Cost-effective fabrication, antibacterial application and cell viability studies of modified nonwoven cotton fabric. Sci Rep 2022; 12:2493. [PMID: 35169158 PMCID: PMC8847346 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-06391-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
In the present work, nonwoven cotton fabric was modified for antibacterial applications using low-cost and eco-friendly precursors. The treatment of fabric with alkali leads to the formation of active sites for surface modification, followed by dip coating with silver nanoparticles and chitosan. The surface was chlorinated in the next step to transform amide (N-H) groups in chitosan into N-halamine (N-Cl). The modified and unmodified surfaces of the nonwoven cotton fabric have been characterized by FTIR, SEM, and XRD. The active chlorine loading is measured with iodine/sodium thiosulphate. The antimicrobial activity and cell toxicity assay were carried out with and without modifications of nonwoven cotton fabric. The antimicrobial efficacies of loaded fabric were evaluated against four bacterial species (Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, and E.coli). It was found that modified fabric exhibited superior efficiency against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains as compared to their bulk counterparts upon exposure without affecting strength and integrity of fabric. The overall process is economical for commercial purposes. The modified fabric can be used for antimicrobial, health, and food packaging industries, and in other biomedical applications.

Abstract
Disposal of the pollutants arising from farming cattle and other livestock threatens the environment and public safety in diverse ways. Herein, we report on the synthesis of engineered biochars using cow dung as raw material, and investigating these biochars as antibacterial agents for water decontamination. By coating the biochars with N-halamine polymer and loading them with active chlorine (i.e., Cl+), we were able to regulate them on demand by tuning the polymer coating and bleaching conditions. The obtained N-halamine-modified biochars were found to be extremely potent against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. We also investigated the possibility of using these N-halamine-modified biochars for bacterial decontamination in real-world applications. Our findings indicated that a homemade filter column packed with N-halamine-modified biochars removed pathogenic bacteria from mining sewage, dairy sewage, domestic sewage, and artificial seawater. This proposed strategy could indicate a new way for utilizing livestock pollutants to create on-demand decontaminants.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens are the main cause of human foodborne diseases and pose a serious threat to food safety. The control of them has always been a significant issue in food industry. With good biocompatibility and stability, nanomaterials display excellent bactericidal properties against many kinds of bacteria. In this review, the generation and application of nanostructures as antibacterial in the control of foodborne pathogens was summarized. The antibacterial effects of photocatalytic and contact bacteriostatic nanomaterials agents were mainly introduced. The influence factors and mechanisms of nanomaterials on the inactivation of foodborne pathogens were displayed. The photocatalytic nanostructured bacteriostatic agents can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lead to charge transfer, which result in damaging of cell wall and leakage of small molecules under light irradiation. In addition, metals and metal oxide nanoparticles can kill bacterial cells by releasing metal ions, forming ROS and electrostatic interaction with cell membrane. Besides, the synergistic action of nanoparticles with natural antibacterial agents can improve the stability of these agents and their bactericidal performance. These current researches provided a broader idea for the control of microorganisms in food.

Abstract
In recent years, the irrational use of antibiotics has escalated the evolution of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains. The infectious diseases caused by these MDR bacterial strains remain a major threat to human health and have emerged as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The WHO and CDC have expressed serious concern regarding the continued increase in the development of multidrug resistance among bacteria. The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a severe global threat of growing concern to human health and economic burden. Bacteria have developed the ability to resist antimicrobials by altering target site/enzyme, inactivation of the enzyme, decreasing cell permeability, increasing efflux due to over-expression of efflux pumps, target protection, target overproduction, and many other ways. The shortage of new antimicrobials and rapid rise in antibiotic resistance demands pressing need to develop alternate antibacterial agents.

Co-adsorption of synthetic Mincle agonists and antigen to silica nanoparticles for enhanced vaccine activity: A formulation approach to co-delivery. Int J Pharm 2020; 593:120119.

