Abstract
Innovations in food packaging systems could meet the evolving needs of the market; emerging concepts of non-migrating technologies reduce the negative migration of preservatives from packaging materials, extend shelf life, and improve food quality and safety. Non-migratory packaging activates the surface of inert materials through pretreatment to generate different active groups. The preservative is covalently grafted with the resin of the pretreated packaging substrate through the graft polymerization of the monomer and the coupling reaction of the polymer chain. The covalent link not only provides the required surface properties of the material for a long time but also retains the inherent properties of the polymer. This technique is applied to the processing for durable, stable, and easily controllable packaging widely. This article reviews the principles of various techniques for packaging materials, surface graft modification, and performance characterization of materials after grafting modification. Potential applications in the food industry and future research trends are also discussed.

Contact-Killing Antibacterial Polystyrene Polymerized Using a Quaternized Cationic Initiator. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:9803-9812. [PMID: 38434858 PMCID: PMC10905582 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c10233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Contact-killing antibacterial materials are attracting attention owing to their ability for sustained antibacterial activity. However, contact-killing antibacterial polystyrene (PS) has not been extensively studied because its chemically stable structure impedes chemical modification. In this study, we developed an antibacterial PS sheet with a contact-killing surface using PS synthesized from 2,2'-azobis-[2-(1,3-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-3-ium-2-yl)]propane triflate (ADIP) as a radical initiator with cationic moieties. The PS sheet synthesized with ADIP (ADIP-PS) exhibited antibacterial activity in contrast to PS synthesized with other azo radical initiators. Surface ζ-potential measurements revealed that only ADIP-PS had a cationic surface, which contributed to its contact-killing antibacterial activity. The ADIP-PS sheets also exhibited antibacterial activity after washing. In contrast, PS sheets containing silver, a typical leachable antibacterial agent, lost all antibacterial activity after the same washing treatment. The antibacterial ADIP-PS sheet demonstrated strong broad-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including drug-resistant bacteria. Cytotoxicity tests using L929 cells showed that the ADIP-PS sheets were noncytotoxic. This contact-killing antibacterial PS synthesized with ADIP thus demonstrated good prospects as an easily producible antimicrobial material.

Abstract
In recent years, the utilization of medical devices has gradually increased and implantation procedures have become common treatments. However, patients are susceptible to the risk of implant infections. This study utilized chemical grafting to immobilize polyethylenimine (QPEI) and hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface of the mesh to improve biocompatibility while being able to achieve antifouling antimicrobial effects. From the in vitro testing, PP-PDA-Q-HA exhibited a high antibacterial ratio of 93% against S. aureus, 93% against E. coli, and 85% against C. albicans. In addition, after five rounds of antimicrobial testing, the coating continued to exhibit excellent antimicrobial properties; PP-PDA-Q-HA also inhibits the formation of bacterial biofilms. In addition, PP-PDA-Q-HA has good hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. In vivo studies in animal implantation infection models also demonstrated the excellent antimicrobial properties of PP-PDA-Q-HA. Our study provides a promising strategy for the development of antimicrobial surface medical materials with excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
A critical problem with the use of biomaterial implants is associated with bacterial adhesion on the surface of implants and in turn the biofilm formation. Among different strategies that have been reported to resolve this dilemma, surface design combined with both antiadhesive and antimicrobial properties has proven to be highly effective. Physiochemical properties of polymer brush coatings possess non-adhesive capability against bacterial adhesion and create a niche for further functionalization. The current study aims to evaluate the effect of antibiotics incorporated into the polymer brush on bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. Brushes made of zwitterionic polymers were synthesized, functionalized with vancomycin via both physical and chemical conjugation, and grafted onto the silicon rubber surfaces. Antibacterial and antiadhesive measurements of designed coated biomaterials were mediated through the use of a parallel plate flow chamber against biofilm growth developed by Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli over a period of 24 h. The analysis of biofilm growth on designed coated biomaterials showed that the pristine coated zwitterionic brushes are significantly resistant to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation but not in the polymer brush coating incorporated with antibiotics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this review is to comprehensively summarize the state-of-the-art developments of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) in the prevention and treatment of oral diseases. By discussing the structural diversity and the potential killing mechanism, we try to offer some insights for the future research of QACs. DATA, SOURCES & STUDY SELECTION A literature search was conducted in electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, and Scopus). Publications that involved the applications of QACs, especially those related to the prevention and treatment of oral diseases, are included. RESULTS We have reviewed the relevant research on QACs over the past two decades. The research results indicate that the current applications are mainly focused on dental material modification and direct pharmacological interventions. Concurrently, challenges such as potential risks to normal tissues and impediments in drug resistance and microbial persistence present certain application constraints. The latest studies have encompassed the exploration of smart materials and nanoparticle formulations. CONCLUSIONS The killing mechanism may possess a threshold related to charge density. However, the exact process remains enigmatic. The structural diversity and the exploration of intelligent materials and nanoparticle formulations provide directions in development of novel QACs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The intricate oral anatomy, combined with the multifaceted oral microbiome, necessitates specialized materials for the targeted prevention and treatment of oral pathologies. QACs represent a cohort of compounds distinguished by potent anti-infective and anti-tumor attributes. Innovations in intelligent materials and nanoparticle formulations amplify their potential in significantly advancing the prevention and therapeutic interventions for oral diseases.

