Abstract
Pathogenic infection leads to excessive senescent cell accumulation and stagnation of wound healing. To address these issues, we devise and develop a hydrogen selenide (H2Se)-evolving bio-heterojunction (bio-HJ) composed of graphene oxide (GO) and FeSe2 to deracinate bacterial infection, suppress cellular senescence and remedy recalcitrant infected wounds. Excited by near-infrared (NIR) laser, the bio-HJ exerts desired photothermal and photodynamic effects, resulting in rapid disinfection. The crafted bio-HJ could also evolve gaseous H2Se to inhibit cellular senescence and dampen inflammation. Mechanism studies reveal the anti-senescence effects of H2Se-evolving bio-HJ are mediated by selenium pathway and glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1). More critically, in vivo experiments authenticate that the H2Se-evolving bio-HJ could inhibit cellular senescence and potentiate wound regeneration in rats. As envisioned, our work not only furnishes the novel gasotransmitter-delivering bio-HJ for chronic infected wounds, but also gets insight into the development of anti-senescence biomaterials.

Abstract
Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on medical devices represent one of the most urgent and critical challenges in modern healthcare. These issues not only pose serious threats to patient health by increasing the risk of infections but also exert a considerable economic burden on national healthcare systems due to prolonged hospital stays and additional treatments. To address this challenge, there is a need for smart, customized biomaterials for medical device fabrication, particularly through the development of surface modification strategies that prevent bacterial adhesion and the growth of mature biofilms. This review explores three bioinspired approaches through which antibacterial and antiadhesive coatings can be engineered to exhibit smart, stimuli-responsive features. This responsiveness is greatly valuable as it provides the coatings with a controlled, on-demand antibacterial response that is activated only in the presence of bacteria, functioning as self-defensive coatings. Such coatings can be designed to release antibacterial agents or change their surface properties/conformation in response to specific stimuli, like changes in pH, temperature, or the presence of bacterial enzymes. This targeted approach minimizes the risk of developing antibiotic resistance and reduces the need for continuous, high-dose antibacterial treatments, thereby preserving the natural microbiome and further reducing healthcare costs. The final part of the review reports a critical analysis highlighting the potential improvements and future evolutions regarding antimicrobial self-defensive coatings and their validation.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:23139-23146. [PMID: 39045401 PMCID: PMC11263970 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03249g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have provided promising potential in the biomedical field, including the ability to overcome various health problems. Diosgenin is used to treat multiple health disorders but has very low solubility in water. Using ZnO-NPs as a diosgenin delivery vehicle was expected to increase the solubility of diosgenin, which would affect its bioavailability. This study demonstrates phytofabrication and characterization of ZnO-NPs, loading of diosgenin onto the ZnO-NPs, characterization of the product (ZnO-NPs/diosgenin), and evaluations of diosgenin release. Phytofabrication of the ZnO-NPs was carried out with zinc precursors and Hibiscus tiliaceus leaf extract (HLE) obtained with various extraction solvents. To explore the potential of using the ZnO-NPs as a diosgenin delivery vehicle, diosgenin release from the ZnO-NPs/diosgenin was studied. Based on the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results, ZnO-NPs with high purity have been successfully fabricated. Nano-sized particles were detected using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), revealing the smallest particle size of 45.924 ± 27.910 nm obtained from the methanol extract with the zinc acetate precursor. The ZnO-NPs had hexagonal wurtzite and rod-like structures. Diosgenin was successfully added to the ZnO-NPs with loadings of 79.972% for ZnO-HLMEA-D500 (ZnO-NPs/diosgenin produced by doping with a 500 μg mL-1 of diosgenin solution) and 39.775% for ZnO-HLMEA-D1000 (ZnO-NPs/diosgenin produced by doping with a 1000 μg mL-1 of diosgenin solution). The solubilities of diosgenin from ZnO-HLMEA-D500 and ZnO-HLMEA-D1000 were higher than that of free diosgenin, confirming that ZnO-NPs have potential as delivery vehicles for diosgenin and conceivably other water-insoluble drugs.

Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are antibiotics with the potential to address antimicrobial resistance. However, their translation to the clinic is hampered by issues such as off-target toxicity and low stability in biological media. Stimuli-responsive delivery from polyelectrolyte complexes offers a simple avenue to address these limitations, wherein delivery is triggered by changes occurring during microbial infection. The review first provides an overview of pH-responsive delivery, which exploits the intrinsic pH-responsive nature of polyelectrolytes as a mechanism to deliver these antimicrobials. The examples included illustrate the challenges faced when developing these systems, in particular balancing antimicrobial efficacy and stability, and the potential of this approach to prepare switchable surfaces or nanoparticles for intracellular delivery. The review subsequently highlights the use of other stimuli associated with microbial infection, such as the expression of degrading enzymes or changes in temperature. Polyelectrolyte complexes with dual stimuli-response based on pH and temperature are also discussed. Finally, the review presents a summary and an outlook of the challenges and opportunities faced by this field. This review is expected to encourage researchers to develop stimuli-responsive polyelectrolyte complexes that increase the stability of AMPs while providing targeted delivery, and thereby facilitate the translation of these antimicrobials.

