, PDA and PVA onto ordinary fibers to prepare ZIF-8-Film. The results further showed that ZIF-8-Film has a high filtration capacity, which can be used in antibacterial packaging material with the required air permeability. Moreover, ZIF-8-Flim can clean the surface on its own and can maintain a sterile environment. It is different from other disposable materials on the market in that it can be reused and has a self-disinfection function.
