Abstract
Medical devices such as venous catheters (VCs) and urinary catheters (UCs) are widely used in the hospital setting. However, the implantation of these devices is often accompanied by complications. About 60 to 70% of nosocomial infections (NIs) are linked to biofilms. The main complication is the ability of microorganisms to adhere to surfaces and form biofilms which protect them and help them to persist in the host. Indeed, by crossing the skin barrier, the insertion of VC inevitably allows skin flora or accidental environmental contaminants to access the underlying tissues and cause fatal complications like bloodstream infections (BSIs). In fact, 80,000 central venous catheters-BSIs (CVC-BSIs)-mainly occur in intensive care units (ICUs) with a death rate of 12 to 25%. Similarly, catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CA-UTIs) are the most commonlyhospital-acquired infections (HAIs) worldwide.These infections represent up to 40% of NIs.In this review, we present a summary of biofilm formation steps. We provide an overview of two main and important infections in clinical settings linked to medical devices, namely the catheter-asociated bloodstream infections (CA-BSIs) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CA-UTIs), and highlight also the most multidrug resistant bacteria implicated in these infections. Furthermore, we draw attention toseveral useful prevention strategies, and advanced antimicrobial and antifouling approaches developed to reduce bacterial colonization on catheter surfaces and the incidence of the catheter-related infections.

Abstract
The demand for paper-based packaging materials as an alternative to incumbent disposable petroleum-derived polymers for food packaging applications is ever-growing. However, typical paper-based formats are not suitable for use in unconventional applications due to inherent limitations (e.g., excessive hydrophilicity, lack antimicrobial ability), and accordingly, enabling new capabilities is necessity. Herein, a simple and environmentally friendly strategy was proposed to introduce antimicrobial and hydrophobic functions to cellulose paper through successive chemical grafting of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) and cinnamaldehyde (CA). The results revealed that cellulose paper not only showed long-term antibacterial effect on different bacteria, but also inhibited a wide range of fungi. Encouragingly, the modified paper, which is fluorine-free, displays a high contact angle of 119.7°. Thus, even in the wet state, the modified paper can still maintain good mechanical strength. Meanwhile, the multifunctional composite papers have excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Compared with ordinary cellulose paper, multifunctional composite paper can effectively prolong the shelf life of strawberries. Therefore, the multifunctional composite paper represents good application potential as a fruit packaging material.

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:10590-10600. [PMID: 38343039 PMCID: PMC10910468 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c15125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
To inhibit viral infection, it is necessary for the surface of polypropylene (PP), a polymer of significant industrial relevance, to possess biocidal properties. However, due to its low surface energy, PP weakly interacts with other organic molecules. The biocidal effects of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) have inspired the development of nonwoven PP fibers with surface-bound quaternary ammonium (QA). Despite this advancement, there is limited knowledge regarding the durability of these coatings against scratching and abrasion. It is hypothesized that the durability could be improved if the thickness of the coating layer were controlled and increased. We herein functionalized PP with three-dimensionally surface-grafted poly(N-benzyl-4-vinylpyridinium bromide) (PBVP) by a simple and rapid method involving graft polymerization and benzylation and examined the influence of different factors on the antiviral effect of the resulting plastic by using a plaque assay. The thickness of the PBVP coating, surface roughness, and amount of QACs, which jointly determine biocidal activity, could be controlled by adjusting the duration and intensity of the ultraviolet irradiation used for grafting. The best-performing sample reduced the viral infection titer of an enveloped model virus (bacteriophage ϕ6) by approximately 5 orders of magnitude after 60 min of contact and retained its antiviral activity after surface polishing-simulated scratching and abrasion, which indicated the localization of QACs across the coating interior. Our method may expand the scope of application to resin plates as well as fibers of PP. Given that the developed approach is not limited to PP and may be applied to other low-surface-energy olefinic polymers such as polyethylene and polybutene, our work paves the way for the fabrication of a wide range of biocidal surfaces for use in diverse environments, helping to prevent viral infection.