Abstract
The advent of implanted medical devices has greatly improved the quality of life and increased longevity. However, infection remains a significant risk because bacteria can colonize device surfaces and form biofilms that are resistant to antibiotics and the host's immune system. Several factors contribute to this resistance, including heterogeneous biochemical and pH microenvironments that can affect bacterial growth and interfere with antibiotic biochemistry; dormant regions in the biofilm with low oxygen, pH, and metabolites; slow bacterial growth and division; and poor antibody penetration through the biofilm, which may also be regions with poor acid product clearance. Measuring pH in biofilms is thus key to understanding their biochemistry and offers potential routes to detect and treat latent infections. This review covers the causes of biofilm pH changes and simulations, general findings of metabolite-dependent pH gradients, methods for measuring pH in biofilms, effects of pH on biofilms, and pH-targeted antimicrobial-based approaches.

Abstract
Self-defensive antimicrobial surfaces are of interest because they can inhibit bacterial colonization while minimizing unnecessary antimicrobial release in the absence of a bacterial challenge. One self-defensive approach uses self-assembly to first deposit a submonolayer coating of polyelectrolyte microgels and subsequently load those microgels by complexation with small-molecule antimicrobials. The microgel/antimicrobial complexation strength is a key parameter that controls the ability of the antimicrobial both to remain sequestered within the microgels when exposed to medium and to release in response to a bacterial challenge. Here we study the relative complexation strengths of two FDA-approved cationic antibiotics─colistin (polymyxin E) and polymyxin B─with microgels of poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS). These polymyxins are similar cyclic polypeptides with +5 charge at pH 7.4. However, polymyxin B substitutes an aromatic ring for a dimethyl moiety in colistin, and this aromaticity can influence complexation via π and hydrophobic interactions. Coarse-grained molecular dynamics shows that the free-energy change associated with polymyxin B/PSS complexation is more negative than that of colistin/PSS complexation. Experimentally, in situ optical microscopy of microgel deswelling shows that both antibiotics load quickly from low-ionic-strength phosphate buffer. The enhanced polymyxin B/PSS complexation strength is then manifested by subsequent exposure to flowing antibiotic-free buffer with varying NaCl concentration. Microgels loaded with polymyxin B remain stably deswollen to higher salt concentrations than do colistin/PSS microgels. Importantly, exposing loaded microgels to E. coli in nutrient-free-flowing phosphate buffer shows that bacteria are killed by physical contact with the loaded microgels consistent with the contact-transfer mechanism of self-defensiveness. In vitro culture experiments show that these same surfaces, nevertheless, support the adhesion, spreading and proliferation of human fetal osteoblasts. These findings suggest a pathway to create a self-defensive antimicrobial surface effective under physiological conditions based on the nonmetabolic bacteria-triggered release of FDA-approved antibiotics.

Abstract
Antiseptic polymer gel-surfactant complexes were prepared by incorporating the low-molecular-weight cationic disinfectant cetylpyridinium chloride into the oppositely charged, slightly cross-linked polymer matrices. Three types of polymers were used: copolymers of acrylamide and sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate; copolymers of acrylamide and sodium methacrylate; copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and sodium methacrylate. It was shown that the rate of the release of the cationic disinfectant from the oppositely charged polymer gels could be tuned in a fairly broad range by varying the concentration of the disinfectant, the degree of swelling, and degree of cross-linking of the gel and the content/type of anionic repeat units in the polymer matrix. Polymer-surfactant complexes were demonstrated to reduce SARS-CoV-2 titer by seven orders of magnitude in as little as 5 s. The complexes retained strong virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2 for at least one week.

Abstract
Infections are regarded as the most severe complication associated with human health, which are urgent to be solved. Stimuli-responsive materials are appealing therapeutic platforms for antibacterial treatments, which provide great potential for accurate theranostics. In this review, the advantages, the response mechanisms, and the key design principles of stimuli-responsive antibacterial materials are highlighted. The biomedical applications, the current challenges, and future directions of stimuli-responsive antibacterial materials are also discussed. First, the categories of stimuli-responsive antibacterial materials are comprehensively itemized based on different sources of stimuli, including external physical environmental stimuli (e.g., temperature, light, electricity, salt, etc.) and bacterial metabolites stimuli (e.g., acid, enzyme, redox, etc.). Second, structural characteristics, design principles, and biomedical applications of the responsive materials are discussed, and the underlying interrelationships are revealed. The molecular structures and design principles are closely related to the sources of stimuli. Finally, the challenging issues of stimuli-responsive materials are proposed. This review will provide scientific guidance to promote the clinical applications of stimuli-responsive antibacterial materials.