Abstract
To date there is no clinically approved adjuvant to drive a protective T-helper cell 17 (Th17) immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Trehalose Dimycolate (TDM) is a glycolipid molecule found in the cell wall of Mtb and similar species. Our team has discovered novel synthetic TDM derivatives that target Mincle receptors and when presented on the surface of amine functionalized silica nanoparticles (A-SNPs) adopt the requisite supramolecular structure for Mincle receptor agonism. Here we describe the preparation and characterization methods for these critical silica nanoparticles (SNPs) co-loaded with Mincle agonists (MAs) and a model antigen. In this work, A-SNPs with a particle diameter of 246 ± 11 nm were prepared and examined for co-adsorption of two synthetic MAs along with ovalbumin (OVA). Due to the insolubility of the studied MAs in aqueous environment, aggregation of the MAs made separation of the adjuvant-loaded A-SNPs from the free-form MAs via centrifugation very challenging. To facilitate separation, we synthesized modified SNPs with comparable amine surface functionalization to the original A-SNPs, but with a superparamagnetic iron oxide core (M-A-SNPs), to allow for magnetic separation. We also substituted Alexa Fluor 488-labeled ovalbumin (AF 488 OVA) for the un-tagged OVA to improve the sensitivity of our quantitation method. A RP-HPLC method was developed to simultaneously determine the amount of adsorption of both the Mincle adjuvant and the model antigen to the A-SNPs. AF488 OVA demonstrated higher than 90% adsorption, with or without the co-adsorption of MAs. Likewise, MAs exhibited higher than 80% adsorption in the presence or absence of antigen. The developed formulations were tested in vitro using murine RAW cells and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, exhibiting good cytokine induction in both cell lines. Results from these studies indicate that A-SNPs could be used as a customizable presentation platform to co-deliver antigens along with different MAs of varying structural features and biophysical properties.

Abstract
A novel composite unit of enhanced synergism that rises from the use of a cationic pyridinium structure to attract anionic bacteria to three N-halamine structures was designed for superior biocidability on recyclable magnetic nanoparticles. Briefly, 5-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)hydantoin (HBH), containing one imide and amide NH bonds, was synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation ofp-hydroxybenzaldehyde with hydantoin. 3-Triethoxysilylpropyl succinic anhydride was ammonolyzed with 4-aminopyridine to introduce a pyridine structure and form an amide NH and a carboxylic acid group that was esterified with HBH to introduce its two NH bonds. The triethoxysilyl groups of the esterification product were hydrolyzed into silanols to condense with the counterparts of different hydrolysates and on silica modified Fe3O4nanoparticles to provide a layer of polymeric modifier. After quaternization of the pyridine and chlorination of NH bonds from each esterification product, the resultant layer is composed of units each of which contains one pyridinium and threeN-halamine sites and exerted higher biocidability against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus than comparable systems including synergistic ones with one cationic center and one N-halamine, demonstrating an enhanced synergism. The biocidal layer had promising stability under quenching-chlorinating cycles and long-term storage. The study affords a strategy for syntheses of more powerful biocidal surfaces.

Abstract
A biocidal composite unit with improved synergism, using one cationic quaternary ammonia salt (QAS) site to attract electronegative bacteria to three highly biocidal N-halamine sites, was designed for the first time and attached onto surface of magnetic silica coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (silica@Fe3O4NPs) for superior biocidability, large killing area, and easy recyclability. Briefly, a compound containing one imide and two amide NH bonds, 2-(2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-yl)-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (DHPA), was prepared by amidation of hydantoin acetic acid with p-aminophenol. A biocidal precursor of one QAS site and three N-halamine sites was then constructed by alcoholysis of 3-triethoxysilylpropyl succinic anhydride with 2-(dimethylamino)ethan-1-ol to introduce a tertiary amine and subsequent esterification with DHPA to introduce three NH bonds. The triethoxysilyl groups in the precursor were hydrolyzed to silanol groups to condense with their counterparts on silica@Fe3O4 NPs. The surface of resultant NPs carried units each contains one QAS site and three N-halamine sites after quaternization and chlorination. The biocidal surface showed superior biocidability against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus than reported systems due to the improved synergism between multiple antibacterial groups of different types and was stable towards quenching-chlorinating process and storage. The successful design opens insight in the syntheses of more powerful biocides.

Abstract
The increased demand for water highlights the need to utilize reclaimed water of various types. In agriculture, for example, which is considered the largest consumer of freshwater, irrigation with treated wastewater can replace much of the need for freshwater. Wastewater is generally used for irrigation through drippers, releasing small amounts of water to the crops. The contaminants found in treated wastewater increase the accumulation of fouling on the drippers, ultimately culminating in blocking of water exit. Thus, there is a crucial need to develop novel approaches to limit biofilm formation on the dripper. Here, we describe the synthesis of N-halamine-derivatized cross-linked polymethacrylamide nanoparticles (NPs) by copolymerization of the monomer methacrylamide and the cross-linker monomer N, N-methylenebisacrylamide and their subsequent embedding in the polyethylene that is used to fabricate the drippers. The newly designed drip system was activated by chlorinating the incorporated NPs and then was fully characterized. The nanofunctionalized drippers were tested in the field, showing excellent antifouling activity for at least 5 months compared to the control. In addition, the inherent recharging capacity of the antifouling NPs constitutes yet another valuable advantage of the currently reported technology.