Abstract
In recent years, dental resin materials have become increasingly popular for cavity filling. However, these materials can shrink during polymerization, leading to microleakages that enable bacteria to erode tooth tissue and cause secondary caries. As a result, there is great clinical demand for the development of antibacterial resins. The principle of antibacterial resin includes contact killing and filler-release killing of bacteria. For contact killing, quaternary ammonium salts (QACs) and antibacterial peptides (AMPs) can be added. For filler-release killing, chlorhexidine (CHX) and nanoparticles are used. These antibacterial agents are effective against gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and more. Among them, QACs has a lasting antibacterial effect, and silver nanoparticles even have a certain ability to kill viruses. Biocompatibility-wise, QACs, AMPs, and CHX have low cytotoxicity to cells when added into the resin. However, nanoparticles with smaller particle sizes have higher cytotoxicity. In terms of mechanical properties, QACs, AMPs, and CHX do not negatively affect the resin. However, the addition of magnesium oxide can have a negative impact. This paper reviews the types and antibacterial principles of commonly used antibacterial resins in recent years, evaluates their antibacterial effect, biological safety, and mechanical properties, and provides references for selecting clinical filling materials.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an alternative treatment mainly for cancer but also for bacterial infections. This treatment dates back to 1900 when a German medical school graduate Oscar Raab found a photodynamic effect while doing research for his doctoral dissertation with Professor Hermann von Tappeiner. Unexpectedly, Raab revealed that the toxicity of acridine on paramecium depends on the intensity of light in his laboratory. Photodynamic therapy is therefore based on the administration of a photosensitizer with subsequent light irradiation within the absorption maxima of this substance followed by reactive oxygen species formation and finally cell death. Although this treatment is not a novelty, there is an endeavor for various modifications to the therapy. For example, selectivity and efficiency of the photosensitizer, as well as irradiation with various types of light sources are still being modified to improve final results of the photodynamic therapy. The main aim of this review is to summarize anticancer and antibacterial modifications, namely various compounds, approaches, and techniques, to enhance the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Medical device-associated infections pose major clinical challenges that emphasize the need for improved anti-infective biomaterials. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a frequently used elastomeric biomaterial in medical devices, is inherently prone to bacterial attachment and associated infection formation. Here, PDMS surface modification strategy is presented consisting of a cross-linked lyotropic liquid crystal hydrogel microparticle coating with antibacterial functionality. The microparticle coating composed of cross-linked triblock copolymers (diacrylated Pluronic F127) was deposited on PDMS by physical immobilization via interpenetrating polymer network formation. The formed coating served as a substrate for covalent immobilization of a potent antimicrobial peptide (AMP), RRPRPRPRPWWWW-NH2, yielding high contact-killing antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, the coating was assessed for its ability to selectively host polar, amphiphilic, and nonpolar drugs, resulting in sustained release profiles. The results of this study put forward a versatile PDMS modification strategy for both contact-killing antibacterial surface properties and drug-delivery capabilities, offering a solution for medical device-associated infection prevention.

Abstract
The risk of fomite-mediated transmission in the clinic is substantially increasing amid the recent COVID-19 pandemic as personal protective equipment (PPE) of hospital workers is easily contaminated by direct contact with infected patients. In this context, it is crucial to devise a means to reduce such transmission. Herein, we report an antimicrobial, antiviral, and antibiofouling trifunctional polymer that can be easily coated onto the surface of medical protective clothing to effectively prevent pathogen contamination on the PPE. The coating layer is formed on the surfaces of PPE by the simple spray coating of an aqueous solution of the trifunctional polymer, poly(dodecyl methacrylate (DMA)-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA)-quaternary ammonium (QA)). To establish an optimal ratio of antifouling and antimicrobial functional groups, we performed antifouling, antibacterial, and antiviral tests using four different ratios of the polymers. Antifouling and bactericidal results were assessed using Staphylococcus aureus, a typical pathogenic bacterium that induces an upper respiratory infection. Regardless of the molar ratio, polymer-coated PPE surfaces showed considerable antiadhesion (∼65-75%) and antibacterial (∼75-87%) efficacies soon after being in contact with pathogens and maintained their capability for at least 24 h, which is sufficient for disposable PPEs. Further antiviral tests using coronaviruses showed favorable results with PPE coated at two specific ratios (3.5:6:0.5 and 3.5:5.5:1) of poly(DMA-PEGMA-QA). Moreover, biocompatibility assessments using the two most effective polymer ratios showed no recognizable local or systemic inflammatory responses in mice, suggesting the potential of this polymer for immediate use in the field.

