Abstract
The escalating rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) coupled with a declining arsenal of new antibiotics is imposing serious threats to global public health. A pervasive aspect of many acquired AMR infections is that the pathogenic microorganisms exist as biofilms, which are equipped with superior survival strategies. In addition, persistent and recalcitrant infections are seeded with bacterial persister cells at infection sites. Together, conventional antibiotic therapeutics often fail in the complete treatment of infections associated with bacterial persisters and biofilms. Novel therapeutics have been attempted to tackle AMR, biofilms, and persister-associated complex infections. This review focuses on the progress in designing molecular biomaterials and therapeutics to address acquired and intrinsic AMR, and the fundamental microbiology behind biofilms and persisters. Starting with a brief introduction of AMR basics and approaches to tackling acquired AMR, the emphasis is placed on various biomaterial approaches to combating intrinsic AMR, including (1) semi-synthetic antibiotics; (2) macromolecular or polymeric biomaterials mimicking antimicrobial peptides; (3) adjuvant effects in synergy; (4) nano-therapeutics; (5) nitric oxide-releasing antimicrobials; (6) antimicrobial hydrogels; (7) antimicrobial coatings. Particularly, the structure-activity relationship is elucidated in each category of these biomaterials. Finally, illuminating perspectives are provided for the future design of molecular biomaterials to bypass AMR and cure chronic multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections.

Abstract
Among multiple approaches to combating antimicrobial resistance, a combination therapy of existing antibiotics with bacterial membrane-perturbing agents is promising. A viable platform of metallopolymers as adjuvants in combination with traditional antibiotics is reported in this work to combat both planktonic and stationary cells of Gram-negative superbugs and their biofilms. Antibacterial efficacy, toxicity, antibiofilm activity, bacterial resistance propensity, and mechanisms of action of metallopolymer-antibiotic combinations are investigated. These metallopolymers exhibit 4-16-fold potentiation of antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria with negligible toxicity toward mammalian cells. More importantly, the lead combinations (polymer-ceftazidime and polymer-rifampicin) eradicate preformed biofilms of MDR E. coli and P. aeruginosa, respectively. Further, β-lactamase inhibition, outer membrane permeabilization, and membrane depolarization demonstrate synergy of these adjuvants with different antibiotics. Moreover, the membrane-active metallopolymers enable the antibiotics to circumvent bacterial resistance development. Altogether, the results indicate that such non-antibiotic adjuvants bear the promise to revitalize the efficacy of existing antibiotics to tackle Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Abstract
The overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of a large number of antibiotic-resistant genes in bacteria, and increasing evidence indicates that a fungicide with an antibacterial mechanism different from that of antibiotics is needed. Quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) are a biparental substance with good antibacterial properties that kills bacteria through simple electrostatic adsorption and insertion into cell membranes/altering of cell membrane permeability. Therefore, the probability of bacteria developing drug resistance is greatly reduced. In this review, we focus on the synthesis and application of single-chain QASs, double-chain QASs, heterocyclic QASs, and gemini QASs (GQASs). Some possible structure-function relationships of QASs are also summarized. As such, we hope this review will provide insight for researchers to explore more applications of QASs in the field of antimicrobials with the aim of developing systems for clinical applications.

Abstract
As the development of new antibiotics lags far behind the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, alternative strategies to resolve this dilemma are urgently required. Antibody-drug conjugate is a promising therapeutic platform to delivering cytotoxic payloads precisely to target cells for efficient disease treatment. Antibody-antimicrobial conjugates (AACs) have recently attracted considerable interest from researchers as they can target bacteria in the target sites and improve the effectiveness of drugs (i.e., reduced drug dosage and adverse effects), abating the upsurge of antimicrobial resistance. In this review, the selection and progress of three essential blocks that compose the AACs: antibodies, antimicrobial payloads, and linkers are discussed. The commonly used conjugation strategies and the latest applications of AACs in recent years are also summarized. The challenges and opportunities of this booming technology are also discussed at the end of this review.

