Abstract
Injectable hydrogels with good antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, self-healing characteristics, suitable mechanical properties, and therapeutic effects have great practical significance for developing treatments for pressing healthcare challenges. Herein, we have designed a novel, self-healing injectable hydrogel composite incorporating cross-linked biofunctional nanomaterials by mixing alginate aldehyde (Ox-Alg), quaternized chitosan (QCS), adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH), and copper oxide nanosheets surface functionalized with folic acid as the bioligand (F-CuO). Gelation was achieved under physiological conditions via the dynamic Schiff base cross-linking mechanism. The developed nanocomposite injectable hydrogel demonstrated the fast self-healing ability essential to bear deformation and outstanding antibacterial properties along with ROS scavenging ability. Furthermore, the optimized formulation of our F-CuO-embedded injectable hydrogel exhibited excellent cytocompatibility, blood compatibility, and in vitro wound healing performance. Taken together, the F-CuO nanosheet cross-linked injectable hydrogel composite presented herein offers a promising candidate biomaterial with multifunctional properties to develop solutions for addressing clinical challenges.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with mimetic enzyme properties and the related research has attracted much attention. It is of great value to develop methods to construct nanozymes and to study their application in bioanalysis. Herein, the metal-ligand cross-linking strategy was developed to fabricate superstructure nanozymes. This strategy takes advantage of being easy to operate, adjustable, cheap, and universal. The fabricated superstructure nanozymes possess efficient peroxidase-like catalytic activity. The enzyme reaction kinetic tests demonstrated that for TMB and H2O2, the Km is 0.229 and 1.308 mM, respectively. Furthermore, these superstructure nanozymes are applied to highly efficient and sensitive detection of glucose. The linear range for detecting glucose is 20-2000 μM, and the limit of detection is 17.5 μM. Furthermore, mechanistic research illustrated that this integrated system oxidizes glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide and further catalyzes the production of ·OH and O2·-, which results in a chromogenic reaction of oxidized TMB for the detection of glucose. This work could not only contribute to the development of efficient nanozymes but also inspire research in the highly sensitive detection of other biomarkers.

Abstract
Resistance to antibiotics and antimicrobial compounds is a significant problem for human and animal health globally. The development and introduction of new antimicrobial compounds are urgently needed, and copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) have found widespread application across various sectors including biomedicine, pharmacy, catalysis, cosmetics, and many others. What makes them particularly attractive is the possibility of their synthesis through biogenic routes. In this study, we synthesized biogenic green tea (GT, Camellia sinensis)-derived CuO NPs (GT CuO NPs) and examined their biophysical properties, in vitro toxicity for mammalian cells in culture, and then tested them against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, an exemplar Gram-negative bacterium from the World Health Organization's Priority Pathogen List. We compared our synthesized GT CuOP NPs with commercial CuO NPs (Com CuO NPs). Com CuO NPs were significantly more cytotoxic to mammalian cells (IC50 of 7.32 μg/mL) than GT CuO NPs (IC50 of 106.1 μg/mL). GT CuO NPs showed no significant increase in bax, bcl2, il6, and il1β mRNA expression from mammalian cells, whereas there were notable rises after treatment with Com CuO NPs. GT-CuO NPs required concentrations of 0.625 and 3.125 μg/mL to kill 50 and 100% of bacteria, respectively, whereas Com-CuO NPs needed concentrations of 15.625 and 30 μg/mL to kill 50 and 100% of bacteria, and the antibiotic ceftriaxone killed 50 and 100% with 3.125 and 30 μg/mL. Gonococci could be killed within 30 min of exposure to GT CuO NPs and the NPs could kill up to 107 within 1 h. In summary, this is the first report to our knowledge that describes the bioactivity of biogenic CuO NPs against N. gonorrhoeae. Our data suggest that biogenic nanoparticle synthesis has significant advantages over traditional chemical routes of synthesis and highlights the potential of GT-CuO NPs in addressing the challenges posed by multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections.

Interlaboratory comparison of centrifugal ultrafiltration with ICP-MS detection in a first-step towards methods to screen for nanomaterial release during certification of drinking water contact materials. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:168686.

Abstract
A key requirement for evaluating the safety of nano-enabled water treatment devices is measuring concentrations of insoluble nanomaterials released from devices into water that may be ingested by consumers. Therefore, there is a need for simple technique that uses commonly available commercial laboratory techniques to discriminate between nanoparticles and dissolved by-products of the nanomaterial (e.g., ionic metals). Such capabilities would enable screening for particulate or dissolved metals released into water from nanomaterial-containing drinking water contact materials (e.g., paint coatings) or devices (e.g., filters). This multi-laboratory study sought to investigate the use of relatively inexpensive centrifugal ultrafilters to separate nanoparticulate from ionic metal in combination with inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection. The accuracy, precision, and reproducibility for the proposed method were assessed using mixtures of nanoparticulate and ionic gold (Au) in a standard and widely utilized model water matrix (NSF International Standard 53/61). Concentrations for both ionic and nanoparticulate gold based upon measurements of Au mass in the initial solutions and Au permeating the centrifugal ultrafilters. Results across different solution compositions and different participating labs showed that ionic and nanoparticulate Au could be consistently discriminated with ppb concentrations typically resulting in <10 % error. A mass balance was not achieved because nanoparticles were retained on membranes embedded in plastic holders inside the centrifuge tubes, and the entire apparatus could not be acid and/or microwave digested. This was a minor limitation considering the ultrafiltration method is a screening tool, and gold concentration in the permeate indicates the presence of ionic metal rather than nanoforms. With further development, this approach could prove to be an effective tool in screening for nanomaterial release from water-system or device materials as part of third-party certification processes of drinking water compatible products.