Abstract
Antibacterial cotton helps prevent the growth and spread of harmful microorganisms, reduces the risk of infection, and has a prolonged service life by reducing bacterial degradation. However, most antibacterial agents used are toxic to humans and the environment. Citronellol-poly(N,N-dimethyl ethyl methacrylate) (CD), a highly effective antibacterial polymer, is synthesized from natural herbal essential oils (EOs). CD exhibited efficient, rapid bactericidal activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and drug-resistant bacteria. Citronellol's environmental benignity makes CDs less hemolytic. Notably, negligible drug resistance developed after 15 bacterial subcultures. The CD-treated cotton fabric displayed better antibacterial performance than AAA-grade antibacterial fabric, even after repeated washing. This study extends the practical application of EOs to antibacterial surfaces and fabrics, which is promising for use in personal care products and medical settings.

Abstract
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), a large class of chemicals that includes high production volume substances, have been used for decades as antimicrobials, preservatives, and antistatic agents and for other functions in cleaning, disinfecting, personal care products, and durable consumer goods. QAC use has accelerated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the banning of 19 antimicrobials from several personal care products by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2016. Studies conducted before and after the onset of the pandemic indicate increased human exposure to QACs. Environmental releases of these chemicals have also increased. Emerging information on adverse environmental and human health impacts of QACs is motivating a reconsideration of the risks and benefits across the life cycle of their production, use, and disposal. This work presents a critical review of the literature and scientific perspective developed by a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional team of authors from academia, governmental, and nonprofit organizations. The review evaluates currently available information on the ecological and human health profile of QACs and identifies multiple areas of potential concern. Adverse ecological effects include acute and chronic toxicity to susceptible aquatic organisms, with concentrations of some QACs approaching levels of concern. Suspected or known adverse health outcomes include dermal and respiratory effects, developmental and reproductive toxicity, disruption of metabolic function such as lipid homeostasis, and impairment of mitochondrial function. QACs' role in antimicrobial resistance has also been demonstrated. In the US regulatory system, how a QAC is managed depends on how it is used, for example in pesticides or personal care products. This can result in the same QACs receiving different degrees of scrutiny depending on the use and the agency regulating it. Further, the US Environmental Protection Agency's current method of grouping QACs based on structure, first proposed in 1988, is insufficient to address the wide range of QAC chemistries, potential toxicities, and exposure scenarios. Consequently, exposures to common mixtures of QACs and from multiple sources remain largely unassessed. Some restrictions on the use of QACs have been implemented in the US and elsewhere, primarily focused on personal care products. Assessing the risks posed by QACs is hampered by their vast structural diversity and a lack of quantitative data on exposure and toxicity for the majority of these compounds. This review identifies important data gaps and provides research and policy recommendations for preserving the utility of QAC chemistries while also seeking to limit adverse environmental and human health effects.

Abstract
In a previous development stage, mostly individual antibacterial activity was a target in the optimization of biologically active compounds and antiseptic agents. Although this targeting is still valuable, a new trend has appeared since the discovery of superhigh resistance of bacterial cells upon their aggregation into groups. Indeed, it is now well established that the great majority of pathogenic germs are found in the environment as surface-associated microbial communities called biofilms. The protective properties of biofilms and microbial resistance, even to high concentrations of biocides, cause many chronic infections in medical settings and lead to serious economic losses in various areas. A paradigm shift from individual bacterial targeting to also affecting more complex cellular frameworks is taking place and involves multiple strategies for combating biofilms with compounds that are effective at different stages of microbiome formation. Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) play a key role in many of these treatments and prophylactic techniques on the basis of both the use of individual antibacterial agents and combination technologies. In this review, we summarize the literature data on the effectiveness of using commercially available and newly synthesized QACs, as well as synergistic treatment techniques based on them. As an important focus, techniques for developing and applying antimicrobial coatings that prevent the formation of biofilms on various surfaces over time are discussed. The information analyzed in this review will be useful to researchers and engineers working in many fields, including the development of a new generation of applied materials; understanding biofilm surface growth; and conducting research in medical, pharmaceutical, and materials sciences. Although regular studies of antibacterial activity are still widely conducted, a promising new trend is also to evaluate antibiofilm activity in a comprehensive study in order to meet the current requirements for the development of highly needed practical applications.

Abstract
Microbial adhesion and contamination on shared surfaces can lead to life-threatening infections with serious impacts on public health, economy, and clinical practices. The traditional use of chemical disinfectants for sanitization of surfaces, however, comes with its share of health risks, such as hazardous effects on the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, carcinogenicity, as well as environmental toxicity. To address this, we have developed a nonleaching quaternary small molecule (QSM)-based sprayable coating which can be fabricated on a wide range of surfaces such as nylon, polyethylene, surgical mask, paper, acrylate, and rubber in a one-step, photocuring technique. This contact-active coating killed pathogenic bacteria and fungi including drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans within 15-30 min of contact. QSM coatings withstood multiple washes, highlighting their durability. Interestingly, the coated surfaces exhibited rapid killing of pathogens, leading to the prevention of their transmission upon contact. The coating showed membrane disruption of bacterial cells in fluorescence and electron microscopic investigations. Along with bacteria and fungi, QSM-coated surfaces also showed the complete killing of high loads of influenza (H1N1) and SARS-CoV-2 viruses within 30 min of exposure. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a coating for multipurpose materials applied in high-touch public places, hospital equipment, and clinical consumables, rapidly killing drug-resistant bacteria, fungi, influenza virus, and SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
![]()
Implant-associated infections arising from biofilm development
are known to have detrimental effects with compromised quality of
life for the patients, implying a progressing issue in healthcare.
It has been a struggle for more than 50 years for the biomaterials
field to achieve long-term success of medical implants by discouraging
bacterial and protein adhesion without adversely affecting the surrounding
tissue and cell functions. However, the rate of infections associated
with medical devices is continuously escalating because of the intricate
nature of bacterial biofilms, antibiotic resistance, and the lack
of ability of monofunctional antibacterial materials to prevent the
colonization of bacteria on the device surface. For this reason, many
current strategies are focused on the development of novel antibacterial
surfaces with dual antimicrobial functionality. These surfaces are
based on the combination of two components into one system that can
eradicate attached bacteria (antibiotics, peptides, nitric oxide,
ammonium salts, light, etc.) and also resist or release
adhesion of bacteria (hydrophilic polymers, zwitterionic, antiadhesive,
topography, bioinspired surfaces, etc.). This review
aims to outline the progress made in the field of biomedical engineering
and biomaterials for the development of multifunctional antibacterial
biomedical devices. Additionally, principles for material design and
fabrication are highlighted using characteristic examples, with a
special focus on combinational nitric oxide-releasing biomedical interfaces.
A brief perspective on future research directions for engineering
of dual-function antibacterial surfaces is also presented.