Abstract
Compared with single-network hydrogels, double-network hydrogels offer higher mechanical strength and toughness. Integrating useful functions into double-network hydrogels can expand the portfolios of the hydrogels. We report the preparation of double-network metallopolymer hydrogels with remarkable hydration, antifouling, and antimicrobial properties. These cationic hydrogels are composed of a first network of cationic cobaltocenium polyelectrolytes and a second network of polyacrylamide, all prepared via radical polymerization. Antibiotics were further installed into the hydrogels via ion-complexation with metal cations. These hydrogels exhibited significantly enhanced hydration, compared with polyacrylamide-based hydrogels, while featuring robust mechanical strength. Cationic metallopolymer hydrogels exhibited strong antifouling against oppositely charged proteins. These antibiotic-loaded hydrogels demonstrated a synergistic effect on the inhibition of bacterial growth and antifouling of bacteria, as a result of the unique ion complexation of cobaltocenium cations.

Abstract
Low-k dielectrics are urgently needed in modern integrated circuits. The introduction of free volume instead of porous structures has become a powerful strategy to reduce the k value. According to this strategy, the biomass resource rosin-containing hydrogenated phenanthrene ring was introduced into benzocyclobutene (BCB) resin to reduce the k value; then a rosin-based BCB monomer was successfully synthesized. Meanwhile, the BCB monomer without a rosin skeleton was prepared. After converting the monomers into thermo-crosslinked materials, notably that the rosin skeleton has a great influence on the free volume and k value of the material. The fractional free volume and k value of the former are 26% and 2.44, respectively, and those of the latter are 14% and 2.84, respectively. In addition, the distances between molecular chains and the density of the former are 0.60 nm and 1.06 g cm-3, respectively; those of the latter are 0.56 nm and 1.28 g cm-3, respectively. These data show that introducing hydrogenated phenanthrene rings occupies part of the space and hinders the packing of molecular chains, which increases the distance between molecular chains and reduces the density of the polymer, resulting in an increasing free volume and a reducing k value. Notably that introducing hydrogenated phenanthrene rings cannot affect other properties of the material. Therefore, this research indicates that introducing rosin skeletons can prepare high-performance materials, which provide some promising low-k materials for the development of electronics and microelectronics.

Abstract
Recent reports provide evidence that contaminated healthcare environments represent major sources for the acquisition and transmission of pathogens. Antimicrobial coatings (AMC) may permanently and autonomously reduce the contamination of such environmental surfaces complementing standard hygiene procedures. This review provides an overview of the current status of AMC and the demands to enable a rational application of AMC in health care settings. Firstly, a suitable laboratory test norm is required that adequately quantifies the efficacy of AMC. In particular, the frequently used wet testing (e.g. ISO 22196) must be replaced by testing under realistic, dry surface conditions. Secondly, field studies should be mandatory to provide evidence for antimicrobial efficacy under real-life conditions. The antimicrobial efficacy should be correlated to the rate of nosocomial transmission at least. Thirdly, the respective AMC technology should not add additional bacterial resistance development induced by the biocidal agents and co- or cross-resistance with antibiotic substances. Lastly, the biocidal substances used in AMC should be safe for humans and the environment. These measures should help to achieve a broader acceptance for AMC in healthcare settings and beyond. Technologies like the photodynamic approach already fulfil most of these AMC requirements.

Abstract
Dual-function antibacterial surfaces have exhibited promising potential in addressing implant-associated infections. However, both bactericidal and antifouling properties need to be further improved prior to practical uses. Herein, we report the preparation and properties of a linear block copolymer coating (LP-KF) and a single-chain nanoparticle coating (NP-KF) with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and cationic polypeptide segments. NP-KF with cyclic PEG segments and densely charged polypeptide segments was expected to display improved bactericidal and antifouling properties. LP-KF was prepared by the combination of ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) monomers and subsequent deprotection. NP-KF was prepared by intramolecular cross-linking of LP-KF in diluted solutions. Both LP-KF- and NP-KF-coated PDMS surfaces were prepared by dipping with polydopamine-coated surfaces. They showed superior in vitro bactericidal activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with >99.9% killing efficacy, excellent protein adsorption resistance, antibacterial adhesion, and low cytotoxicity. The NP-KF coating showed higher bactericidal activity and antifouling properties than its linear counterpart. It also showed significant anti-infective property and histocompatibility in vivo, which makes it a good candidate for implants and biomedical device applications.