Abstract
Enhancing the lubrication property and bacterial resistance is extremely important for interventional biomedical implants to avoid soft tissue damage and biofilm formation. In this study, a zwitterionic phosphorylcholine coating (PMPC) was successfully developed to achieve surface functionalization of a polyurethane (PU)-based ureteral stent via subsurface "grafting from" photopolymerization. Typical surface characterizations such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and surface wettability and morphology analyses examined by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that the phosphorylcholine polymer was grafted on the substrate with a thickness of 180 nm. Additionally, the tribological experiment performed by a universal material tester showed that the lubrication performance of PU-PMPC was significantly improved compared with that of PU. The in vitro experiments indicated that the PMPC coating was biocompatible and stably modified on the surface of the substrate with an excellent bacterial resistance rate of >90%. Furthermore, the result of the in vivo experiment showed that the anti-encrustation performance of the surface-functionalized ureteral stent was better than that of the bare ureteral stent. The great enhancement in the lubrication, bacterial resistance, and anti-encrustation properties of the phosphorylcholine coating was thought to be due to the hydration effects of the zwitterionic charges. In summary, the bioinspired zwitterionic phosphorylcholine coating developed herein achieved significantly improved lubrication, bacterial resistance, and anti-encrustation performances and could be used as a convenient approach for surface functionalization of interventional biomedical implants.

Abstract
Biocides are currently considered the first line of defense against foodborne pathogens in hospitals or food processing facilities due to the versatility and efficiency of their chemical active ingredients. Understanding the biological mechanisms responsible for their increased efficiency, especially when used against foodborne pathogens on contaminated surfaces and materials, represents an essential first step in the implementation of efficient strategies for disinfection as choosing an unsuitable product can lead to antibiocide resistance or antibiotic–biocide cross-resistance. This review describes these biological mechanisms for the most common foodborne pathogens and focuses mainly on the antipathogen effect, highlighting the latest developments based on in vitro and in vivo studies. We focus on biocides with inhibitory effects against foodborne bacteria (e.g., Escherichia spp., Klebsiella spp., Staphylococcus spp., Listeria spp., Campylobacter spp.), aiming to understand their biological mechanisms of action by looking at the most recent scientific evidence in the field.

Hyperbranched Polyesters Based on Indole- and Lignin-Derived Monomeric Aromatic Aldehydes as Effective Nonionic Antimicrobial Coatings with Excellent Biocompatibility. Biomacromolecules 2022; 23:150-162.

Abstract
This research aims to investigate nonionic hyperbranched polyesters (HBPs) derived from indole and lignin resources as new nontoxic antimicrobial coatings. Three nonionic HBPs with zero to two methoxy ether substituents on each benzene ring in the polymer backbones were synthesized by melt-polycondensation of three corresponding AB2 monomers. The molecular structures and thermal properties of the obtained HBPs were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry analyses. These HBPs were conveniently spin-coated on a silicon substrate, which exhibited significant antibacterial effect against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis). The presence of methoxy substituents enhanced the antimicrobial effect, and the resulting polymers showed negligible leakage in water. Finally, the polymers with the methoxy functionality exhibited excellent biocompatibility according to the results of hemolysis and MTT assay, which may facilitate their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Self-disinfecting surfaces are a current pressing need for public health and safety in view of the current COVID-19 pandemic, where the keenly felt worldwide repercussions have highlighted the importance of infection control, frequent disinfection, and proper hygiene. Because of its potential impact upon real-world translation into downstream applications, there has been much research interest in multiple disciplines such as materials science, chemistry, biology, and engineering. Various antimicrobial technologies have been developed and currently applied on surfaces in public spaces, such as elevator buttons and escalator handrails. These technologies are mainly based on conventional methods of grafting quaternary ammonium salts (QACs) such as benzalkonium chloride or the immobilization of metal species of silver or copper. However, neither the long-term efficacy nor the fast-killing properties have been proven, and the future repercussions from extended use, such as environmental hazards and the induction of MDR development, is unknown. Nanostructured surfaces with excellent antimicrobial activities have been claimed to be the next generation of self-disinfecting surfaces with various promising applications and passive antimicrobial mechanisms, without the potential repercussions of active ingredient overuse. In this Account, we briefly introduce the concept of mechanobactericidal action realized by these nanostructured surfaces first discovered on cicada wings. The elimination of microbes on the surface was actualized by the physical rupture of the microbe cell wall by nanoprotusions, without any involvement of chemical species. By mimicking the physical features of naturally occurring biocidal surfaces, the fabrication of nanostructures on various substrates such as titania, silicon, and polymers has been well described. Observations of the dependence of their antimicrobial efficacy on physical characteristics such as height, density, and rigidity have also been documented. However, the complex fabrication of such nanostructures remains the main drawback preventing its widespread application. We outline our efforts in fabricating a series of zinc-based nanostructured materials with facile and generally applicable wet chemistry methods, including nanodaggered zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-L) and ZnO nanoneedles. In our investigations, we discovered that there were additional modes of action that contributed to the excellent biocidal activities of our materials. The impact of surface chemistry and charge was partially responsible for the selectivity and efficacy of ZIF-L-coated surfaces, where the positively charged surfaces were able to attract and adhere negatively charged bacteria to the surface. The combination of semiconductor ZnO nanoneedles on electron-donating substrates allowed for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), realizing the remote killing of bacteria unadhered to the nanostructured surface. Additionally, we demonstrate several real-life applications of the synthesized materials, underscoring the importance of materials development suited for scale-up and eventual translation to potential applications and commercial end products.