A surface sampling and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry method for the analysis of quaternary ammonium compounds collected from public transportation buses in New Jersey. EMERGING CONTAMINANTS 2022; 8:318-328. [PMID: 35791422 PMCID: PMC9247117 DOI: 10.1016/j.emcon.2022.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are a class of antimicrobial disinfectants whose use in cleaning products increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chemically, their low vapor pressure indicates a proclivity to persist on surfaces, and their presence suggests a level of protection against microorganisms. The widespread application of QACs in response to the SARS CoV-2 virus created a need to evaluate their longevity on surfaces, for both efficacy and possible health risks. There are however, no standardized analytical methods for QAC surface sampling and analysis, and no published studies quantifying their concentrations on mass transportation vehicles-a high occupancy, close-contact microenvironment documented to facilitate the spread the SARS CoV-2 virus. Here, we describe a robust liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for the analysis of QACs and simultaneous development of a direct surface sampling and extraction protocol. We demonstrate the applicability of the method through the analysis of surface samples collected from in-service public transportation buses. The rapid, sensitive LC-MS method included 8 target QACs quantified on a Q-Exactive HF Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer using an electrospray ionization source and Dionex UltiMate 3000 UHPLC system for analyte separation. QAC standard mixtures at concentrations between 0.1 ng mL-1 and 2000 ng mL-1 were analyzed, and chromatographic separation of all analytes was achieved in less than 10 min. All correlation coefficients were reported at r > 0.986, and LODs ranged from 0.007 to 2.103 ng mL-1 for all compounds, confirming the method's sensitivity. A previously reported surface sampling and extraction protocol was modified to further simplify the procedure and expand the number of target compounds. The new sampling protocol was optimized from 10 commercially available wipes and 4 solvent types by quantifying recovery from the surface. Band-Aid brand small gauze pads saturated with isopropanol had the highest recovery efficiencies, ranging from 61.5 to 102.9% across all analytes. To test the real-world applicability, wipe samples were collected from 4 in-circulation New Jersey Transit buses on 5 separate days over the course of a month to assess the occurrence and longevity of QACs on sanitized mass transportation vehicles. Concentrations of QACs were detected on every wipe sample taken, and at all sampled time points, confirming their persistence on hard surfaces. QACs have the potential to form polymers, and detection of the polymer might serve as a secondary indication of their effectiveness on surfaces. None of the polymers detected however, were unique to QACs from this study. The polymers detected were already present in the wipe and used as an internal standard to demonstrate the efficacy of extraction and analysis of polymeric QACs.

Design strategies for antiviral coatings and surfaces: A review ☆. APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE ADVANCES 2022; 8:100224.

Abstract
The routine disinfection and sanitization of surfaces, objects, and textiles has become a time-consuming but necessary task for managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, the excessive use of sanitizers and disinfectants promotes the development of antibiotic-resistant microbes. Moreover, that improper disinfection could lead to more virus transfer, which leads to more viral mutations. Recently developed antiviral surface coatings can reduce the reliance on traditional disinfectants. These surfaces remain actively antimicrobial between periods of active cleaning of the surfaces, allowing a much more limited and optimized use of disinfectants. The novel nature of these surfaces has led, however, to many inconsistencies within the rapidly growing literature. Here we provide tools to guide the design and development of antimicrobial and antiviral surfaces and coatings. We describe how engineers can best choose testing options and propose new avenues for antiviral testing. After defining testing protocols, we summarize potential inorganic and organic materials able to serve as antiviral surfaces and present their antiviral mechanisms. We discuss the main limitations to their application, including issues related to toxicity, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental concerns. We propose solutions to counter these limitations and highlight how the context of specific use of an antiviral surface must guide material selection. Finally, we discuss how the use of coatings that combine multiple antimicrobial mechanisms can avoid the development of antibiotic resistance and improve the antiviral properties of these surfaces.

Abstract
As modifiers for biomaterial surfaces, soft colloidal particles not only have good film-forming properties, but can also contribute to the function of the biomaterial via their chemical and biological properties. This general approach has proven effective for surface modification, but little is known about methods to control the properties of the colloidal particles to regulate film formation and biological function. In this work, we prepared poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels (ZQP) containing both a zwitterionic component (Z) to provide anti-fouling functionality, and a quaternary ammonium salt (Q) to give bactericidal functionality. Fine-tuning of the Z and Q contents allowed the preparation of microgels over a range of particle size, size distribution, charge, and film-forming capability. The films showed anti-adhesion and contact-killing properties versus Escherichia coli (E. Coli), depending on the chemical composition. They also showed excellent cytocompatibility relative to L929 cells. A variety of microgel-coated substrates (silicon wafer, PDMS, PU, PVC) showed long-term anti-bacterial activity and resistance to chemical and mechanical treatments. It is concluded that this approach allows the preparation of effective bactericidal, cytocompatible surfaces. The properties can be fine-tuned by regulation of the microgel composition, and the method is applicable universally, i.e., independent of substrate.

