TiO 2 Nanocomposite Coatings and Inactivation of Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella Pneumoniae Biofilm-Opportunities and Challenges. Microorganisms 2024; 12:684. [PMID: 38674628 PMCID: PMC11051735 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12040684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The worldwide increase of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria is a global threat. The emergence and global spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase- (KPC-) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae represent a particular concern. This pathogen has increased resistance and abilities to persist in human reservoirs, in hospital environments, on medical devices, and to generate biofilms. Mortality related to this microorganism is high among immunosuppressed oncological patients and those with multiple hospitalizations and an extended stay in intensive care. There is a severe threat posed by the ability of biofilms to grow and resist antibiotics. Various nanotechnology-based strategies have been studied and developed to prevent and combat serious health problems caused by biofilm infections. The aim of this review was to evaluate the implications of nanotechnology in eradicating biofilms with KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, one of the bacteria most frequently associated with nosocomial infections in intensive care units, including in our department, and to highlight studies presenting the potential applicability of TiO2 nanocomposite materials in hospital practice. We also described the frequency of the presence of bacterial biofilms on medical surfaces, devices, and equipment. TiO2 nanocomposite coatings are one of the best long-term options for antimicrobial efficacy due to their biocompatibility, stability, corrosion resistance, and low cost; they find their applicability in hospital practice due to their critical antimicrobial role for surfaces and orthopedic and dental implants. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has recently classified titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) as possibly carcinogenic. Currently, there is an interest in the ecological, non-toxic synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles via biological methods. Biogenic, non-toxic nanoparticles have remarkable properties due to their biocompatibility, stability, and size. Few studies have mentioned the use of nanoparticle-coated surfaces as antibiofilm agents. A literature review was performed to identify publications related to KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms and antimicrobial TiO2 photocatalytic nanocomposite coatings. There are few reviews on the antibacterial and antibiofilm applications of TiO2 photocatalytic nanocomposite coatings. TiO2 nanoparticles demonstrated marked antibiofilm activity, but being nano in size, these nanoparticles can penetrate cell membranes and may initiate cellular toxicity and genotoxicity. Biogenic TiO2 nanoparticles obtained via green, ecological technology have less applicability but are actively investigated.

Abstract
Here, conjugate of nano-graphene oxide (GO) and titanium dioxide nanoparticle (nTiO2) was proposed for the photocatalytic degradation of two toxic azo dyes, Congo red (CR) and Methylene blue (MB), under sunlight irradiation. Furthermore, the optimized weight ratio between GO and nTiO2 of 1:5 demonstrated the highest degradation efficiency. The nanoconjugate induced 85% degradation of 40 ppm of CR in 60 min and a complete degradation within 70 min, while it degraded more than 90% of 20 ppm of MB in 80 min. The photocatalyst can be reused for five cycles of photocatalysis. Thus, the photocatalytic potential of GO/nTiO2 under visible light may be used as a very suitable and cost-effective photocatalyst industrially for the removal of toxic dyes from water.

Abstract
Titania nanoparticle/CdSe quantum dot hybrid structures are a promising bactericidal coating that exhibits a pronounced effect against light-sensitive bacteria. Here, we report the results of a comprehensive study of the photophysical properties and bactericidal functionality of these hybrid structures on various bacterial strains. We found that our structures provide the efficient generation of superoxide anions under the action of visible light due to electron transfer from QDs to titania nanoparticles with ~60% efficiency. We also tested the antibacterial activity of hybrid structures on five strains of bacteria. The formed structures combined with visible light irradiation effectively inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Mycobacterium smegmatis bacteria, the last of which is a photosensitive causative agent model of tuberculosis.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), for its unique structure with high biocompatibility and designability, is widely used in the antibacterial field. Various strategies have been designed to fabricate GO-based composites with antibacterial properties. This review summarized these strategies, divided them into three types and interpreted their antibacterial mechanisms: (i) "GO*/non-GO" type in which GO acts as the single antibacterial core, (ii) "GO*/non-GO*" type in which GO and non-GO components function synergistically as dual antibacterial cores, (iii) "GO/non-GO*" type in which non-GO acts as the single antibacterial core, while GO component plays a supportive, not a dominant role in antibiosis. Besides, the fields suiting their applications and factors influencing their antibacterial properties were analyzed. Finally, the limitations and prospects in the current researches were discussed. In summary, GO-based composites have revolutionized antibacterial strategies. This review may serve as a reference to inspire further research on GO-based antibacterial composites.