Abstract
Excessive growth of tumor within biliary wall and formation of biofilm on inner surface of stent can cause restenosis or even obstruction after stent implantation. Therefore, it is important and valuable to develop a new biliary stent for anti-cholangiocarcinoma and anti-biofilm formation. Herein, we designed, prepared and primarily evaluated a new trilayered film for biliary stents consisting of one poly (lactic acid) (PLA) layer loaded with anti-tumor paclitaxel (PTX layer), one middle PLA isolation layer (isolation layer) and one PLA layer loaded with antimicrobial ofloxacin (OFLX layer). It is postulated that the PTX layer releases drug towards biliary wall with tumor, the OFLX layer releases drug towards lumen of bile duct and the isolation layer is used to separate from the PTX layer and the OFLX layer and facilitate drug release in unidirectional way. The prepared trilayered films were characterized in terms of morphology, microstructure, crystallinity and biodegradability. It was found that the films could effectively tune drug release by addition of different amounts of drug or PEG, release PTX and OFLX in opposite directions, effectively inhibit the proliferation of human cholangiocarcinoma RBE cells, the adherence of E. coli and S. aureus and the formation of biofilm in vitro. It is potential that the trilayered films can be used to fabricate a new biliary stent with a dual function of anti-cholangiocarcinoma and anti-biofilm formation.

Biomaterials for human space exploration: A review of their untapped potential. Acta Biomater 2021; 128:77-99. [PMID: 33962071 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.04.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
As biomaterial advances make headway into lightweight radiation protection, wound healing dressings, and microbe resistant surfaces, a relevance to human space exploration manifests itself. To address the needs of the human in space, a knowledge of the space environment becomes necessary. Both an understanding of the environment itself and an understanding of the physiological adaptations to that environment must inform design parameters. The space environment permits the fabrication of novel biomaterials that cannot be produced on Earth, but benefit Earth. Similarly, designing a biomaterial to address a space-based challenge may lead to novel biomaterials that will ultimately benefit Earth. This review describes several persistent challenges to human space exploration, a variety of biomaterials that might mitigate those challenges, and considers a special category of space biomaterial. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This work is a review of the major human and environmental challenges facing human spaceflight, and where biomaterials may mitigate some of those challenges. The work is significant because a broad range of biomaterials are applicable to the human space program, but the overlap is not widely known amongst biomaterials researchers who are unfamiliar with the challenges to human spaceflight. Additionaly, there are adaptations to microgravity that mimic the pathology of certain disease states ("terrestrial analogs") where treatments that help the overwhelmingly healthy astronauts can be applied to help those with the desease. Advances in space technology have furthered the technology in that field on Earth. By outlining ways that biomaterials can promote human space exploration, space-driven advances in biomaterials will further biomaterials technology.

Abstract
Repairing tooth defects with dental resin composites is currently the most commonly used method due to their tooth-colored esthetics and photocuring properties. However, the higher than desirable failure rate and moderate service life are the biggest challenges the composites currently face. Secondary caries is one of the most common reasons leading to repair failure. Therefore, many attempts have been carried out on the development of a new generation of antimicrobial and therapeutic dental polymer composite materials to inhibit dental caries and prolong the lifespan of restorations. These new antimicrobial materials can inhibit the formation of biofilms, reduce acid production from bacteria and the occurrence of secondary caries. These results are encouraging and open the doors to future clinical studies on the therapeutic value of antimicrobial dental resin-based restoratives. However, antimicrobial resins still face challenges such as biocompatibility, drug resistance and uncontrolled release of antimicrobial agents. In the future, we should focus on the development of more efficient, durable and smart antimicrobial dental resins. This article focuses on the most recent 5 years of research, reviews the current antimicrobial strategies of composite resins, and introduces representative antimicrobial agents and their antimicrobial mechanisms.