Abstract
The antibacterial activity of different antibiotic and metal-free thin polymer coatings was investigated. The films comprised quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) based on a vinyl benzyl chloride (VBC) building block. Two monomeric QAC of different alkyl chain lengths were prepared, and then polymerized by two different polymerization processes to apply them onto Ti surfaces. At first, the polymeric layer was generated directly on the surface by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). For comparison purposes, in a classical route a copolymerization of the QAC-containing monomers with a metal adhesion mediating phosphonate (VBPOH) monomers was carried out and the Ti surfaces were coated via drop coating. The different coatings were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) illustrating a thickness in the nanomolecular range. The cytocompatibility in vitro was confirmed by both live/dead and WST-1 assay. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by two different assays (CFU and BTG, resp.,), showing for both coating processes similar results to kill bacteria on contact. These antibacterial coatings present a simple method to protect metallic devices against microbial contamination.

Abstract
Although electrospun nanomaterials containing photoactive dyes currently compete with the present state of art antimicrobial materials, relatively few structure-activity relationships have been established to identify the role of carrier polymer and photosensitizer binding mode on the performance of the materials. In this study scaffolds composed of poly(vinyl alcohol), polyacrylonitrile, poly(caprolactone), and tailor-made phthalocyanine-based photosensitizers are developed utilizing electrospinning as a simple, time and cost-effective method. The photoinduced activity of nanofibrous materials was characterized in vitro against E. coli and B. subtilis as models for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria respectively, as well as against bacteriophages phi6 and MS2 as models for enveloped and non-enveloped viruses respectively. For the first time, we show how polymer-specific properties affect antifouling and antimicrobial activity of the nanofibrous material, indicating that the most promising way to increase efficiency is likely via methods that focus on increasing the number of short, but strong and reversible bacteria-surface interactions.

Abstract
Hydrogels with inherent antibacterial ability are a focus in soft tissue repair. Herein, a series of antibacterial hydrogels were fabricated by quaternized N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] methacrylamide (quaternized P(DMAPMA-DMA-DAA)) bearing copolymers with dithiodipropionic acid dihydrazide (DTDPH) as cross-linker. The hydrogels presented efficient self-healing capability as well as a pH and redox-triggered gel-sol-gel transition property that is based on the dynamic acylhydrazone bond and disulfide linkage. Furthermore, the hydrogels showed good antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, degradability, and sustained release ability. More importantly, the in vivo experiments demonstrated that the hydrogels loaded with mouse epidermal growth factor (mEGF) significantly accelerated wound closure by preventing bacterial infection and promoting cutaneous regeneration in the wound model. The antibacterial hydrogels with self-healing behavior hold great potential in wound treatment.

Abstract
Pathogenic biofilms formed on the surfaces of implantable medical devices and materials pose an urgent global healthcare problem. Although conventional antibacterial surfaces based on bacteria-repelling or bacteria-killing strategies can delay biofilm formation to some extent, they usually fail in long-term applications, and it remains challenging to eradicate recalcitrant biofilms once they are established and mature. From the viewpoint of microbiology, a promising strategy may be to target the middle stage of biofilm formation including the main biological processes involved in biofilm development. In this work, a dual-functional antibiofilm surface is developed based on copolymer brushes of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 3-(acrylamido)phenylboronic acid (APBA), with quercetin (Qe, a natural antibiofilm molecule) incorporated via acid-responsive boronate ester bonds. Due to the antifouling properties of the hydrophilic poly(HEMA) component, the resulting surface is able to suppress bacterial adhesion and aggregation in the early stages of contact. A few bacteria are eventually able to break through the protection of the anti-adhesion layer leading to bacterial colonization. In response to the resulting decrease in the pH of the microenvironment, the surface could then release Qe to interfere with the microbiological processes related to biofilm formation. Compared to bactericidal and anti-adhesive surfaces, this dual-functional surface showed significantly improved antibiofilm performance to prevent biofilm formation involving both Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus for up to 3 days. In addition, both the copolymer and Qe are negligibly cytotoxic, thereby avoiding possible harmful effects on adjacent normal cells and the risk of bacterial resistance. This dual-functional design approach addresses the different stages of biofilm formation, and (in accordance with the growth process of the biofilm) allows sequential activation of the functions without compromising the viability of adjacent normal cells. A simple and reliable solution may thus be provided to the problems associated with biofilms on surfaces in various biomedical applications.

Dual functional coatings with antifogging and antimicrobial performances for endoscope lens, via facile adsorption-cross-linking strategy. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 206:111933. [PMID: 34175741 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2021.111933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Surface fogging causes various inconvenience for human daily life, especially for clinic inspection and medical diagnosis, hence the surfaces with reliable antifogging performances have received tremendous interests. Herein, through a facile adsorption-cross-linking strategy, a dual functional coating with both excellent antifogging/frost-resisting properties and reliable antibacterial activity has been steadily integrated onto varied substrates. A series of copolymers poly(HEAA-co-QAC-co-BP) with UV-initiable BP groups are synthesized, and then are covalently fixed on the substrate surfaces via UV triggered cross-linking reaction. The hydrophilic HEAA units endow the surface with excellent antifogging performance, while the introduced QAC groups bring essential antibacterial activity. ZOI results prove that the antibacterial activity stems from the surface contact-killing of bacteria, without releasing any bactericidal agents. Moreover, the functional surface exhibits remarkable resistance toward non-specific protein adsorption as well as no obvious effect on the hemolysis. The coating with the unique merits of both antifogging and antibacterial properties could find broad applications in antifogging fields, in particular for medical diagnosis, health monitoring, etc.