Abstract
Design criteria for controlling engineered nanomaterial (ENM) antimicrobial performance will enable advances in medical, food production, processing and preservation, and water treatment applications. In pursuit of this goal, better resolution of how specific ENM properties, such as nanoparticle shape, influence antimicrobial activity is needed. This study probes the antimicrobial activity toward a model Gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli (E. coli), that results from interfacial interactions with differently shaped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs): cube-, disc-, and pseudospherical-AgNPs. The EC50 value (i.e., the concentration of AgNPs that inactivates 50% of the microbial population) for each shape is identified and presented as a function of mass, surface area, and particle number. Further, shifts in relative potency are identified from the associated dose-response curves (e.g., shifts left, to lower concentrations, indicate greater potency). When using a mass-based dose metric, the disc-AgNPs present the highest antimicrobial activity of the three shapes (EC50: 2.39 ± 0.26 μg/mL for discs, 2.99 ± 0.96 μg/mL for cubes, 116.33 ± 6.43 μg/mL for pseudospheres). When surface area and particle number are used as dose metrics, the cube-AgNPs possess the highest antimicrobial activity (EC50-surface area: 4.70 × 10-5 ± 1.51 × 10-5 m2/mL, EC50-particle: 5.97 × 109 ± 1.92 × 109 particles/mL), such that the relative trend in potency becomes cubes > discs > pseudospheres and cubes ≫ discs ⩾ pseudospheres, respectively. The results reveal that the antimicrobial potency of disc-AgNPs is sensitive to the dose metric, significantly decreasing in potency (∼5-30×) upon conversion from a mass-based concentration to surface area and particle number and influencing the conclusions drawn. The shift in relative particle potency highlights the importance of investigating various dose metrics within the experimental design and signals different particle parameters influencing shape-based antimicrobial activity. To probe shape-dependent behavior, we use a unique empirical approach where the physical and chemical properties (ligand chemistry, surface charge) of the AgNP shapes are carefully controlled, and total available surface area is equivalent across shapes as made through modifications to particle size and concentration. The results herein suggest that surface area alone does not drive antimicrobial activity as the different AgNP shapes at equivalent particle surface area yield significantly different magnitudes of antimicrobial activity (i.e., 100% inactivation for cube-AgNPs, <25% inactivation for disc- and pseudospherical-AgNPs). Further, the particle shapes studied possess different crystal facets, illuminating their potential influence on differentiating interactions between the particle surface and the microbe. Whereas surface area may partly contribute to antimicrobial activity in certain ENM shapes (i.e., disc-AgNPs in relation to the pseudospherical-AgNPs), the different magnitudes of antimicrobial activity across shape provide insight into the likely role of other particle-specific factors, such as crystal facets, driving the antimicrobial activity of other shapes (i.e., cube-AgNPs).

Abstract
This review discusses topics relevant to the development of antimicrobial nanocoatings and nanoscale surface modifications for medical and dental applications. Nanomaterials have unique properties compared to their micro- and macro-scale counterparts and can be used to reduce or inhibit bacterial growth, surface colonization and biofilm development. Generally, nanocoatings exert their antimicrobial effects through biochemical reactions, production of reactive oxygen species or ionic release, while modified nanotopographies create a physically hostile surface for bacteria, killing cells via biomechanical damage. Nanocoatings may consist of metal nanoparticles including silver, copper, gold, zinc, titanium, and aluminum, while nonmetallic compounds used in nanocoatings may be carbon-based in the form of graphene or carbon nanotubes, or composed of silica or chitosan. Surface nanotopography can be modified by the inclusion of nanoprotrusions or black silicon. Two or more nanomaterials can be combined to form nanocomposites with distinct chemical or physical characteristics, allowing combination of different properties such as antimicrobial activity, biocompatibility, strength, and durability. Despite their wide range of applications in medical engineering, questions have been raised regarding potential toxicity and hazards. Current legal frameworks do not effectively regulate antimicrobial nanocoatings in matters of safety, with open questions remaining about risk analysis and occupational exposure limits not considering coating-based approaches. Bacterial resistance to nanomaterials is also a concern, especially where it may affect wider antimicrobial resistance. Nanocoatings have excellent potential for future use, but safe development of antimicrobials requires careful consideration of the "One Health" agenda, appropriate legislation, and risk assessment.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have applications in environmental protection, hygiene, medicine, agriculture, and the food industry due to their enhanced bio-efficacy/toxicity as science and technology have progressed, notably nanotechnology. The extension in the use of nanoparticles in day-to-day products and their excellent efficacy raises worries about safety concerns associated with their use. Therefore, to understand their safety concerns and find the remedy, it is imperative to understand the rationales for their enhanced toxicity at low concentrations to minimize their potential side effects. The worldwide literature quotes different nanoparticle functions responsible for their enhanced bio-efficacy/ toxicity. Since the literature on the comparative toxicity study of nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes having different other physic-chemical properties like surface areas, surface charge, solubility, etc., evident that the nanoparticle's toxicity is not followed the fashion according to their shape, size, surface area, surface charge, solubility, and other Physico-chemical properties. It raises the question then what function of nanoparticle is the primary factor for their hyper toxicity. Why do non-spherical and large-sized nanoparticles show the same or higher toxicity to the same or different cell line or test organism instead of having lower surface area, surface charge, larger size, etc., than their corresponding spherical and smaller-sized nanoparticles? Are these factors a secondary, not primary, factor for nanoparticles hyper-toxicity? If so, what function of nanoparticles is the primary function for their hyper-toxicity? Therefore, in this article, literature related to the comparative toxicity of nanoparticles was thoroughly studied, and a hypothesis is put forth to address the aforesaid question, that the number of atoms/ions/ molecules per nanoparticles is the primary function of nanoparticles toxicity.