Abstract
Many medical and chemical applications require the precise supply of antimicrobial components in a controlled manner at the location of mature biofilm deposits. This work reports a facile strategy to fabricate nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) coencapsulating the antibacterial ligand (lysine carbon dots, Lys-CDs) and targeted drug (folic acid, FA) in one pot to improve antibiofilm efficiency against established biofilms. The resulting products are characterized by transmission electron microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The results show that Lys-CDs could coordinate with Zn2+ and the adding of FA inhibits the coordination of Lys-CDs with central ions of Zn. The Lys-CDs and FA are successfully exposed with the NMOFs disintegrating in the acid environment of bacterial metabolites. We are surprised to find a sharp increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside the bacterial cells by FA functionalizing NMOFs, which undoubtedly enhance the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity. The as-synthesized ZIF-8-based nanocomposites also show the peroxidase-like activity in an acid environment, and produce extremely active hydroxyl radicals resulting in the improved antibacterial and antibiofilm activity. The possible mechanisms of antibacterial activities indicate that the presence of FA is significant in the sense of targeting bacteria. This study shows a novel approach to construct acid stimulation supply system which may be helpful for the research of antibiofilms.

Titanium dioxide nanotubes as drug carriers for infection control and osteogenesis of bone implants. Drug Deliv Transl Res 2021; 11:1456-1474. [PMID: 33942245 DOI: 10.1007/s13346-021-00980-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Titanium implants have been widely used as one of the most effective treatments of bone defects. However, the lack of osteogenesis and bacteria-resistant activities result in high infection and loosening rates of titanium implants. Anodic oxidation could easily construct titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) array on the surface of titanium, and the rough surface of TNTs is beneficial to the growth of osteoblast-related cells on the surface. And TNTs could be excellent drug carriers because of their single-entry tubular hollow structure. In this review, we aim at detailing the application of TNTs as drug carriers in the field of bone implants. Starting from the topography of TNTs, we illustrated the biological activity of the TNTs surface, the drugs for loading in TNTs, and the controlled and responsive release strategies of drug-loaded TNTs, respectively. At the end of this review, the shortcomings of TNTs as the drug carrier in the field of bone implants are discussed, and the development direction of this research field is also prospected.

Abstract
Antibacterial materials containing biocides suffer from the fact that biocides are usually quickly released and hence display a limited antibacterial ability over a long period of time. To overcome this problem, the antibacterial agent 6-chloropurine is conjugated to a monomer via a hemiaminal ether linkage. The functional monomer is then reacted with a urethane acrylate by photopolymerization to yield thin polymer coatings. The release of the antibacterial agent from the coatings is sustained due to the slow kinetics of the hydrolysis of the hemiaminal ether linkage. Antibacterial performance is achieved against S. aureus and E. coli bacteria. This simple strategy can be applied for the rapid preparation of antibacterial coatings on various substrates and other applications such as antifouling or anticorrosion coatings.

Abstract
The dynamics and structural characteristics of polymethacrylic acid bound rhodamine-123 (PMAA-R123) and its interpolymer complex formed through hydrogen bonding between the monomeric units with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) were investigated using single molecular fluorescence studies. The time resolved fluorescence anisotropy decay of PMAA-R123 under acidic pH exhibits an associated anisotropy decay behavior characteristic of two different environments experienced by the fluorophore with one shorter and another longer rotational correlation time. The anisotropy decay retains normal bi-exponential behavior under neutral pH. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopic investigation reveals that the attached fluorophore undergoes hydrolysis under basic condition which results in the release of the fluorophore from the polymer backbone. Shrinkage in the hydrodynamic radius of PMAA is observed on addition of the complementary polymer PVP which is attributed to the formation compact solubilized nanoparticle like aggregates. The size of particle further decreases on the addition of NaCl. The detailed results show that these complexes have potential for use as drug-delivery system under physiological conditions.