Abstract
The reactions of a monomeric N-halamine, 1-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (MCDMH), and a mesoporous material-supported N-halamine (MMSNs) with phenol and p-cresol (two common contaminants in water) were investigated. MCDMH reacted rapidly with the phenolic compounds, and pH values had little effects on the reactions. On the contrary, MMSNs reacted with phenol and p-cresol only when the pH values were higher than 10. Phenol showed a lower reaction rate than p-cresol toward MMSNs. GCMS analysis suggested that MMSNs might react with the phenolic compounds through step-wise electrophilic chlorination reactions, and the main product was 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. The reaction kinetics were studied by following the disappearance of phenolic UV absorption bands, and the kinetic parameters were determined.

Abstract
In the last years, the antimicrobial resistance against antibiotics has become a serious health issue, arise as global threat. This has generated a search for new strategies in the progress of new antimicrobial therapies. In this context, different nanosystems with antimicrobial properties have been studied. Specifically, magnetic nanoparticles seem to be very attractive due to their relatively simple synthesis, intrinsic antimicrobial activity, low toxicity and high versatility. Iron oxide NPs (IONPs) was authorized by the World Health Organization for human used in biomedical applications such as in vivo drug delivery systems, magnetic guided therapy and contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging have been widely documented. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of different magnetic nanoparticles has recently been demonstrated.

Abstract
Biofilms contribute to persistent bacterial infections as well as formidable resistances to conventional antibiotics. However, it is still a major challenge to establish an advanced antibacterial nanoplatform that can efficiently eradicate biofilms while overcoming bacterial resistances. Taking advantage of the stimuli-responsive technique and the magnetic guidance strategy, here we present a highly efficient nanoplatform for planktonic inactivation and biofilm disruption. The multilayer films consisting of antibiotic gentamicin (Gen), tannic acid, and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were fabricated and coated on magnetic nanoparticles via electrostatic interactions. To achieve controlled drug release and improved biocompatibility, biodegradable hyaluronic acid was capped on the outer surface as a responsive shell. In vitro release profiles suggested that the nanocomposites showed both enzyme and pH-responsive release properties. The nanoplatform could be employed as a powerful nanocarrier for small molecular Gen and AgNPs delivery and on-demand release in response to bacterial infection microenvironment. The nanocomposites also showed satisfying antibacterial capacities against planktonic Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli. Intriguingly, with magnetic field navigation (NdFeB, 2000 gauss), the nanocomposites could be guided to handily penetrate into S. aureus biofilm and performed dual-responsive release, showing significantly enhanced biofilm disruption. Moreover, excess reactive oxygen species production resulting from the nanocomposites contributed to the decomposition of biofilm matrix and ultimate biofilm eradication. As a consequence, the ingenious antibacterial nanoplatform could be promising for combating biofilm infections while overcoming bacterial resistances with extra environmental factors such as magnetic field.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is one of the most severe postoperative complications leading to clinical orthopedic implants failure. To improve the antibacterial property of titanium (Ti) substrates, a bioactive coating composed of chitosan-1-(hydroxymethyl)- 5,5-dimethylhydantoin (Chi-HDH-Cl) and gelatin (Gel) was fabricated via layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that Chi-HHD-Cl conjugate was successfully synthesized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and water contact angle measurements were employed to monitor the morphology, roughness changes and surface wettability of Ti substrates, which proved the multilayers coating formation. Antibacterial assay against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) revealed that the Gel/Chi-HDH-Cl modified Ti substrates most efficiently inhibited the adhesion and growth of bacteria. Meanwhile, in vitro cellular tests confirmed that Gel/Chi-HDH-Cl multilayers had no obvious cytotoxicity to osteoblasts. The study thus provides a promising method to fabricate antibacterial Ti-based substrates for potential orthopedic application.