Abstract
Bacterial biopolymers are naturally occurring materials comprising a wide range of molecules with diverse chemical structures that can be produced from renewable sources following the principles of the circular economy. Over the last decades, they have gained substantial interest in the biomedical field as drug nanocarriers, implantable material coatings, and tissue-regeneration scaffolds or membranes due to their inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability into nonhazardous disintegration products, and their mechanical properties, which are similar to those of human tissues. The present review focuses upon three technologically advanced bacterial biopolymers, namely, bacterial cellulose (BC), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and γ-polyglutamic acid (PGA), as models of different carbon-backbone structures (polysaccharides, polyesters, and polyamides) produced by bacteria that are suitable for biomedical applications in nanoscale systems. This selection models evidence of the wide versatility of microorganisms to generate biopolymers by diverse metabolic strategies. We highlight the suitability for applied sustainable bioprocesses for the production of BC, PHA, and PGA based on renewable carbon sources and the singularity of each process driven by bacterial machinery. The inherent properties of each polymer can be fine-tuned by means of chemical and biotechnological approaches, such as metabolic engineering and peptide functionalization, to further expand their structural diversity and their applicability as nanomaterials in biomedicine.

Abstract
Two synthetic approaches were explored for modification of the polyolefins polyethylene/polypropylene (PE/PP) to form contact-active nonwoven materials. In the first approach, polymer surfaces were activated by O2-free air-ozonolysis, and then the active agent (trimethoxysilyl) propyl-octadecyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride (C18-TSA) was covalently bound. In the second approach, the active agent was directly conjugated to the commercial 'finishing' that was then applied to the polymer. The chemical, physical and microscopic properties of the modified polymers were comprehensively studied, and their active site density was quantified by fluorescein sodium salt-cetyltrimethylammonium chloride reaction. The antimicrobial activity of the prepared nonwovens against Bacillus subtilis (Gram-positive) and Salmonella enterica (Gram-negative), and their stability at various pHs and temperatures were examined. The two approaches conferred antimicrobial properties to the modified polymers and demonstrated stable linkage of C18-TSA. However, the performance of the nonwovens formed by the first approach was superior. The study suggests two feasible and safe pathways for the modification of polyolefins to form contact-active nonwoven materials that can be further applied in various fields, such as hygiene products, medical fabrics, sanitizing wipes, and more.

Abstract
Agar/polyacrylamide/quaternary ammonium silane-based (A/P/QAS-based) composite films were developed for food and biomedical packaging applications. The structural, optical, and surface morphological properties of the A/P and A/P/QAS composites were characterized by various characterization techniques in terms of thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry analyses, mechanical and rheological properties. Results showed that the 5% gravimetric loss (57.8-139.1 °C), glass transition temperature (179-189.9 °C) and tensile strength (35.2-47.8 MPa) of the prepared composites increased with increasing polyacrylamide content. The contact angle and water barrier properties of the composites were considerably improved by the addition of QAS. To compare WVP values of the A/P/QAS composite with neat AP composite films it reduced nearly 46% (2.45 to 1.32 × 10-9 g/m2 Pas). The A/P/QAS composites showed excellent antimicrobial properties against five different organisms. The Staphylococcus aureus exhibited highest 25 mm for gel and 18.1 mm for film of A/P/QAS composites. All the composites exhibited shear-thinning behavior, and their viscosity increased with increasing polyacrylamide content. The storage moduli of the prepared hydrogel composites were in the range of 5000-10,600 Pa at 1 rad/s and increased continuously over the entire frequency range. The dynamic rheological properties of A/P and A/P/QAS composites indicated that the prepared composites had good mechanical strength. Biopolymer based A/P and A/P/QAS composite films are suitable for green composite packaging applications.

Abstract
Poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM) with 3rd and 5th generation was covalently grafted as the contact active biocidal agent on the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with the help of UV induced carbene chemistry (PAMAM-g-PET). The graft density and the surface roughness were controlled by turning UV irradiation time and the PAMAM generation. The PAMAM graft monolayer was characterized via the contact angle, XPS, nanoIR, SEM and AFM. The antibacterial ability of PAMAM-g-PET was evaluated ex-vivo with the help of laser scanning confocal microscope (CLSM), and the results indicated that the decorated PET was able to kill both S. aureus and E. coli in the aqueous environment. Increasing the surface graft concentration and using the dendrimer with higher generation enhanced the lethality towards the bacterial. The decorated film was still able to kill the contact bacterial strain when the cationic primary amine groups were shielded by acetyl chloride, however, the bacterial in the suspension was hardly affected in this case. The un-selectivity and instantaneity of carbene chemistry endowed this grafting strategy the potential to be extended to other organic substances.

Abstract
The overall expectation from an antimicrobial surface has been high considering the need for efficiency in preventing the attachment and growth of pathogenic microbes, durability, safety to both humans and environment as well as cost-effectiveness. To date, antimicrobial surface design has been mostly conducted liberally, without rigorous consideration of establishing robust structure-activity relationships for each design strategy or of the use intended for a specific antimicrobial material. However, the variability among the domain bacteria, which is the most diverse of all, alongside the highly dynamic nature of the bacteria-surface interface have taught us that the likelihood of finding universal antimicrobial surfaces is low. In this perspective we discuss some of the current hurdles faced by research in this promising field, emphasizing the relevance and complexity of probing the bacteria-surface interface, and explain why we feel it would greatly benefit from a more streamlined ad-hoc approach.