Abstract
Antimicrobial materials are tools used to reduce the transmission of infectious microorganisms. Photo-illuminated titania (TiO2) is a known antimicrobial material. Used as a coating on door handles and similar surfaces, it may reduce viability and colonization by pathogens and limit their spread. We tested the survival of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae on a nano-structured TiO2-based thin film, called 'NsARC', and on stainless steel under a variety of light wavelengths and intensities. There was significantly less survival (P <0.001) of all the organisms tested on NsARC compared to inert uncoated stainless steel under all conditions. NsARC was active in the dark and possible mechanisms for this are suggested. NsARC inhibited biofilm formation as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. These results suggest that NsARC can be used as a self-cleaning and self-sterilizing antimicrobial surface coating for the prevention and reduction in the spread of potentially infectious microbes.

Abstract
Bacterial adhesion infection caused by medical materials in clinical application has become a serious threat, and it urgently needs new strategies to deal with these clinical challenges. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of surface-decorated aryl (β-amino) ethyl ketones (AAEK), a promising sorting enzyme A (SrtA) inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus, to improve the anti-adhesion ability of biomaterials. AAEK was covalently grafted onto cellulose films (CF) via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition click reaction. The data of contact angle measurements, ATR-FTIR and XPS proved the successful covalent attachment of AAEK-CF, and the antimicrobial efficacy of AAEK coating was assessed by CFUs, crystal violet staining, scanning electron microscopy and Living/Dead bacteria staining assay. The results illustrated that AAEK-CF exhibited excellent anti-adhesion ability to Staphylococcus aureus, and significantly reduced the number of bacteria adhering to the film. More importantly, AAEK-CF could hinder the formation of bacterial biofilm. Furthermore, AAEK-CF indicated no cytotoxicity to mammalian cells, and the cells could grow normally on the modified surface. Hence, our present work demonstrated that the grafting of the SrtA inhibitor-AAEK onto cellulose films enabled to combat bacterial biofilm formation in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates have shown great promise in active targeting for cancer therapy. The existing chemical techniques for antibody conjugation generally lack efficiency or universality. In this article, a site-specific antibody conjugation was developed by using a mild reaction between a benzoboroxole (BB) functionality and cis-diol moiety of sugar units in the antibody fragment crystallizable region under neutral pH conditions. A BB/PEG/ICG-grafted poly(aspartic acid) comb-like functional polymer was first synthesized and conjugated with transferrin (Tf) to form a transferrin-polymer-drug conjugate [Tf-P(BB)], which showed 120% increase in HepG2 hepatoma (Tf receptor overexpression) cell uptake compared to a nontargeting protein-polymer-drug conjugate [HRP-P(BB)]. The universality of this method was further demonstrated by the enhanced uptake of trastuzumab (anti-Her2 antibody)-polymer-drug conjugates in MCF-7 (295%) and MDA-MB-435S (66.4%) (Her2 positive) cells. The positive charge of the linker had great influence on the targeting ability of the antibody-polymer-drug conjugates. The in vivo studies demonstrated the distinct targeting ability of Tf-P(BB) in the HepG2 xenograft tumor, and the tumor accumulation of the Tf-P(BB) testing group increased by 92% with respect to the control group [HRP-P(BB)]. More significantly, the HepG2 cell uptake amount of the antibody-oriented conjugate [Tf-P'(BB)] was 2.4-fold higher than that of the controlled group [Tf-P'(Hex)]. On the basis of this facile site-specific conjugation method, the conjugates are able to change the antibody species easily against various cancers, while maintaining the antibody integrity and targeting ability.