Abstract
The wide spread of antibiotic resistance has been alarming in recent years and poses a serious global hazard to public health as it leads to millions of deaths all over the world. The wide spread of resistance and sharing resistance genes between different types of bacteria led to emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) microorganisms. This problem is exacerbated when microorganisms create biofilms, which can boost bacterial resistance by up to 1000-fold and increase the emergence of MDR infections. The absence of novel and potent antimicrobial compounds is linked to the rise of multidrug resistance. This has sparked international efforts to develop new and improved antimicrobial agents as well as innovative and efficient techniques for antibiotic administration and targeting. There is an evolution in nanotechnology in recent years in treatment and prevention of the biofilm formation and MDR infection. The development of nanomaterial-based therapeutics, which could overcome current pathways linked to acquired drug resistance, is a hopeful strategy for treating difficult-to-treat bacterial infections. Additionally, nanoparticles' distinct size and physical characteristics enable them to target biofilms and treat resistant pathogens. This review highlights the current advances in nanotechnology to combat MDR and biofilm infection. In addition, it provides insight on development and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, spread of MDR and XDR infection, and development of nanoparticles and mechanisms of their antibacterial activity. Moreover, this review considers the difference between free antibiotics and nanoantibiotics, and the synergistic effect of nanoantibiotics to combat planktonic bacteria, intracellular bacteria and biofilm. Finally, we will discuss the strength and limitations of the application of nanotechnology against bacterial infection and future perspectives.

Abstract
Cu-based nanomaterials have been developed to alleviate the problem of antibiotic resistance due to their superior properties and good biocompatibility. Defects in nanomaterials have a major role in improving photocatalytic performance. Herein, two CuS nanospheres with predominant VCuSCu and VCuSS vacancy (abbreviated as CuS and CuS-T150, respectively) characterized by positron annihilation spectra are synthesized. The combination of experimental and theoretical calculation results demonstrates that CuS-T150 exhibits excellent antibacterial, achieving bactericidal rates of 99.9% against to Escherichia coli (E. coli) under 808 nm laser irradiation. Compared with CuS, the superior antimicrobial activity of CuS-T150 is mainly attributed to its stronger ability to adsorb oxygen molecules, more easily bind with surface of E. coli, and higher photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE). This work provides a deeper understanding of nanomaterials with vacancy modulated the antibacterial efficiency by synergistic effect of photodynamic and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Despite significant progress in synthetic polymer chemistry and in control over tuning the structures and morphologies of nanoparticles, studies on morphologic design of nanomaterials for the purpose of optimizing antimicrobial activity have yielded mixed results. When designing antimicrobial materials, it is important to consider two distinctly different modes and mechanisms of activity-those that involve direct interactions with bacterial cells, and those that promote the entry of nanomaterials into infected host cells to gain access to intracellular pathogens. Antibacterial activity of nanoparticles may involve direct interactions with organisms and/or release of antibacterial cargo, and these activities depend on attractive interactions and contact areas between particles and bacterial or host cell surfaces, local curvature and dynamics of the particles, all of which are functions of nanoparticle shape. Bacteria may exist as spheres, rods, helices, or even in uncommon shapes (e.g., box- and star-shaped) and, furthermore, may transform into other morphologies along their lifespan. For bacteria that invade host cells, multivalent interactions are involved and are dependent upon bacterial size and shape. Therefore, mimicking bacterial shapes has been hypothesized to impact intracellular delivery of antimicrobial nanostructures. Indeed, designing complementarities between the shapes of microorganisms with nanoparticle platforms that are designed for antimicrobial delivery offers interesting new perspectives toward future nanomedicines. Some studies have reported improved antimicrobial activities with spherical shapes compared to non-spherical constructs, whereas other studies have reported higher activity for non-spherical structures (e.g., rod, discoid, cylinder, etc.). The shapes of nano- and microparticles have also been shown to impact their rates and extents of uptake by mammalian cells (macrophages, epithelial cells, and others). However, in most of these studies, nanoparticle morphology was not intentionally designed to mimic specific bacterial shape. Herein, the morphologic designs of nanoparticles that possess antimicrobial activities per se and those designed to deliver antimicrobial agent cargoes are reviewed. Furthermore, hypotheses beyond shape dependence and additional factors that help to explain apparent discrepancies among studies are highlighted.