Abstract
The development of an automatic method of identifying microplastic particles within live cells and organisms is crucial for high-throughput analysis of their biodistribution in toxicity studies. State-of-the-art technique in the data analysis tasks is the application of deep learning algorithms. Here, we propose the approach of polystyrene microparticle classification differing only in pigmentation using enhanced dark-field microscopy and a residual neural network (ResNet). The dataset consisting of 11,528 particle images has been collected to train and evaluate the neural network model. Human skin fibroblasts treated with microplastics were used as a model to study the ability of ResNet for classifying particles in a realistic biological experiment. As a result, the accuracy of the obtained classification algorithm achieved up to 93% in cell samples, indicating that the technique proposed will be a potent alternative to time-consuming spectral-based methods in microplastic toxicity research.

Abstract
Photocatalysis and membrane technology in a single unit is an ideal strategy for the development of wastewater treatment systems. In this work, novel GO (x wt%)/TiO2-CA hybrid membranes have been synthesized via a facile non-solvent induced phase inversion technique. The strategy aimed to address the following dilemmas: (1) Effective utilization of visible light and minimize e-/h+ recombination; (2) Enhanced separation capability and superior anti-fouling and self-cleaning ability. The experimental results reveal that the integration of nano-composite (GO/TiO2) boosts the membrane properties when compared to pristine CA and single photocatalyst employed membrane (GO-CA and TiO2-CA). The effect of GO content on the properties of the photocatalytic membrane has been determined by utilizing three different ratios of GO, viz. 0.5 wt%, 1 wt%, and 2 wt% designated as NC(1)-CA, NC(2)-CA, and NC(3)-CA, respectively. Amongst them, NC(3)-CA membrane showed state-of-the-art performance with an elevated photocatalytic response (four times higher than pristine CA membrane) toward methyl orange. Moreover, the water flux of NC(3)-CA membrane is 613 L/m2h, approximately three times higher than bare CA membrane (297 L/m2h), while keeping the MO rejection high (96.6%). Besides, fouling experiments presented the lowest total and fouling resistance ratios and a higher flux recovery ratio (91.78%) for the NC(3)-CA membrane, which endows the membrane with higher anti-fouling and self-cleaning properties. Thus, NC(3)-CA membrane outperforms the other as synthesized membranes in terms of separation efficiency, visible light photo-degradation of pollutant, anti-fouling and self-cleaning ability. Therefore, NC(3)-CA membrane is considered as the next generation membrane for exhibiting great potential for the wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
We successfully fabricated the hydrogenated TiO2 nanotubes/Ti foil (H-TNTs/f-Ti) composite via one-step anodization and two-step annealing. H-TNTs/f-Ti composite had a higher visible light-induced photoelectric response and more hydroxyl functional groups compared with Ti foil and unmodified TiO2 nanotubes/Ti foil composite, which contributed to limiting the proliferation of Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, promoting the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cell on the hydroxylated surface, and improving the biocompatibility with osteogenic cells. Our study provides a simple and effective method for significantly improving dental implant efficacy.