Abstract
Endoscopic surgery has gained widespread applications in various clinical departments, and endoscope surfaces with antifogging and antibacterial properties are essential for elaborate procedures. In this work, novel antifogging/antibacterial coatings were developed from a cationic copolymer and a hydrophilic copolymer, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-poly(quaternary ammonium compound-co-2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride) [POSS-P(QAC-co-AEMA)] and poly(N-hydroxyethylacrylamide-co-glycidyl methacrylate) [P(HEAA-co-GMA)] via a facile and green blending method. Such transparent coatings showed excellent antifogging performance under both in vitro and in vivo fogging conditions, mainly attributed to the high water-absorbing capability of HEAA and QAC. Antibacterial assays proved that the blending coatings had a superior antibacterial property, which could be improved with the proportion of POSS-P(QAC-co-AEMA) because of the bactericidal efficiency of cationic QAC. Meanwhile, owing to the high hydratability of HEAA, the blending coatings exhibited a bacteria-repelling property. By simply tuning the blending ratio of POSS-P(QAC-co-AEMA) and P(HEAA-co-GMA), the comprehensive bacteria-killing and bacteria-repelling properties of the coatings were achieved. Moreover, after incubating with red blood cells, the prepared blending coatings presented a lower hemolytic rate of less than 5%. The findings provided a potential means for addressing the challenge of fogging and bacterial contamination occurring in endoscopic lenses and other medical devices.

Abstract
Antimicrobial cotton textiles (CT) show great promise for wound dressings. However, modifying CTs to have antimicrobial properties requires balancing the killing of microbes while protecting normal cells. In this study, the surface of CT was modified using maleopimaric acid quaternary ammonium cations (MPA-N+) from rosin acid. The surfaces morphology and chemical composition were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which confirmed that the MPA-N+ modified CT (CT-g-MPA-N+) was prepared. CT-g-MPA-N+ shows strong and broad spectrum antimicrobial activities against Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). It also exhibits prominent durability of antimicrobial capability even after soaking in PBS for 6 days, and can effectively inhibit bacterial biofilm formation. Most importantly, the excellent biocompatibility of CT-g-MPA-N+ was verified by hemocompatible and cytotoxic assays. This work is believed to be promising method to prepare antimicrobial cotton textiles by surface modification and suggest the great potential application in wound dressing.

Abstract
Dental caries is a type of oral microbiome dysbiosis and biofilm infection that affects oral and systemic conditions. For healthy life expectancy, natural bacteriostatic products are ideal for daily and lifetime use as anti-oral infection agents. This study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of abietic acid, a diterpene derived from pine rosin, on the in vitro growth of cariogenic bacterial species, Streptococcus mutans. The effective minimum inhibitory concentration of abietic acid was determined through observation of S. mutans growth, acidification, and biofilm formation. The inhibitory effects of abietic acid on the bacterial membrane were investigated through the use of in situ viability analysis and scanning electron microscopic analysis. Cytotoxicity of abietic acid was also examined in the context of several human cell lines using tetrazolium reduction assay. Abietic acid was found to inhibit key bacterial growth hallmarks such as colony forming ability, adenosine triphosphate activity (both planktonic and biofilm), acid production, and biofilm formation. Abietic acid was identified as bacteriostatic, and this compound caused minimal damage to the bacterial membrane. This action was different from that of povidone-iodine or cetylpyridinium chloride. Additionally, abietic acid was significantly less cytotoxic compared to povidone-iodine, and it exerted lower toxicity towards epithelial cells and fibroblasts compared to that against monocytic cells. These data suggest that abietic acid may prove useful as an antibacterial and antibiofilm agent for controlling S. mutans infection.