[PMID: 36059853 PMCID: PMC9419445 DOI: 10.1016/j.ceramint.2022.08.249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Food packages have been detected carrying novel coronavirus in multi-locations since the outbreak of COVID-19, causing major concern in the field of food safety. Metal-based supported materials are widely used for sterilization due to their excellent antibacterial properties as well as low biological resistance. As the principal part of antibacterial materials, the active component, commonly referred to Ag, Cu, Zn, etc., plays the main role in inhibiting and killing pathogenic microorganisms by destroying the structure of cells. As another composition of metal-based antibacterial materials, the carrier could support and disperse the active component, which on one hand, could effectively decrease the usage amount of active component, on the other hand, could be processed into various forms to broaden the application range of antibacterial materials. Different from other metal-based antibacterial reviews, in order to highlight the detailed function of various carriers, we divided the carriers into biocompatible and adsorptable types and discussed their different antibacterial effects. Moreover, a novel substitution antibacterial mechanism was proposed. The coating and shaping techniques of metal-based antibacterial materials as well as their applications in food storage at ambient and low temperatures are also comprehensively summarized. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis and reference for researchers in this field to develop new metal-based antibacterial materials.

Abstract
Copper-based nanoparticles have been intensively studied owing to their superior antibacterial activity. In this study, cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanoparticles were synthesized using two different methods. In particular, two methods for synthesizing copper oxide from NaOH, namely, with and without the addition of NH3, were used to adjust the morphology of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles from the NH3 and NaOH samples possessed an octahedral morphology. The crystal structure of the samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The size distribution of the NH3 sample was narrower than that of the NaOH sample. Furthermore, the average size of the NH3 sample was smaller than that of the NaOH sample. Unexpectedly, the antibacterial activity of the NH3 sample was found to be lower than that of the NaOH sample. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the adsorbed NH3 caused the surface oxidation of Cu2O nanoparticles with azide (N3) formation on surface.

Abstract
The outbreak of coronavirus ailments (COVID-19) in 2019 resulted in public health crisis leading to global pandemonium. In response to the high prevalence of disease transmission, governments all around the globe implemented emergency measures in various routes (e.g., social distancing, personal hygiene, and disinfection of public/private places) to curb/contain COVID-19 infections. The social media infodemic, released as uncensored publishing and/or views/recommendations, also triggered large-scale behavior changes such as the overuse of advanced sanitation products (ASPs) containing nanomaterials. The majority of these ASPs contain silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as an active ingredient to enhance their antimicrobial potential. Ecotoxicological concerns such as the transformation and degradation of these AgNP-infused products in terrestrial or aquatic environments are under the jurisdiction of the EPA. However, they are not considered in the FDA approval process. In light of excessive consumption of ASPs, it is time to consider their ecotoxicological screening prior to market approval jointly by the FDA and EPA, along with the implementation of post-market surveillance strategies. At the same time, efforts should be put into running awareness programs to prevent the overuse of ASPs.

Abstract
The treatment of water contaminated by bacteria is becoming a necessity. The nanomaterials possessing both intrinsic antibacterial properties and photocatalytic activity are excellent candidates for water disinfection. The powdered form of nanomaterials can be aggregated while embedding the nanomaterials into the NFs can overcome the limitation and enhance the photocatalytic activity and transition from UV-light to visiblelight. Here, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized, grafted to chitosan, and decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to produce Ag-decorated reduced GO-graft-Chitosan (AGC) NPs. The blends of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and AGC NPs were prepared in various concentrations of 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 5.0 wt%, and 10.0 wt% and used to fabricate the electrospun composite NFs. FTIR/ATR, UV-Vis, Raman, XRD, and SEM/EDAX analyses confirmed the successful preparation of the NPs and NFs. The cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity of the composite NFs were received in the order of composite NFs 10.0 wt%˃ 5.0 wt%˃ 1.0 wt%˃ 0.5 wt% in both conditions with/without light irradiation. Their cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity were more under light irradiation compared to the dark. The composite NFs (5.0 wt%) were distinguished as the optimum NFs with cell viability of 80% within 24 h and 60% within 48 h on L929 cells and inhibition zone diameter (IZD) of 12 mm for E. coli and 13 mm for S. aureus after 24 h under the light irradiation. The optimum composite NFs showed thermal stability up to 180 °C and tensile strength of 1.11 MPa with 21.71% elongation at break.

Abstract
The surface arrangements of nanomaterials can regulate their electronic structure, which will tune physicochemical properties of materials to various applications. In this study, two Cu7S4 nanosheets with (304) and (224) exposed facets were synthesized, respectively, and their antibacterial activity of different facets for replacing antibiotics to solve seriously drug-resistant bacteria were further measured. Experimental and theoretical computation results unveiled that Cu7S4 with (224) exposed facet exhibited excellent antibacterial activity through synergetic photodynamic and photothermal therapy against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, Gram-negative Escherichia coli and drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa under near-infrared light (808 nm) irradiation. Furthermore, the antibacterial agents strongly inhibit mouse skin infection by drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells. The findings provide an efficient antibacterial strategy and might advance the method of designing and producing highly effective antibacterial nanomaterials through facet engineering.