Abstract
Nanostructures of titanium dioxide, polyaniline, halloysite, and carbon nanotubes have an excellent effect to improve environmental protection and surface properties of coatings like anticorrosion and self-cleaning attributes. In this research, we studied the individual effect of adding each nanostructure within the polyurethane matrix and also all nanostructure combinations with each other on the mentioned properties. To reach this aim, the polyurethane nanocomposites were prepared; then, anticorrosion and self-cleaning tests were carried out on the samples. FTIR spectroscopy and FESEM images were used to characterize the nanocomposite additives and coating influence. According to the obtained results, the polyurethane coating modified with titanium dioxide/polyaniline/halloysite nanotube/carbon nanotube nanocomposite showed very higher corrosion potential and resistance and lower corrosion current in the comparison with other coatings. Also, the mentioned polyurethane nanocomposite coating showed good hydrophilicity and it decolorized a dye contaminant with high efficiency which makes them appropriate candidate for the protection of the substrate against environmental destructive factors.

Abstract
A TiO2/GO/CuFe2O4 heterostructure photocatalyst is fabricated by a simple and low-cost ball-milling pathway for enhancing the photocatalytic degradation of chlorinated pesticides under UV light irradiation. Based on the advantages of graphene oxide, TiO2, and CuFe2O4, the nanocomposite exhibited visible light absorption, magnetic properties, and adsorption capacity. Integrated analyses using XRD, SEM, TEM, and UV-visible techniques demonstrated that the nanocomposite exhibited a well-defined crystalline phase, sizes of 10–15 nm, and evincing a visible light absorption feature with an optical bandgap energy of 2.4 eV. The photocatalytic degradations of 17 different chlorinated pesticides (persistent organic pollutants) were assayed using the prepared photocatalyst. The photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite generated almost 96.5% photocatalytic removal efficiency of typical pesticide DDE from water under UV irradiation. The superior photocatalytic performance was exhibited by the TiO2/GO/CuFeO4 catalyst owing to its high adsorption performance and separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers. The photocatalyst was examined in 5 cycles for treating uncolored pesticides with purposeful separation using an external magnetic field. A TiO2/GO/CuFe2O4 heterostructure photocatalyst is fabricated by a simple and low cost ball milling pathway for enhancing the photocatalytic degradation of chlorinated pesticides under UV light irradiation.![]()

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used in fields of materials science, tissue engineering, biomedicine, energy and environmental science, and analytical science due to its simple preparation, low-cost, and high biocompatibility. To overcome the weak mechanical properties of pure HA, various reinforcing materials were incorporated with HA to form high-performance composite materials. Due to the unique structural, biological, electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical properties, graphene has exhibited great potentials for supporting the biomimetic synthesis of HA. In this review, we present recent advance in the biomimetic synthesis of HA on graphene supports for biomedical applications. More focuses on the biomimetic synthesis methods of HA and HA on graphene supports, as well as the biomedical applications of biomimetic graphene-HA nanohybrids in drug delivery, cell growth, bone regeneration, biosensors, and antibacterial test are performed. We believe that this review is state-of-the-art, and it will be valuable for readers to understand the biomimetic synthesis mechanisms of HA and other bioactive minerals, at the same time it can inspire the design and synthesis of graphene-based novel nanomaterials for advanced applications.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2019; 247:214-223. [PMID: 31247368 PMCID: PMC7085116 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.06.077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2018] [Revised: 05/30/2019] [Accepted: 06/15/2019] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Some nanomaterials including Fe0, Ag0, and ZnO are well known for their antibacterial effects. However, very few studies have examined antibacterial effects of nanohybrids. Given that metal oxides, mainly ZnO and TiO2, are known to increase mobility, surface area, and photocatalysis when combined with carbon-based nanomaterials, ZnO- and TiO2-conjugated carbon nanotube and graphene oxide nanohybrids were investigated for their antibacterial effects on Escherichia coli (DH5α, a multidrug-resistant coliform bacterium). Graphene-oxide (GO)-based nanohybrids (ZnO-GO and TiO2-GO) induced increased dispersion compared to carbon-nanotube (CNT)-based nanohybrids (ZnO-CNT and TiO2-CNT). Among the four types of nanohybrids, ZnO-conjugated nanohybrids exhibited a higher antibacterial property, resulting in the antibacterial effect (measured with growth inhibition of cells) in the order ZnO-GO > ZnO-CNT > TiO2-GO > TiO2-CNT. Among four possible antibacterial mechanisms (generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), physicochemical characteristics, the steric effect, and release of metal ions), a primary mechanism-ROS generation-was identified; whereas, physicochemical characteristics and the steric effect were part of contributing mechanisms. The increasing dispersion of TiO2/ZnO on GO may have contributed to the antibacterial effects due to increasing surface areas. Similarly, significant damages to E. coli cell membranes were found by the GO sheet with its sharp edges. Our results suggest that applying GO-based ZnO or TiO2 could be an effective antibacterial method, especially for the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria in the water.