Abstract
Amphiphilic copolymers are recognized as important biomaterials and used as antibacterial agents due to their effective inhibition of bacterial growth. In current study, the amphiphilic copolymers of P(DMAEMA-co-MMA) were synthesized using free radical polymerization by varying the concentrations of hydrophilic monomer 2-dimethylamino ethylmethacrylate (DMAEMA) and hydrophobic monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) having PDI value of 1.65-1.93. The DMAEMA monomer, through ternary amine with antibacterial property optimized copolymers, P(DMAEMA-co-MMA), compositions to control biofilm adhesion. Antibacterial activity of synthesized copolymers was elucidated against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Gram-negative Escherchia coli (ATCC 8739) by disk diffusion method, and zones of inhibition were measured. The desired composition that was PDM1 copolymer had shown good zones of inhibition i.e., 19 ± 0.33 mm and 20 ± 0.33 mm for E. coli and S. aureus respectively. The PDM1 and PDM2 have exhibited significant control over bacterial biofilm adhesion as tested by six well plate method. SEM study of bacterial biofilm formation has illustrated that these copolymers act in a similar fashion like cationic biocide. These compositions viz. PDM1 and PDM2, may be useful in development of bioreactors, sensors, surgical equipment and drug delivery devices.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The rapid spread of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses can be extremely detrimental and can lead to seasonal epidemics or even pandemic situations. In addition, these microorganisms may bring about fouling of food and essential materials resulting in substantial economic losses. Typically, the microorganisms get transmitted by their attachment and growth on various household and high contact surfaces such as doors, switches, currency. To prevent the rapid spread of microorganisms, it is essential to understand the interaction between various microbes and surfaces which result in their attachment and growth. Such understanding is crucial in the development of antimicrobial surfaces. Here, we have reviewed different approaches to make antimicrobial surfaces and correlated surface properties with antimicrobial activities. This review concentrates on physical and chemical modification of the surfaces to modulate wettability, surface topography, and surface charge to inhibit microbial adhesion, growth, and proliferation. Based on these aspects, antimicrobial surfaces are classified into patterned surfaces, functionalized surfaces, superwettable surfaces, and smart surfaces. We have critically discussed the important findings from systems of developing antimicrobial surfaces along with the limitations of the current research and the gap that needs to be bridged before these approaches are put into practice.

Abstract
The amphiphilic cationic polymers that mimic antimicrobial peptides have received increasing attention due to their excellent antibacterial activity. However, the relationship between the structure of cationic polymers and its antibacterial effect remains unclear. In our current work, a series of PEG blocked amphiphilic cationic polymers composed of hydrophobic alkyl-modified and quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) moieties have been prepared. The structure-antibacterial activity relationship of these cationic polymers was investigated against E. coli and S. aureus, including PEGylation, random structure, molecular weights, and the content and lengths of the hydrophobic alkyl side chains. The results indicated that PEGylated random amphiphilic cationic copolymer (mPB35/T57) showed stronger antibacterial activity and better biocompatibility than the random copolymer without PEG (PB33/T56). Furthermore, mPB35/T57 with appropriate mole fraction of alkyl side chains (falkyl = 0.38), degree of polymerization (DP = 92), and four-carbon hydrophobic alkyl moieties was found to have the optimal structure that revealed the best antibacterial activities against both E. coli (MIC = 8 μg/mL, selectivity > 250) and S. aureus (MIC = 4 μg/mL, selectivity > 500). More importantly, mPB35/T57 could effectively eradicate E. coli biofilms by killing the bacteria embedded in the biofilms. Therefore, the structure of mPB35/T57 provided valuable information for improving the antibacterial activity of cationic polymers.

Abstract
Gellan gum-sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (GC)-based composite films with various concentrations of silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles and octadecyldimethyl-(3-triethoxy silylpropyl)ammonium chloride (ODDMAC) were successfully prepared by the traditional solution casting method to improve the antimicrobial and water repellent properties. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra confirm the formation of hydrogen bonds between the GC and nano-SiO2. The microstructure and physicochemical properties were investigated by FT-IR, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. The rheological properties of the GC-SiO2 hydrogel were also characterized. The results show that the inclusion of SiO2 nanoparticles significantly improved the viscosity and viscoelastic properties of the GC hydrogel. The GC-SiO2 hydrogel exhibited shear-thinning behavior and its viscosity decreased at high shear rates. The storage and loss moduli of the GC composites increased as the frequency and SiO2 concentration increased. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the GC composites increased by 75.9 and 62%, respectively, with the addition of SiO2 and ODDMAC. In addition, nano-SiO2 decreased the water vapor permeability and increased the hydrophobic properties of the GC-SiO2 composites. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the T 5% loss was in the range of 99.4-128.6 °C and the char yield was in the range of 20.1-29.9%, which was significantly enhanced by the incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles. The GC-SiO2 (ODDMAC) nanocomposites effectively shielded the UV light and exhibited high antimicrobial activity against six different pathogens. The simple and cost-effective GC-SiO2 (ODDMAC) nanocomposites gained importance in food packaging and biomedical applications.