Abstract
Steady developments made in nanotechnology-based products have facilitated new perspectives for combating drug-resistant fungi. Silver nanoparticles represent one of the most attractive nanomaterials in biomedicine due to their exclusive optical, electromagnetic, and catalytic properties and antifungal potency compared with other metal nanoparticles. Most studies show that the physicochemical parameters affecting the antifungal potential of AgNPs include the shape, size, surface charge, and concentration and colloidal state. For the present study, pullulan (P) and its oxidized counterpart (PO) have been selected as matrices for the silver nanoparticles’ generation and stabilization (AgNPs). The TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl radical)–sodium hypochlorite–sodium bromide system was used for the C6 selective oxidation of pullulan in order to introduce negatively charged carboxylic groups in its structure. The structure and morphology of the synthesized AgNPs were analyzed using FTIR and EDX. The main objective of this study was to elucidate the antifungal activity of AgNPs on the clinical yeasts isolates and compare the performance of AgNPs with the conventional antifungals. In this study, different concentrations of AgNPs were tested to examine antifungal activity on various clinical isolates.

Abstract
Mussels are suggested as bioindicators of marine microplastic pollution. However, they are selective in regards to accumulation of microplastics. To make studies more targeted and comparable, ultimately helping to determine the suitability of the mussel as a bioindicator species for microplastic exposure, we review the published literature that has directly or indirectly demonstrated particle selection in mussels. The reported difference between microplastic levels in mussel tissues and environmental matrices provides evidence for their selective uptake characteristics. Both the organ-specific fate characteristics of microplastics, and the different movement patterns of microplastics in the same organ, show that selective translocation processes take place. The selective elimination is reflected in multiple aspects which include (1) the different characteristics of microplastics in excretion and mussel body; (2) the different retention time of various microplastics in mussels; and (3) the tissue-specific change in the numbers of microplastics during the depuration process. This selectivity is affected by the characteristics of the microplastics, the environmental, or laboratory exposure concentrations, feeding status, and other factors. There are still many research gaps and contradictory viewpoints in this field due to this complexity. The current methodology needs improvement and a breakthrough in standardization.

Abstract
The last decade has witnessed tremendous growth in the commercial use of metal-based engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) for a wide range of products and processes. Consequently, direct and indirect release into environmental systems may no longer be considered negligible or insignificant. Yet, there is an active debate as to whether there are real risks to human or ecological health with environmental exposure to ENMs. Previous research has focused primarily on the acute effects of individual ENMs using pure cultures under controlled laboratory environments, which may not accurately reveal the ecological impacts of ENMs under real environmental conditions. The goal of this review is to assess our current understanding of ENM effects as we move from exposure of single to multiple ENMs or microbial species. For instance, are ENMs' impacts on microbial communities predicted by their intrinsic physical or chemical characteristics or their effects on single microbial populations; how do chronic ENM interactions compare to acute toxicity; does behavior under simplified laboratory conditions reflect that in environmental media; finally, is biological stress modified by interactions in ENM mixtures relative to that of individual ENM? This review summarizes key findings and our evolving understanding of the ecological effects of ENMs under complex environmental conditions on microbial systems, identifies the gaps in our current knowledge, and indicates the direction of future research.

Abstract
Introduction:Despite extensive advances in the production and synthesis of antibiotics, infectious diseases are one of the main problems of the 21st century due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) distributing in organisms. Therefore, researchers in nanotechnology have focused on new strategies to formulate and synthesis the different types of nanoparticles (NPs) with antimicrobial properties.Areas covered:The present review focuses on nanoparticles which are divided into two groups, organic (micelles, liposomes, polymer-based and lipid-based NPs) and inorganic (metals and metal oxides). NPs can penetrate the cell wall then destroy permeability of cell membrane, the structure and function of cell macromolecules by producing of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and eventually kill the bacteria. Moreover, their characteristics and mechanism in various bacteria especially MDR bacteria and finally their biocompatibility and the factors affecting their activity have been discussed.Expert opinion:Nanotechnology has led to higher drug absorption, targeted drug delivery and fewer side effects. NPs can overcome MDR through affecting several targets in the bacteria cell and synergistically increase the effectiveness of current antibiotics. Moreover, organic NPs with regard to their biodegradability and biocompatibility characteristics can be suitable agents for medical applications. However, they are less stable in environment in comparison to inorganic NPs.

Abstract
The development in nanobiotechnology provides an in-depth understanding of cell-surface interactions at the nanoscale level. Particularly, several surface features have shown the ability to interrogate the bacterial behavior and fate. In the past decade, the mechanical and physical sterilization has attracted considerable attention, as paradigms of such do not rely on chemical substances to damage or kill bacteria, whereas it is associated with natural living organisms or synthetic materials. Of note, such antibacterial scenario does not cause bacterial resistance, as the morphology of nanometer can directly cause bacterial death through physical and mechanical interactions. In this review, we provide an overview of recently developed technologies of leveraging topographical nanofeatures for physical sterilization. We mainly discuss the development of various morphologic nanostructures, and colloidal nanostructures show casing the capacity of "mechanical sterilization." Mechanically sterilized nanostructures can penetrate or cut through bacterial membranes. In addition, surface morphology, such as mechanical bactericidal nanoparticles and nanoneedles, can cause damage to the membrane of microorganisms, leading to cell lysis and death. Although the research in the field of mechanical sterilization is still in infancy, the effect of these nanostructure morphologies on sterilization has shown remarkable antibacterial potential, which could provide a new toolkit for anti-infection and antifouling applications. The mechanical and physical sterilization has attracted considerable attention, as paradigms of such do not rely on chemical substances to damage or kill bacteria. Moreover, such antibacterial scenario does not cause bacterial resistance, as the morphology of nanometer can directly cause bacterial death through physical and mechanical interactions. In this review, we focus on the advanced development of various morphologic nanostructures and colloidal nanostructures that show the capacity of "mechanical sterilization."