Abstract
Present day awareness of biofilm colonization on polymeric surfaces has prompted the scientific community to develop an ever-increasing number of new materials with anti-biofilm features. However, compared to the large amount of work put into discovering potent biofilm inhibitors, only a small number of papers deal with their validation, a critical step in the translation of research into practical applications. This is due to the lack of standardized testing methods and/or of well-controlled in vivo studies that show biofilm prevention on polymeric surfaces; furthermore, there has been little correlation with the reduced incidence of material deterioration. Here an overview of the most common methods for studying biofilms and for testing the anti-biofilm properties of new surfaces is provided.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance, particularly by Gram-negative pathogens, have become a global healthcare crisis. We report the design of a class of cationic antimicrobial polymers that cluster local facial amphiphilicity from repeating units to enhance interactions with bacterial membranes without requiring a globally conformational arrangement associated with highly unfavorable entropic loss. This concept of macromolecular architectures is demonstrated with a series of multicyclic natural product-based cationic polymers. We have shown that cholic acid derivatives with three charged head groups are more potent and selective than lithocholic and deoxycholic counterparts, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria. This is ascribed to the formation of true facial amphiphilicity with hydrophilic ion groups oriented on one face and hydrophobic multicyclic hydrocarbon structures on the opposite face. Such local facial amphiphilicity is clustered via a flexible macromolecular backbone in a concerted way when in contact with bacterial membranes.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is one of the most common pathogens in hospital-acquired infections. It is often resistant to multiple antibiotics (including carbapenems), and can cause severe pneumonia. In search of effective antimicrobials, we recently developed polyionenes that were demonstrated to be potent against a broad-spectrum of microbes in vitro. In this study, polyionenes containing rigid amide bonds were synthesized to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) K. pneumoniae lung infection. The polyionene exhibited broad-spectrum activity against clinically-isolated MDR bacteria with low minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). It also demonstrated stronger antimicrobial activity against 20 clinical strains of K. pneumoniae and more rapid killing kinetics than imipenem and other commonly used antibiotics. Multiple treatments with imipenem and gentamycin led to drug resistance in K. pneumoniae, while repeated use of the polymer did not cause resistance development due to its membrane-disruption antimicrobial mechanism. Additionally, the polymer showed potent anti-biofilm activity. In a MDR K. pneumoniae lung infection mouse model, the polymer demonstrated lower effective dose than imipenem with negligible systemic toxicity. The polymer treatment significantly alleviated lung injury, markedly reduced K. pneumoniae counts in the blood and major organs, and decreased mortality. Given its potent in vivo antimicrobial activity, negligible toxicity and ability of mitigating resistance development, the polyionene may be used to treat MDR K. pneumoniae lung infection. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is one of the most common pathogens in hospital-acquired infections, is often resistant to multiple antibiotics including carbapenems and can cause severe pneumonia. In this study, we report synthesis of antimicrobial polymers (polyionenes) and their use as antimicrobial agents for treatment of K. pneumoniae-caused pneumonia. The polymers have broad spectrum antibacterial activity against clinically isolated MDR bacteria, and eliminate MDR K. pneumoniae more effectively and rapidly than clinically used antibiotics. The polymer treatment also provides higher survival rate and faster bacterial removal from the major organs and the blood than the antibiotics. Repeated use of the polymer does not lead to resistance development. More importantly, at the therapeutic dose, the polymer treatment does not cause acute toxicity. Given its in vivo efficacy and negligible toxicity, the polymer is a promising candidate for the treatment of MDR K. pneumoniae-caused pneumonia.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have become a global issue that requires urgent attention, particularly regarding to emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria. We developed quaternary amine-containing antimicrobial poly(bile acid)s that contain a hydrophobic core of lithocholic acid in the main-chain. Interestingly, by choosing appropriate monomers, these cationic polymers can form core-shell micelles. These polymers exhibited biocidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species. It is demonstrated that the micelles can deliver hydrophobic antibiotics that functionally have dual antimicrobial activities. Cytotoxicity assays against HeLa cells showed dosage-dependent toxicity for polymers with longer linkers.