Al-Dhabi-87 and Its In Vitro Application against Multidrug Resistant and Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Clinical Pathogens. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2018; 8:E279. [PMID: 29701657 PMCID: PMC5977293 DOI: 10.3390/nano8050279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2018] [Revised: 04/19/2018] [Accepted: 04/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
A novel antagonistic marine Streptomyces sp. Al-Dhabi-87 that was recovered from the Gulf region of Saudi Arabia was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (NP) from the culture free extract. The produced NP were confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), high-resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDAX), and X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), and broth micro dilution techniques were employed for the determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values. The synthesized NP was authenticated by alterations in color and wavelength scanning. HRSEM and TEM analysis confirmed that the size of the NP ranged from 10 to 17 nm and that it was spherical in shape. In addition, the FTIR spectrum revealed a variation in the band values from 500 to 3300 cm−1 respectively. Rietveld refinement analysis of the XRD data confirmed the size of the NP, which coincided with the results of the TEM analysis. In addition, the Riveted refinement analysis supported the TEM data. The NP documented significant activity against the wound infection microbial strains, such as Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus. Gram negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Escherichia coli revealed MIC values of 0.039, 0.078, and 0.152 mg/mL, respectively. The promising activity of NP towards extended-spectrum beta-lactamases E.coli, drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and multidrug resistant S. aureus (at 0.018, 0.039, and 0.039 mg/mL, respectively) was advantageous. Overall, NP that were obtained from the novel Streptomyces sp. Al-Dhabi-87, with its promising antimicrobial activity towards the drug resistant pathogens, would be useful for healing infectious diseases.

Abstract
The spread of antibiotic resistance and increasing prevalence of biofilm-associated infections is driving demand for new means to treat bacterial infection. Nanotechnology provides an innovative platform for addressing this challenge, with potential to manage even infections involving multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. The current review summarizes recent progress over the last 2 years in the field of antibacterial nanodrugs, and describes their unique properties, mode of action and activity against MDR bacteria and biofilms. Biocompatibility and commercialization are also discussed. As opposed to the more common division of nanoparticles (NPs) into organic- and inorganic-based materials, this review classifies NPs into two functional categories. The first includes NPs exhibiting intrinsic antibacterial properties and the second is devoted to NPs serving as a cargo for delivering antibacterial agents. Antibacterial nanomaterials used to decorate medical devices and implants are reviewed here as well.

Abstract
Silver chloride nanoparticles were synthesized from the cell-free culture supernatant of Streptomyces strain using green synthesis approach with good yield. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis, IR, SEM, AFM and XRD techniques. These nanoparticles exhibited broad spectrum of antibacterial activity towards Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin sensitive S. aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia at ≤ 2 μg/ml minimal inhibitory concentrations. In vivo bioassay in nanoparticles treated zebrafish embryos exhibited 16 μg/ml dose as maximal cardiac safety concentration and further increases in concentration revealed adverse effects such as pericardial bulging, mouth protrudation, hemorrhage and yolk sac elongation. The less toxicity of nanoparticles treated embryos in terms of cardiac assessment and lethality analysis was observed. The dose below 5 μg/ml is concluded as an in vitro and in vivo therapeutic dose. The properties of this biosynthesized nanoparticle suggest a path towards developing antibiotic nanoparticles that are likely to avoid development of multidrug resistance.

Abstract
Multifunctional Fe3O4@resorcinol-formaldehyde resin/Cu2O composite microstructures (denoted as Fe3O4@RF/Cu2O microstructures) were successfully constructed via a simple wet chemical route that has not been reported so far in the literature. The as-obtained Fe3O4@RF/Cu2O microstructures were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, (high-resolution) transmission electron microscopy, selected-area electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy. The investigations showed that the as-obtained microstructures presented not only excellent antibacterial activity to Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative bacteria) but also highly efficient catalytic ability for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in a solution with excess NaBH4. Owing to the presence of Fe3O4, the antibacterial reagent and the catalyst could be readily collected from the mixed systems under the assistance of an external magnetic field. It was found that the as-obtained microstructures displayed good cycling stability in antibacterial and catalytic applications. Fe3O4@RF/Cu2O microstructures still retained more than 87% of the antibacterial efficiency after 5 cycles and 89% of the catalytic efficiency after 10 cycles.

Abstract
The resistance of infectious bacteria to current antibiotics is a worldwide problem caused, partially, by the overuse of antimicrobials. The use of nanotechnology as an innovative tool against bacterial infections provides a range of methodologies to redesign old antibiotics for novel and remarkable new strategies. Thus, functionalized antibiotics present structures with improved bioavailability, low toxicity and specificity to bacterial membrane. In this context, this review will describe the use of nanotechnology as an innovative tool to functionalize antibiotics. In addition, the importance of the interdisciplinary context to understand, develop and apply these systems as an innovative tool for drug development and improvement is discussed.