Performance indicators for a holistic evaluation of catalyst-based degradation-A case study of selected pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 402:123460.

Abstract
Considerable efforts have been made to develop effective and sustainable catalysts, e.g., carbon-/biochar-based catalyst, for the decontamination of organic pollutants in water/wastewater. Most of the published studies evaluated the catalytic performance mainly upon degradation efficiency of parent compounds; however, comprehensive and field-relevant performance assessment is still in need. This review critically analysed the performance indicators for carbon-/biochar-based catalytic degradation from the perspectives of: (1) degradation of parent compounds, i.e., concentrations, kinetics, reactive oxidative species (ROS) analysis, and residual oxidant concentration; (2) formation of intermediates and by-products, i.e., intermediates analysis, evolution of inorganic ions, and total organic carbon (TOC); and (3) impact assessment of treated samples, i.e., toxicity evolution, disinfection effect, and biodegradability test. Five most frequently detected pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) (sulfamethoxazole, carbamazepine, ibuprofen, diclofenac, and acetaminophen) were selected as a case study to articulate the performance indicators for a holistic evaluation of carbon-/biochar-based catalytic degradation. This review also encourages the development of alternative performance indicators to facilitate the rational design of catalysts in future studies.

Abstract
This is the first report of an atomic-scale direct oxidation mechanism of the thiol group in glutathione (GSH) by epoxides on graphene oxide (GO) at room temperature. The proposed reaction mechanism is determined using a coupled experimental and computational approach; active sites for the reaction are determined through examination of GO surface chemistry changes before and after exposure to GSH, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations determine the reaction barriers for the possible GO-GSH reaction schemes. The findings build on the previously established catalytic mechanism of GSH oxidation by graphenic nanocarbon surfaces and importantly identify the direct reaction mechanism which becomes important in low-oxygen environments. Experimental results suggest epoxides as the active sites for the reaction with GSH, which we confirm using DFT calculations of reaction barriers and further identify a synergism between the adjacent epoxide and hydroxyl groups on the GO surface. The direct oxidation mechanism at specific oxygen sites offers insight into controlling GO chemical reactivity through surface chemistry manipulations. This insight is critical for furthering our understanding of GO oxidative stress pathways in cytotoxicity as well as for providing rational material design for GO applications that can leverage this reaction.

Abstract
Nanoparticle capping agents are critical for controlling the growth, oxidation state, and final particle size during aqueous synthesis. However, despite the known phytotoxicity of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to plants, it is used to synthesize metal oxide nanoparticles of uniform size and with mesoporous structure. Among the few studies that have investigated how CTAB influences nanoparticle toxicity, CTAB has never been identified as the primary cause of nanoparticle toxicity in environmental systems; rather nanoparticle surface charge or morphology was identified as the driver of toxicity in environmentally relevant systems. In the current study, CTAB release from CTAB surface modified Cu2O nanoparticles (SM-Cu2O NPs) inhibited duckweed (Landoltia punctata) growth, even when administered at subtoxic Cu concentrations. Organic ligands, such as humic acid (HA) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), lessened growth inhibition associated with exposure to SM-Cu2O NPs, likely through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with CTAB. Such results highlight the need for a more holistic approach to nanoparticle surface modification and improved communication between toxicologists and synthetic chemists to develop green alternatives for nanoparticle synthesis.

Abstract
The reduction of Ag+ mediated by natural organic matters has been demonstrated to be an important process of Ag+ transformation and would influence the risks of Ag+ and Ag-containing materials in aquatic environment. Considering the large production of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) and their inevitable release into the environment, the effects of CNMs on Ag transformation are of considerable interest. This study demonstrated that the humic acid-mediated reduction of Ag+ to free Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) in aqueous phase was suppressed by coexisting reduced graphene oxide (rGO). A large amount of Ag+ was reduced on rGO surface, resulting in the generation of AgNPs-rGO composites. rGO at concentrations of 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than those of Ag+ would exhibit significant effects. The X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy study showed that Ag+ was first adsorbed on rGO surface cooperatively with humic acid and then rapidly reduced to AgNPs. The hydroxylic-OH on rGO could participate in the AgNPs formation and was oxidized to carbonyl during the reduction of Ag+. Additionally, the formed AgNPs-rGO had a relatively lower environmental risk compared to AgNPs or rGO alone. Overall, these results improve our understanding of the interaction between CNMs and Ag+ in aquatic systems.