Abstract
The simultaneous introduction of two new functionalities into the same polymeric substrate under mild reaction conditions is an interesting and important topic. Herein, dual-functional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces with antibacterial and antifouling properties were conveniently developed via a novel Y-shaped asymmetric dual-functional photoiniferter (Y-iniferter). The Y-iniferter was initially immobilized onto the PDMS surface by radical coupling under visible light irradiation. Afterwards, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) brushes and antibacterial ionic liquid (IL) fragments were simultaneously immobilized on the Y-iniferter-modified PDMS surfaces by combining the sulfur(VI)-fluoride exchange (SuFEx) click reaction and UV-photoinitiated polymerization. Experiments using E. coli as a model bacterium demonstrated that the modified PDMS surfaces had both the expected antibacterial properties of the IL fragments and the excellent antifouling properties of PHEMA brushes. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the modified PDMS surfaces to L929 cells was examined in vitro with a CCK-8 assay, which showed that the modified surfaces maintained excellent cytocompatibility. Briefly, this strategy of constructing an antibacterial and antifouling PDMS surface has the advantages of simplicity and convenience and might inspire the construction of diverse dual-functional surfaces by utilizing PDMS more effectively.

One-step zwitterionization and quaternization of thick PDMAEMA layer grafted through subsurface-initiated ATRP for robust antibiofouling and antibacterial coating on PDMS. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 610:234-245.

Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate the grafting of thick poly((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) layer on PDMS via subsurface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SSI-ATRP). The self-migration of DMAEMA monomers into the subsurface of PDMS is proven to be the dominant factor for the success of SSI-ATRP. The as-prepared thick microscale graft layer on PDMS shows much better abrasion resistance than nanoscale graft layer obtained by conventional surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) under identical condition. Taking advantage of the tertiary amines of PDMAEMA, the simultaneous zwitterionization and quaternization of the PDMAEMA thick layer is realized through a facile one-step process. The effect of zwitterionization and quaternization degree on the antibiofouling and antibacterial properties is investigated. The results show that a relatively high zwitterionization degree (75 mol%) and a low quaternization degree (25 mol%) exhibit a good well-balanced effect on both fouling repellence and bactericidal activity. This work may lead to the development of robust bifunctional antibiofouling and antibacterial surfaces via SSI-ATRP strategy.

Abstract
Engineering of self-disinfecting surfaces to constrain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 is a challenging task for the scientific community because the human coronavirus spreads through respiratory droplets. Titania (TiO2) nanocomposite antimicrobial coatings is one of the ideal remedies to disinfect pathogens (virus, bacteria, fungi) from common surfaces under light illumination. The photocatalytic disinfection efficiency of recent TiO2 nanocomposite antimicrobial coatings for surfaces, dental and orthopaedic implants are emphasized in this review. Mostly, inorganic metals (e.g. copper (Cu), silver (Ag), manganese (Mn), etc), non-metals (e.g. fluorine (F), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P)) and two-dimensional materials (e.g. MXenes, MOF, graphdiyne) were incorporated with TiO2 to regulate the charge transfer mechanism, surface porosity, crystallinity, and the microbial disinfection efficiency. The antimicrobial activity of TiO2 coatings was evaluated against the most crucial pathogenic microbes such as Escherichia coli, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Legionella pneumophila, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, T2 bacteriophage, H1N1, HCoV-NL63, vesicular stomatitis virus, bovine coronavirus. Silane functionalizing agents and polymers were used to coat the titanium (Ti) metal implants to introduce superhydrophobic features to avoid microbial adhesion. TiO2 nanocomposite coatings in dental and orthopaedic metal implants disclosed exceptional bio-corrosion resistance, durability, biocompatibility, bone-formation capability, and long-term antimicrobial efficiency. Moreover, the commercial trend, techno-economics, challenges, and prospects of antimicrobial nanocomposite coatings are also discussed briefly.