Abstract
Infectious diarrhea caused by the food borne pathogen, Campylobacter jejuni, is a major threat to public health worldwide leads high incidence of child mortality each year. In the present study, hydrothermal synthesis of Silver-Graphene-TiO2 nanocomposites along with TiO2, TiO2-Graphene and TiO2-silver nanocomposites was done and the samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), tunneling electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-Vis Spectroscopy. Effect of silver and graphene addition on the broad spectrum antibacterial ability of TiO2 was studied under visible light. Moreover, the effects on bacterial survival, membrane integrity, cellular motiltiy and biofilm formation of C. jejuni were also evaluated. A synergetic effect of silver and graphene on Silver-Graphene-TiO2 nanocomposites was observed as indicated by its increased visible light sensitivity and enhanced antibacterial activity under visible light compared to its parent derivatives. Silver-Graphene-TiO2 composites effectively reduced growth and caused leakage of protein and DNA from C. jejuni cell. Atomic Force Microscopy was used to confirm bacterial cell damage. Besides, it also reduced motillity, hydrophobicity and autoaggregation of C. jejuni and showed excellent inhibition of biofilm formation. Furthermore, no significant cytotoxicity of synthesized nanoparticles was observed in human cell lines. We propose that Silver-Graphene-TiO2 composites can be used as effective antimicrobial agents to control the spread of C. jejuni by preventing both bacterial growth and biofilm formation.

Abstract
The use of titanium dioxide, TiO2 as a photocatalyst in water decontamination has witnessed continuous interest due to its efficiency, stability, low toxicity and cost-effectiveness. TiO2 use is limited by its large band gap energy leading to light absorbance in the UV region of the spectrum, and by the relatively fast rate of recombination of photogenerated electrons and positive holes. Both limitations can be mitigated by using carbon-TiO2 nanocomposites, such as those based on graphene (G) and graphene oxide (GO). Relative to bare TiO2, these nanocomposites have improved photocatalytic activity and stability under the UV–visible light, constituting a promising way forward for improved TiO2 photocatalytic performance. This review focuses on the recent developments in the chemistry of TiO2/G and TiO2/GO nanocomposites. It addresses the mechanistic fundamentals, briefly, of TiO2 and TiO2/G and TiO2/GO photocatalysts, the various synthesis strategies for preparing TiO2/G and TiO2/GO nanocomposites, and the different characterization techniques used to study TiO2/G and TiO2/GO nanocomposites. Some applications of the use of TiO2/G and TiO2/GO nanocomposites in water decontamination are included.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to develop a novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterial from agricultural biomass waste for environmental applications. The sugarcane bagasse (SB) supported TiO2 hybrids were firstly synthesized via a sol-gel method. A series of characterizations were carried out to reveal the structures and components of obtained hybrids. Due to organic-inorganic hybrid (OIH) effect and element doping, the SB-TiO2 hybrid can expand its optical absorbance ranging from ultraviolet to visible light. The optimal hybrid catalyst prepared with SB doping amount of 2g in 100mL titanic gel and calcined at 200°C was able to degradate 95.0% methyl orange (MO) in 5h under visible light. This study will pave a new and facile pathway for novel visible light driven photocatalysts based on TiO2 modified by agricultural biomass waste.