Abstract
Copper based nanoparticles (NPs) are used extensively in industrial and commercial products as sensors, catalysts, surfactants, antimicrobials, and for other purposes. The high production volume and increasing use of copper-based NPs make their ecological risk a concern. Commonly used copper-based NPs are composed of metallic copper or copper oxide (Cu and CuO NPs); however, their environmental toxicity can vary dramatically depending on their physico-chemical properties, such as dissolution, aggregation behavior, and the generation of reactive oxygen species. Here, we investigated the NP dissolution, organismal uptake and aquatic toxicity of Cu and CuO NPs at 0, 0.1, 1, 5 or 10 mg Cu/L using a previously developed multi-species microcosm. This 5-day microcosm assay was comprised of C. reinhardtti, E. coli, D. magna, and D. rerio. We hypothesized that Cu and CuO NPs can elicit differential toxicity to the organisms due to alterations in particle dissolution and variations in organismal uptake. The actual concentrations of dissolved Cu released from the NPs were compared to ionic copper controls (CuCl2) at the same concentrations to determine the relative contribution of particulate and dissolved Cu on organism uptake and toxicity. We found that both NPs had higher uptake in D. magna and zebrafish than equivalent ionic exposures, suggesting that both Cu-based NPs are taken up by organisms. Cu NP exposures significantly inhibited algal growth rate, D. magna survival, and zebrafish hatching while exposure to equivalent concentrations of CuCl2 (dissolved Cu fraction) and CuO NPs did not. This indicates that Cu NPs themselves likely elicited a particle-specific mechanism of toxicity to the test organisms, or a combination effect from ionic Cu and the Cu NPs. Overall, this work was the first study to utilize a small-scale rapid assay designed to evaluate the fate and ecotoxicological impacts of Cu and CuO NPs in a mixed aquatic community.

Abstract
Copper surface after antibacterial test against E. coli was examined in the aspect of corrosion. Results from scanning electron microscope (SEM), grazing incidence X-ray diffractometer (GIXRD) and Raman spectroscopy together confirmed less oxidation on copper surface with the presence of E. coli. The inhibition of the cuprous oxide (Cu2O) layer instead ensured the continuous exposure of copper surface, letting localised corrosion attacks observable and causing a stronger release of copper ions. These phenomena are attributed to the fact that E. coli act as ions reservoirs since high amount of copper accumulation were found by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

[PMID: 30852200 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.01.433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2018] [Revised: 01/16/2019] [Accepted: 01/16/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Commercially available lumber, pressure-treated with micronized copper azole (MCA), has largely replaced other inorganic biocides for residential wood treatment in the USA, yet little is known about how different outdoor environmental conditions impact the release of ionic, nano-scale, or larger (micron-scale) copper from this product. Therefore, we weathered pressure treated lumber for 18 months in five different climates across the continental United States. Copper release was quantified every month and local weather conditions were recorded continuously to determine the extent to which local climate regulated the release of copper from this nano-enabled product during its use phase. Two distinct release trends were observed: In cooler, wetter climates release occurred primarily during the first few months of weathering, as the result of copper leaching from surface/near-surface areas. In warmer, drier climates, less copper was initially released due to limited precipitation. However, as the wood dried and cracked, the exposed copper-bearing surface area increased, leading to increased copper release later in the product lifetime. Single-particle-ICP-MS results from laboratory prepared MCA-wood leachate solutions indicated that a) the predominant form of released copper passed through a filter smaller than 0.45 micrometers and b) released particles were largely resistant to dissolution over the course of 6 wks. Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing was conducted on nonweathered and weathered MCA-wood samples to simulate landfill conditions during their end-of-life (EoL) phase and revealed that MCA wood released <10% of initially embedded copper. Findings from this study provide data necessary to complete a more comprehensive evaluation of the environmental and human health impacts introduced through release of copper from pressure treated lumber utilizing life cycle assessment (LCA).

Abstract
We designed the "catalytic reactivity to nanoparticle" assay (CRNP), which uses a dry powder containing methylene blue (MB) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) to rapidly (2 min) detect metallic nanoparticles in water. Tested with gold (Au) NPs in water, the CRNP response was linearly and reproducibly correlated to the NP surface-area concentration and has a detection limit of 0.3 m2/m3 as the equivalent surface area of Au NPs. We described the heterogeneous catalytic mechanisms on the NP surface by treating the NPs as electrodes, which store and transfer electrons, and comprehensively simulated the kinetics of borohydride hydrolysis, MB reduction, and leuco methylene blue (LMB) oxidation. CRNP was able to assess the catalytic reactivity of multiple engineered NP species in water, including Au, silver, palladium, platinum, and copper oxide (CuO), and quantify them with pre-established calibration curves. In water samples containing known or unknown NP species, CRNP can be reported as an equivalent surface area of gold NPs per volume of solution and directly quantifies NP reactivity in response to electron mediated stimuli, which may become relevant to the environmental fate or safety of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) and ENM-enabled products have emerged as potentially high-performance replacements to conventional materials and chemicals. As such, there is an urgent need to incorporate environmental and human health objectives into ENM selection and design processes. Here, an adapted framework based on the Ashby material selection strategy is presented as an enhanced selection and design process, which includes functional performance as well as environmental and human health considerations. The utility of this framework is demonstrated through two case studies, the design and selection of antimicrobial substances and conductive polymers, including ENMs, ENM-enabled products and their alternatives. Further, these case studies consider both the comparative efficacy and impacts at two scales: (i) a broad scale, where chemical/material classes are readily compared for primary decision-making, and (ii) within a chemical/material class, where physicochemical properties are manipulated to tailor the desired performance and environmental impact profile. Development and implementation of this framework can inform decision-making for the implementation of ENMs to facilitate promising applications and prevent unintended consequences.