Abstract
The marked increase in bacterial colonization of medical devices and multiple drug resistance to traditional antibiotics underline the pressing need for developing novel antibacterial surface coatings. In the present investigation, natural polyphenol tannic acid (TA)-capped silver nanoparticles (TA-Ag NPs) were synthesized via an environmentally friendly and sustainable one-step redox reaction under UV irradiation with a simultaneous and uniform deposition on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and other substrate surfaces. In the synthesis process, the dihydroxyphenyl and trihydroxyphenyl groups of TA actively participate in Ag+ reduction, forming co-ordination linkages with Ag NPs and bestowing the deposition on the PDMS surface. The physico-chemical features of TA-Ag NPs were characterized in detail. Microscopic examination, surface elemental analysis, and wettability measurements clearly reveal the decoration of TA-Ag NPs on the substrate surfaces. The modified PDMS surfaces can kill the adhered bacteria or resist the bacterial adhesion, and no live bacteria can be found on their surfaces. Most importantly, the modified PDMS surfaces exhibit predominant antibacterial effects both in vitro in the catheter bridge model and in vivo in a rat subcutaneous infection model. On the other hand, the functionalized surfaces exhibit only a negligible level of cytotoxicity against L929 mouse fibroblasts with no side effects on the major organs of Sprague-Dawley rats after implantation, indicating their biocompatibility for potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanogel coatings provide a promising antimicrobial strategy against biomedical implant-associated infections. Nanogels can create a hydrated surface layer to promote antifouling properties effectively. Further modification of nanogels with quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) potentiates antimicrobial activity owing to their positive charges along with the presence of a membrane-intercalating alkyl chain. This study effectively demonstrates that poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-[3(dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide) (P(NIPAM-co-DMAPMA)-based nanogel coatings possess antifouling behavior against S. aureus ATCC 12600, a Gram-positive bacterium. Through the tertiary amine in the DMAPMA comonomer, nanogels are quaternized with a 1-bromo-dodecane chain via an N-alkylation reaction. The alkylation introduces the antibacterial activity due to the bacterial membrane binding and the intercalating ability of the aliphatic QAC. Subsequently, the quaternized nanogels enable the formation of intraparticle hydrophobic domains because of intraparticle hydrophobic interactions of the aliphatic chains allowing for Triclosan incorporation. The coating with Triclosan-loaded nanogels shows a killing efficacy of up to 99.99% of adhering bacteria on the surface compared to nonquaternized nanogel coatings while still possessing an antifouling activity. This powerful multifunctional coating for combating biomaterial-associated infection is envisioned to greatly impact the design approaches for future clinically applied coatings.

Abstract
Hyperbranched polymers have garnered much attention due to attractive properties and wide applications, such as drug-controlled release, stimuli-responsive nano-objects, photosensitive materials and catalysts. Herein, two types of novel hyperbranched poly(ester-enamine) (hb-PEEa) were designed and synthesized via the spontaneous amino-yne click reaction of A2 monomer (1, 3-bis(4-piperidyl)-propane (A2a ) or piperazine (A2b )) and B3 monomer (trimethylolpropanetripropiolate). According to Flory's hypothesis, gelation is an intrinsic problem in an ideal A2 +B3 polymerization system. By controlling the polymerization conditions, such as monomer concentration, molar ratio and rate of addition, a non-ideal A2 +B3 polymerization system can be established to avoid gelation and to synthesize soluble hb-PEEa. Due to abundant unreacted alkynyl groups in periphery, the hb-PEEa can be further functionalized by different amino compounds or their derivates. The as-prepared amphiphilic PEG-hb-PEEa copolymer can readily self-assemble into micelles in water, which can be used as surfactant to stabilize Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) during reduction of NaBH4 in aqueous solution. As a demonstration, the as-prepared PEG-hb-PEEa-supported AuNPs demonstrate good dispersion in water, solvent stability and remarkable catalytic activity for reduction of nitrobenzene compounds.