Abstract
A novel rosin-based ester tertiary amine (RETA) with three hydrophilic groups and a rigid hydrophobic group was synthesized from rosin by Diels-Alder addition, acylation and esterification reactions. RETA was characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C NMR). Results from testing surface tension, zeta potential, and transmission electron spectroscopy showed that RETA had unique pH responsiveness. RETA self-assembled into worm-like micelles, spherical micelles 130 nm in diameter and big spherical worm-like aggregates with diameter of 2 μm at pH = 5.76, 8.04 and 9.38, respectively. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of RETA was 0.42 mmol/L, and the surface tension at CMC (γcmc) was 38.73 mN/m when pH was 8.04. The RETA had a potential application in delivering doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) due to the pH responsiveness. Self-assembly mixed systems of RETA and rosin-based phosphoric acid (DDPD) were designed to improve emulsification. The mixed systems had obvious synergistic effects and unexpected emulsification. The γcmc and CMC of mixtures were 41.74 mN/m and 0.20 mmol/L, the size of mixture micelles increased up to 300 nm in the optimum molar ratio of RETA/DDPD (7:3) by TEM and cryo-TEM. It was worth noting that the mixture system formed vesicles in the RETA/DDPD molar ratio of 5:5. The stability time of emulsion with RETA and DDPD as emulsifier were only 63 s and 52 s respectively, but the stability time increased to 234 s in the optimum molar ratio. In addition, the formation mechanisms of micelles at different pH and in various mixtures were discussed in detail. What's more, cytotoxicity results showed that the toxicity of RETA was lower significantly than that of lecithin, a food ingredient in egg yolk and soybean. The cell viability was more than 83% in the high concentration of RETA (4000 μg/ml).

Abstract
The aim of this work was to prepare and characterize solid dispersions of abietic acid (AB) and chitosan (CS) to investigate how formulation of the mixture may help in the battle against microbial colonization in different areas, such as the biomedical field or the food industry. Solid dispersions were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, polarized optical microscopy, zeta potential and size analysis. The data showed that the dispersion/solvent evaporation method formed solid dispersions in which abietic acid was molecularly dispersed in the carrier. A synergistic effect between the two components in terms of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties was found, especially in the formulations obtained with 1/1 AB/CS molar ratio. Interestingly, the aggregation state (amorphous/crystalline) of AB seemed to affect the antimicrobial activity of the formulation, suggesting increased bioactivity when the drug was in the amorphous state. These findings, together with the demonstrated biocompatibility of the formulations, seem to open promising perspectives for a successful application of the developed AB/CS formulations in the biomedical field or in the food industry.

Abstract
Bacterial infections, particularly by Gram-negative pathogens, have become a serious threat to global healthcare due to the diminishing effectiveness of existing antibiotics. We report a nontraditional therapy to combine three components in one macromolecular system, in which boronic acid adheres to peptidoglycan or lipopolysaccharide via boron-polyol based boronolectin chemistry, cationic metal polymer frameworks interact with negatively charged cell membranes, and β-lactam antibiotics are reinstated with enhanced vitality to attack bacteria via evading the detrimental enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis. These macromolecular systems exhibited high efficacy in combating pathogenic bacteria, especially Gram-negative strains, due to synergistic effects of multicomponents on interactions with bacterial cells. In vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity and hemolysis evaluation indicated that these multifunctional copolymers did not induce cell death by apoptosis, as well as did not alter the phenotypes of immune cells and did not show observable toxic effect on red blood cells.

Abstract
There is no coating technology currently available to prevent the notorious biofilm formation issue. Here, a potential solution to fully address this tough issue is reported by developing a super-antifouling coating. The use of zwitterionic hydrogel (a double-sided tape) and commercial superglue is combined and a durable and ultrarobust antifouling zwitterionic (DURA-Z) coating is created that can be easily and universally applied on common substrates. Commercial superglue mostly for binding hydrophobic materials is used to strongly immobilize the superhydrophilic DURA-Z coating through interpenetration. DURA-Z coating effectively solves several key challenges preventing the current antifouling coatings from practical use, including difficult fabrication, low efficacy, poor toughness, and durability. The fabricated DURA-Z coating retains antifouling property after 90 d of immersion in water, 50 d of buffer shearing, and 30 d of water flushing, and after repeated knife scratch and sandpaper abrasion under 570 kPa. The DURA-Z coating achieves a rarely reported long-term biofilm resistance to both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi: it remains almost "zero" microbe adhesion after continuously challenged by more than 109 cells mL-1 culture medium for 30 d.