Abstract
Exogenous nitric oxide (NO) represents an attractive antibacterial agent because of its ability to both disperse and directly kill bacterial biofilms while avoiding resistance. Due to the challenges associated with administering gaseous NO, NO-releasing macromolecular scaffolds are developed to facilitate NO delivery. This progress report describes the rational design and application of NO-releasing macromolecular scaffolds as antibacterial therapeutics. Special consideration is given to the role of the physicochemical properties of the NO storage vehicles on antibacterial or anti-biofilm activity.

Abstract
The search for new antimicrobial substances has increased in recent years. Antimicrobial nanostructures are one of the most promising alternatives. In this work, titanium dioxide nanotubes were obtained by an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process over electrospun polyvinyl alcohol nanofibers (PVN) at different temperatures with the purpose of obtaining antimicrobial nanostructures with a high specific area. Electrospinning and ALD parameters were studied in order to obtain PVN with smallest diameter and highest deposition rate, respectively. Chamber temperature was a key factor during ALD process and an appropriate titanium dioxide deposition performance was achieved at 200 °C. Subsequently, thermal and morphological analysis by SEM and TEM microscopies revealed hollow nanotubes were obtained after calcination process at 600 °C. This temperature allowed complete polymer removal and influenced the resulting anatase crystallographic structure of titanium dioxide that positively affected their antimicrobial activities. X-ray analysis confirmed the change of titanium dioxide crystallographic structure from amorphous phase of deposited PVN to anatase crystalline structure of nanotubes. These new nanostructures with very large surface areas resulted in interesting antimicrobial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Titanium dioxide nanotubes presented the highest activity against Escherichia coli with 5 log cycles reduction at 200 μg/mL concentration.

Abstract
Over the past ten years, a next-generation approach to combat bacterial contamination has emerged: one which employs nanostructure geometry to deliver lethal mechanical forces causing bacterial cell death. In this review, we first discuss advances in both colloidal and topographical nanostructures shown to exhibit such "mechano-bactericidal" mechanisms of action. Next, we highlight work from pioneering research groups in this area of antibacterials. Finally, we provide suggestions for unexplored research topics that would benefit the field of mechano-bactericidal nanostructures. Traditionally, antibacterial materials are loaded with antibacterial agents with the expectation that these agents will be released in a timely fashion to reach their intended bacterial metabolic target at a sufficient concentration. Such antibacterial approaches, generally categorized as chemical-based, face design drawbacks as compounds diffuse in all directions, leach into the environment, and require replenishing. In contrast, due to their mechanisms of action, mechano-bactericidal nanostructures can benefit from sustainable opportunities. Namely, mechano-bactericidal efficacy needs not replenishing since they are not consumed metabolically, nor are they designed to release or leach compounds. For this same reason, however, their action is limited to the bacterial cells that have made direct contact with mechano-bactericidal nanostructures. As suspended colloids, mechano-bactericidal nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and graphene nanosheets can pierce or slice bacterial membranes. Alternatively, surface topography such as mechano-bactericidal nanopillars and nanospikes can inflict critical membrane damage to microorganisms perched upon them, leading to subsequent cell lysis and death. Despite the infancy of this area of research, materials constructed from these nanostructures show remarkable antibacterial potential worthy of further investigation.

Abstract
A new class of hydrophobic CuO nanosheets is introduced by functionalization of the cupric oxide surface with p-xylene, toluene, hexane, methylcyclohexane, and chlorobenzene. The resulting nanosheets exhibit a wide range of contact angles from 146° (p-xylene) to 27° (chlorobenzene) due to significant changes in surface composition induced by functionalization, as revealed by XPS and ATR-FTIR spectroscopies and computational modeling. Aromatic adsorbates are stable even up to 250-350 °C since they covalently bind to the surface as alkoxides, upon reaction with the surface as shown by DFT calculations and FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The resulting hydrophobicity correlates with H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) stability, which therefore provides a practical gauge of hydrophobicity.

Abstract
Noble metal-based nanomaterials have shown promise as potential enzyme mimetics, but the facet effect and underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Herein, with a combined experimental and theoretical approach, we unveil that palladium (Pd) nanocrystals exhibit facet-dependent oxidase and peroxidase-like activities that endow them with excellent antibacterial properties via generation of reactive oxygen species. The antibacterial efficiency of Pd nanocrystals against Gram-positive bacteria is consistent with the extent of their enzyme-like activity, that is {100}-faceted Pd cubes with higher activities kill bacteria more effectively than {111}-faceted Pd octahedrons. Surprisingly, a reverse trend of antibacterial activity is observed against Gram-negative bacteria, with Pd octahedrons displaying stronger penetration into bacterial membranes than Pd nanocubes, thereby exerting higher antibacterial activity than the latter. Our findings provide a deeper understanding of facet-dependent enzyme-like activities and might advance the development of noble metal-based nanomaterials with both enhanced and targeted antibacterial activities.

Abstract
Infectious diseases can be transmitted and they cause a significant burden on public health globally. They are the greatest world killers and it is estimated that they are responsible for the demise of over 17 million people annually. The impact of these diseases is greater in the developing countries. People with compromised immune systems and children are the most affected. Infectious diseases may be caused by bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. The treatment of infectious diseases is hampered by simultaneous resistance to multiple drugs, indicating that there is a serious and pressing need to develop new therapeutics that can overcome drug resistance. This review will focus on the recent reports of metal-based nanoparticles that are potential therapeutics for the treatment of infectious diseases and their biological efficacy (in vitro and in vivo).