New details of assembling bioactive films from dispersions of amphiphilic molecules on titania surfaces. RSC Adv 2020; 10:39854-39869. [PMID: 35558137 PMCID: PMC9088674 DOI: 10.1039/d0ra06511k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Accepted: 10/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Tailoring the surface properties of materials for biomedical applications is important to avoid clinical complications. Forming thin layers of amphiphilic molecules with apolar regions that facilitate attractive intermolecular interactions, can be a suitable and versatile approach to achieve hydrophobic surface modification and provide functional antibacterial properties. Aiming to correlate layer structure and properties starting from film formation, octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) and dimethyloctadecyl (3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) ammonium chloride (DMOAP) layers were adsorbed onto smooth titania surfaces. Then the films were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and their interactions with aqueous environments were characterized by contact angle and zeta potential measurements. In addition, antibacterial assays were performed using E. coli and S. mutants to reveal the antibacterial properties effected by the surface modification. Immediately after sputter deposition, titania was hydrophilic; however, after air storage and adsorption of DMOAP or ODPA, an increase in the water contact angle was observed. XPS investigations after layer formation and after antibacterial tests revealed that the attachment of layers assembled from ODPA on titania substrates is considerably stronger and more stable than that observed for DMOAP films. Heat treatment strongly affects DMOAP layers. Furthermore, DMOAP layers are not stable under biological conditions. Structure–property relationship of amphiphilic molecules on smooth substrates was explored through a multi-step approach and its influence on biological activity.![]()

Abstract
To enhance the advantage of a long-term stability and low-toxicity active packaging system, two biodegradable covalent immobilized antibacterial packaging films were developed and applied to fresh beef preservation in this study. A polylactic acid (PLA) film was prepared by the extrusion-casting method. The surface of the PLA film was modified with plasma treatment to generate carboxylic acid groups, and then antibacterial agent nisin or ε-poly lysine (ε-PL) was covalently attached to the modified film surface. Physical, chemical, and antimicrobial properties of films were then characterized. Scanning electron microscopy and water contact angle images confirmed that nisin or ε-PL was successfully grafted onto the film surface. The values of protein loading on the nisin-g-PLA film and ε-PL-g-PLA film were 5.34 ± 0.26 and 3.04 ± 0.25 μg of protein/cm2 on the surface. Microbial analysis indicated that the grafted films effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria. Finally, the effects of the nisin-g-PLA film or ε-PL-g-PLA film on physicochemical changes and microbiological counts of fresh beef during cold storage at 4 °C were investigated. The total viable count of the control sample exceeded 7 logarithms of the number of colony forming units per gram (log CFU/g) after 11 days of cold storage (7.01 ± 0.14 log CFU/g) versus 15 days for the ε-PL-g-PLA film (7.37 ± 0.06 log CFU/g) and the nisin-g-PLA film (6.83 ± 0.10 log CFU/g). The results showed that covalent immobilized antibacterial packaging films had positive impacts on the shelf life and quality of fresh beef. Therefore, a covalent immobilized antibacterial packaging system could be a novel preservative method for foods.

Abstract
Recently, the demand for the use of natural polymers in the cosmetic, biomedical, and sanitary sectors has been increasing. In order to meet specific functional properties of the products, usually, the incorporation of the active component is required. One of the main problems is enabling compatibility between hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. Therefore, surface modification is necessary. Poly(lactide) (PLA) is a natural polymer that has attracted a lot ofattention in recent years. It is bio-based, can be produced from carbohydrate sources like corn, and it is biodegradable. The main goal of this work was the functionalization of PLA, inserting antiseptic and anti-inflammatory nanostructured systems based on chitin nanofibrils-nanolignin complexes ready to be used in the biomedical, cosmetics, and sanitary sectors. The specific challenge of this investigation was to increase the interaction between the hydrophobic PLA matrix with hydrophilic chitin-lignin nanoparticle complexes. First, chemical modification via the "grafting from" method using lactide oligomers was performed. Then, active coatings with modified and unmodified chitin-lignin nanoparticle complexes were prepared and applied on extruded PLA-based sheets. The chemical, thermal, and mechanical characterization of prepared samples was carried out and the obtained results were discussed.

Abstract
By functionalizing the surface of PEG-liposomes with linkers bearing quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), we generated novel bacteria disruptors with anti-adhesive properties and reduced cytotoxicity compared to free QACs. Furthermore, QAC-functionalized liposomes are a promising platform for future drug encapsulation. The QAC (11-mercaptoundecyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (MTAB) was attached to maleimide-functionalized liposomes (DSPE-PEG) via thiol linker. The MTAB-functionalized liposomes were physicochemically characterized and their biological activity, in terms of anti-adherence activity and biofilm prevention in Escherichia coli were assessed. The results showed that MTAB-functionalized liposomes inhibit bacterial adherence and biofilm formation while reducing MTAB toxicity.

Abstract
Bacterial attachment and colonization to hygiene sensitive surfaces, both public and nosocomial, as well as in food industry areas, poses a serious problem to human healthcare. Several infection incidents are reported, while bacterial resistance to antibiotics is increasing. Recently, novel techniques for the design of antibacterial surfaces to limit bacterial spreading have emerged, including bifunctional antibacterial surfaces with antifouling and bactericidal action. In this context, we have recently developed smart, universal, metal-sputtered superhydrophobic surfaces, demonstrating both bacterial repulsion and killing efficacy. Herein, we present the optimization process that led to the realization of these “hybrid” antibacterial surfaces. To this end, two bactericidal agents, silver and copper, were tested for their efficiency against Gram-negative bacteria, with copper showing a stronger bactericidal action. In addition, between two low surface energy coatings, the fluorinated-alkyl self-assembled chlorosilane layer from perfluorinated octyltrichlorosilane (pFOTS) solution and the fluorocarbon layer from octafluorocyclobutane (C4F8) plasma were both approved for their anti-adhesive properties after immersion in bacterial solution. However, the latter was found to be more efficient when engrafted with the bactericidal agent in shielding its killing performance. Furthermore, the thickness of the plasma-deposited fluorocarbon layer was optimized, in order to simultaneously retain both the superhydrophobicity of the surface and its long-term bactericidal activity.

