Xiao H, Zhou S. Synergistic antibacterial effect and mechanism between Cu 2O nanoparticles and quaternary ammonium salt in moisture-curable acrylic coatings. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2024; 238:113914. [PMID: 38663310 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Combining with various antibacterial mechanisms is the preferred strategy to fabricate coatings with effective antibacterial performance. Herein, Cu2O nanoparticles and dimethyloctadecyl [3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] ammonium chloride, a kind of quaternary ammonium salt (QAS), were simultaneously incorporated into a moisture-curable acrylic resin in order to achieve both contact-killing and release-killing abilities for antibacterial coatings. The surface morphology, surface composition and basic properties of the coatings were thoroughly characterized. The antibacterial performance of the coatings was determined by in-vitro bacteriostatic test. Under the constant total mass fraction of antibacterial agents, both Cu2O and QAS content possessed the highest value on the coating surface at Cu2O/QAS mass ratio of 1:1, and correspondingly, the coatings reached sterilizing rate above 99 % against both E. coli and S. loihica, indicating the existence of synergistic effect between Cu2O and QAS. The synergistic antibacterial mechanism of the coatings involved two aspects. Firstly, the combination of contact-killing and release-killing biocides resulted in high bactericidal and antibiofilm activity against different bacteria. Further, the grafting of QAS molecules on the surface of Cu2O particles brought about the spontaneous migration of nanoparticles to the coating surface. The interaction between Cu2O and QAS also inhibited the phase separation of QAS and prolonged the release of Cu2+ at the same time. The coatings, therefore, exhibited stable antibacterial performance at varied service conditions.

Abstract
Naturally occurring and synthetic nanostructured surfaces have been widely reported to resist microbial colonization. The majority of these studies have shown that both bacterial and fungal cells are killed upon contact and subsequent surface adhesion to such surfaces. This occurs because the presence of high-aspect-ratio structures can initiate a self-driven mechanical rupture of microbial cells during the surface adsorption process. While this technology has received a large amount of scientific and medical interest, one important question still remains: what factors drive microbial death on the surface? In this work, the interplay between microbial-surface adhesion, cell elasticity, cell membrane rupture forces, and cell lysis at the microbial-nanostructure biointerface during adsorptive processes was assessed using a combination of live confocal laser scanning microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, in situ amplitude atomic force microscopy, and single-cell force spectroscopy. Specifically, the adsorptive behavior and nanomechanical properties of live Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) bacterial cells, as well as the fungal species Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans, were assessed on unmodified and nanostructured titanium surfaces. Unmodified titanium and titanium surfaces with nanostructures were used as model substrates for investigation. For all microbial species, cell elasticity, rupture force, maximum cell-surface adhesion force, the work of adhesion, and the cell-surface tether behavior were compared to the relative cell death observed for each surface examined. For cells with a lower elastic modulus, lower force to rupture through the cell, and higher work of adhesion, the surfaces had a higher antimicrobial activity, supporting the proposed biocidal mode of action for nanostructured surfaces. This study provides direct quantification of the differences observed in the efficacy of nanostructured antimicrobial surface as a function of microbial species indicating that a universal, antimicrobial surface architecture may be hard to achieve.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 653:540-550. [PMID: 37729761 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.09.097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are ideal alternative antibacterial reagents for rapid and effective sterilization. Although a variety of ROS-based antimicrobial strategies have been developed, many are still limited by their inefficiency. Herein, we report the synthesis of the Ag-MXene nanozyme, which have superior peroxidase-like activity for antibacterial applications. As a result, Ag-MXene nanozyme can efficiently increase the level of intracellular ROS, converting H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals that effectively kill both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and disrupting the bacterial biofilm formation. Moreover, a sensitive and selective colorimetric biosensor was constructed for assaying cholesterol based on the Ag-MXene's prominent peroxidase-mimicking activity and the cholesterol oxidase cascade reaction. The biosensor exhibits high performance with a linear cholesterol detection range of 2-800 μM, and a detection limit of 0.6 μM. Ag-MXene nanozyme can be used for the rapid detection of cholesterol in serum without complicated sample pretreatment. Collectively, it is conceivable that the proposed Ag-MXene nanozyme could be used as a biocide and as a cholesterol sensor. This study provides a broad prospect for the rapid detection and sterilization of MXene nanozymes in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Biomimetic materials are able to mimic the structure and functional properties of native tissues especially natural oral tissues. They have attracted growing attention for their potential to achieve configurable and functional reconstruction in oral medicine. Though tremendous progress has been made regarding biomimetic materials, significant challenges still remain in terms of controversy on the mechanism of tooth tissue regeneration, lack of options for manufacturing such materials and insufficiency of in vivo experimental tests in related fields. In this review, the biomimetic materials used in oral medicine are summarized systematically, including tooth defect, tooth loss, periodontal diseases and maxillofacial bone defect. Various theoretical foundations of biomimetic materials research are reviewed, introducing the current and pertinent results. The benefits and limitations of these materials are summed up at the same time. Finally, challenges and potential of this field are discussed. This review provides the framework and support for further research in addition to giving a generally novel and fundamental basis for the utilization of biomimetic materials in the future.

Abstract
The morphology of regular and uniform arrays of black silicon structures was evaluated for bactericidal efficacy against gram-positive, non-motileStaphylococcusepidermidis(S.epidermidis). In this study, uniform and regular arrays of black silicon structures were fabricated using nanosphere lithography and deep reactive ion etching. The effects of nanomorphology on bacterial killing were systematically evaluated using silicon nanostructures with pitches ranging from 300 to 1400 nm pitch on spherical cocci approximately 500 to 1000 nm in diameter. Our results show that nanostructure morphology factors such as height and roughness do not directly determine bactericidal efficacy. Instead, the spacing between nanostructures plays a crucial role in determining how bacteria are stretched and lysed. Nanostructures with smaller pitches are more effective at killing bacteria, and an 82 ± 3% enhancement in bactericidal efficacy was observed for 300 nm pitch nanoneedles surface compared to the flat control substrates.