Abstract
The use of implantable medical devices is a common and indispensable part of medical care for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. However, as side effect, the implant of medical devices quite often leads to the occurrence of difficult-to-treat infections, as a consequence of the colonization of their abiotic surfaces by biofilm-growing microorganisms increasingly resistant to antimicrobial therapies. A promising strategy to combat device-related infections is based on anti-infective biomaterials that either repel microbes, so they cannot attach to the device surfaces, or kill them in the surrounding areas. In general, such biomaterials are characterized by antifouling coatings, exhibiting low adhesion or even repellent properties towards microorganisms, or antimicrobial coatings, able to kill microbes approaching the surface. In this light, the present overview will address the development in the last two decades of antifouling and antimicrobial biomaterials designed to potentially limit the initial stages of microbial adhesion, as well as the microbial growth and biofilm formation on medical device surfaces.

Abstract
Microbial infections affect humans worldwide. Many quaternary ammonium compounds have been synthesized that are not only antibacterial, but also possess antifungal, antiviral and anti-matrix metalloproteinase capabilities. Incorporation of quaternary ammonium moieties into polymers represents one of the most promising strategies for preparation of antimicrobial biomaterials. Various polymerization techniques have been employed to prepare antimicrobial surfaces with quaternary ammonium functionalities; in particular, syntheses involving controlled radical polymerization techniques enable precise control over macromolecular structure, order and functionality. Although recent publications report exciting advances in the biomedical field, some of these technological developments have also been accompanied by potential toxicological and antimicrobial resistance challenges. Recent evidenced-based data on the biomedical applications of antimicrobial quaternary ammonium-containing biomaterials that are based on randomized human clinical trials, the golden standard in contemporary medicinal science, are included in the present review. This should help increase visibility, stimulate debates and spur conversations within a wider scientific community on the implications and plausibility for future developments of quaternary ammonium-based antimicrobial biomaterials.

Abstract
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are the infections that patients get while receiving medical treatment in a medical facility with bacterial HAIs being the most common. Silver and gold nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully employed as antibacterial motifs; however, NPs leaching in addition to poor dispersion and overall reproducibility are major hurdles to further product development. In this study, the authors design and fabricate a smart antibacterial mixed-matrix membrane coating comprising colloidal lysozyme-templated gold nanoclusters as nanofillers in poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(butylene terephthalate) amphiphilic polymer matrix. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles-lysozyme functionalized gold nanoclusters disperse homogenously within the polymer matrix with no phase separation and zero NPs leaching. This mixed-matrix coating can successfully sense and inhibit bacterial contamination via a controlled release mechanism that is only triggered by bacteria. The system is coated on a common radiographic dental imaging device (photostimulable phosphor plate) that is prone to oral bacteria contamination. Variation and eventually disappearance of the red fluorescence surface under UV light signals bacterial infection. Kanamycin, an antimicrobial agent, is controllably released to instantly inhibit bacterial growth. Interestingly, the quality of the images obtained with these coated surfaces is the same as uncoated surfaces and thus the safe application of such smart coatings can be expanded to include other medical devices without compromising their utility.

Abstract
The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical properties of interfaces and has given rise to great advances in surface and interface engineering. Polymer brushes are defined as thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. Significant advances have been made over the past years in the field of polymer brushes. This includes novel developments in SI-CRP, as well as the emergence of novel applications such as catalysis, electronics, nanomaterial synthesis and biosensing. Additionally, polymer brushes prepared via SI-CRP have been utilized to modify the surface of novel substrates such as natural fibers, polymer nanofibers, mesoporous materials, graphene, viruses and protein nanoparticles. The last years have also seen exciting advances in the chemical and physical characterization of polymer brushes, as well as an ever increasing set of computational and simulation tools that allow understanding and predictions of these surface-grafted polymer architectures. The aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive review that critically assesses recent advances in the field and highlights the opportunities and challenges for future work.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by drug-resistant microorganisms have become a major contributor for human morbidity and mortality. To overcome such threats, we have developed various antimicrobial agents using natural product derivatives and metallopolymers. Abundant biomass such as resin acids can be utilized to prepare cationic polymers for inhibiting a variety of bacteria. These polymers have been used in solution as well as surfaces as antimicrobial materials with low cytotoxicity. In addition, a class of charged metallopolymers have been developed to kill superbugs such as MRSA.