Abstract
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are a class of antimicrobials that have been around for over a century; nevertheless, they have found continued renewal in the structures to which they can be appended. Ranging from antimicrobial polymers to adding novel modes of action to existing antibiotics, QACs have found ongoing use due to their potent properties. However, resistance against QACs has begun to emerge, and the mechanism of resistance is still only partially understood. In this review, we aim to summarize the current state of the field and what is known about the mechanisms of resistance so that the QACs of the future can be designed to be evermore efficacious and utilized to unearth the remaining mysteries that surround bacteria's resistance to them.

Abstract
Intensification of pollution loading worldwide has promoted an escalation of different types of disease-causing microorganisms, such as harmful algal blooms (HABs), instigating detrimental impacts on the quality of receiving surface waters. Formation of unwanted disinfection by-products (DBPs) resulting from conventional disinfection technologies reveals the need for the development of new sustainable alternatives. Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QACs) are cationic surfactants widely known for their effective biocidal properties at the ppm level. In this study, a novel silica-based antimicrobial nanofilm was developed using a composite of silica-modified QAC (Fixed-Quat) and applied to a fiberglass mesh as an active surface via sol-gel technique. The synthesized Fixed-Quat nanocoating was found to be effective against E. coli with an inactivation rate of 1.3 × 10-3 log reduction/cm min. The Fixed-Quat coated fiberglass mesh also demonstrated successful control of Microcystis aeruginosa with more than 99% inactivation after 10 hr of exposure. The developed antimicrobial mesh was also evaluated with wild-type microalgal species collected in a water body experiencing HABs, obtaining a 97% removal efficiency. Overall, the silica-functionalized Fixed-Quat nanocoating showed promising antimicrobial properties for water disinfection and HABs control, while decreasing concerns related to DBPs formation and the possible release of toxic nanomaterials into the environment.

Abstract
In recent years, substantial advances have been achieved in the design and synthesis of nonviral gene vectors. However, lack of effective and biocompatible vectors still remains a major challenge that hinders their application in clinical settings. In the past decade, there has been a rapid expansion of cationic antimicrobial polymers, due to their potent, rapid, and broad-spectrum biocidal activity against resistant microbes, and biocompatible features. Given that antimicrobial polymers share common features with nonviral gene vectors in various aspects, such as membrane affinity, functional groups, physicochemical characteristics, and unique macromolecular architectures, these polymers may provide us with inspirations to overcome challenges in the design of novel vectors toward more safe and efficient gene delivery in clinic. Building off these observations, we provide here an overview of the structure-function relationships of polymers for both antimicrobial applications and gene delivery by elaborating some key structural parameters, including functional groups, charge density, hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance, MW, and macromolecular architectures. By borrowing a leaf from antimicrobial agents, great advancement in the development of newer nonviral gene vectors with high transfection efficiency and biocompatibility will be more promising. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The development of gene delivery is still in the preclinical stage for the lack of effective and biocompatible vectors. Given that antimicrobial polymers share common features with gene vectors in various aspects, such as membrane affinity, functional groups, physicochemical characteristics, and unique macromolecular architectures, these polymers may provide us with inspirations to overcome challenges in the design of novel vectors toward more safe and efficient gene delivery in clinic. In this review, we systematically summarized the structure-function relationships of antimicrobial polymers and gene vectors, with which the design of more advanced nonviral gene vectors is anticipated to be further boosted in the future.

Abstract
Active packaging can enhance the performance of natural antimicrobials in controlling food spoilage and waste, while addressing consumer demands for cleaner labels. Yet, synergies are system dependent, with some conditions counterintuitively promoting antagonistic effects. In particular, metal chelators can improve performance of certain natural antimicrobials and have been incorporated in nonmigratory metal chelating active packaging technologies. However, the influence of chelating ligand chemistry on antimicrobial efficacy has not been investigated in microbial spoilage models. The effect of three commercial chelating resins on the growth of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris ATCC 49025, a thermoduric acidophilic spore-former, in growth media and apple juice was investigated. Dowex MAC-3, Chelex 100, and Lewatit TP260 were used as models for metal chelating active packaging containing carboxylic acid (CA), iminodiacetic acid (IDA), and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) ligands. Diameters (CA = 472.4 ± 117.2 μm, IDA = 132.93 ± 26.71 μm, and AMPA = 498.3 ± 29.24 μm), dissociation kinetics (CA = 6.44 ± 0.109, IDA = -0.977 ± 9.94, AMPA = 7.43 ± 0.193), and metal chelating capacities (CA = 1.16 × 10-4 mol/g, IDA = 1.52 × 10-3 mol/g, and AMPA = 4.67 × 10-4 mol/g) were used to distinguish differences in antimicrobial efficacies. Growth of A. acidoterrestris in acidified Potato Dextrose Broth over 24 hr with chelating resins indicated early death phase for CA and IDA resins and bactericidal for AMPA resin. However, viability in commercial apple juice with the inclusion of nisin and chelating resins was variable, with IDA resin significantly (P < 0.05) increasing viability while the effect of CA and AMPA resins remained elusive. This work emphasizes the importance of biological repeatability and correct statistical modeling in identifying conditions under which the antimicrobial intervention of nisin in real food systems, such as acidic beverages and juices, are synergistic or antagonistic. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: New technologies to control microbial food spoilage and waste need to be explored to address consumers on-going demands for reducing additive use. Solid support bound metal chelators can both promote and control microbial growth when used in conjunction with nisin, a natural antimicrobial. This work explores how system conditions can render a given technology either synergistic or antagonistic, and highlights the importance of sufficient biological replicates in experimental design.