Abstract
To fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria adhering and developing on medical devices, which is a growing problem worldwide, researchers are currently developing new "smart" materials and coatings. They consist in delivery of antimicrobial agents in an intelligent way, i.e., only when bacteria are present. This requires the use of new and sophisticated tools combining antimicrobial agents with lipids or polymers, synthetic and/or natural. In this review, three classes of innovative materials are described: hydrogels, nanomaterials, and thin films. Moreover, smart antibacterial materials can be classified into two groups depending on the origin of the stimulus used: those that respond to a nonbiological stimulus (light, temperature, electric and magnetic fields) and those that respond to a biological stimulus related to the presence of bacteria, such as changes in pH or bacterial enzyme secretion. The bacteria presence can induce a pH change that constitutes a first potential biological trigger allowing the system to become active. A second biological trigger signal consists in enzymes produced by bacteria themselves. A complete panel of recent studies will be given focusing on the design of such innovative smart materials that are sensitive to biological triggers.

Abstract
Several hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and a methacrylic monomer containing a thiazole group in its lateral chain have been prepared by thermal polymerization at 60 °C in water solution varying the chemical composition of the gels. The posterior quaternization of the thiazole groups with methyl iodine has rendered positively charged hydrogels with potential antimicrobial activity. This modification has been structurally characterized by infrared spectroscopy, whereas the thermal stability of all hydrogels has been studied by thermal degradation in inert atmosphere. The swelling behavior in distilled water and the rheology of the different hydrogels have been analyzed as a function of 2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)ethyl methacrylate (MTA) monomer content as well as its methylation. Finally, the active character of hydrogels against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi has been evaluated, revealing excellent antimicrobial activity against all tested microorganisms. The methylated hydrogels could be used as potential materials for wound healing or contact lens applications.

Abstract
Antibacterial coating is rapidly emerging as a pivotal strategy for mitigating spread of bacterial pathogens. However, many challenges still need to be overcome in order to develop a smart coating that can achieve on-demand antibacterial effects. In this study, a Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) sensitive peptide sequence is designed, and an antibiotic is then conjugated with this tailor-made peptide. The antibiotic-peptide conjugate is then linked to the surface of a titanium implant, where the peptide can be recognized and cleaved by an enzyme secreted by S. aureus. This allows for the release of antibiotics in the presence of S. aureus, thus achieving delivery of an antibacterial specifically when an infection occurs.

Abstract
The second part of our review describing new achievements in the field of biofilm prevention and control, begins with a discussion of the active antibiofilm nanocoatings. We present the antibiofilm strategies based on antimicrobial agents that kill pathogens, inhibit their growth, or disrupt the molecular mechanisms of biofilm-associated increase in resistance and tolerance. These agents of various chemical structures act through a plethora of mechanisms targeting vital bacterial metabolic pathways or cellular structures like cell walls and cell membranes or interfering with the processes that underlie different stages of the biofilm life cycle. We illustrate the latter action mechanisms through inhibitors of the quorum sensing signaling pathway, inhibitors of cyclic-di-GMP signaling system, inhibitors of (p)ppGpp regulated stringent response, and disruptors of the biofilm extracellular polymeric substances matrix (EPS). Both main types of active antibiofilm surfaces, namely non-leaching or contact killing systems, which rely on the covalent immobilization of the antimicrobial agent on the surface of the coatings and drug-releasing systems in which the antimicrobial agent is physically entrapped in the bulk of the coatings, are presented, highlighting the advantages of each coating type in terms of antibacterial efficacy, biocompatibility, selective toxicity, as well as drawbacks and limitations. Developments regarding combined strategies that join in a unique platform, both passive and active elements are not omitted. In such platforms with dual functionality, passive and active strategies can be applied either simultaneously or sequentially. We especially emphasize those systems that can be reversely and repeatedly switched between the non-fouling status and the bacterial killing status, thereby allowing several bacteria-killing/surface regeneration cycles to be performed without significant loss of the initial bactericidal activity. Eventually, smart antibiofilm coatings that release their antimicrobial payload on demand, being activated by various triggers such as changes in local pH, temperature, or enzymatic triggers, are presented. Special emphasis is given to the most recent trend in the field of anti-infective surfaces, specifically smart self-defensive surfaces for which activation and switch to the bactericidal status are triggered by the pathogens themselves.

Abstract
Over the last three decades there have been significant advancements in the knee and hip replacement technology that has been driven by an issue in the past concerning adverse local tissue reactions, aseptic and septic loosening. The implants and the materials we utilize have improved over the last two decades and in knee and hip replacement there has been a decrease in the failures attributed to wear and osteolysis. Despite these advancements there are still issues with patient satisfaction and early revisions due to septic and aseptic loosening in knee replacement patients. This article reviews the state of current implant material technology in hip and knee replacement surgery, discusses some of the unmet needs we have in biomaterials, and reviews some of the current biomaterials and technology that may be able to solve the most common issues in the knee and hip replacement surgery.

Abstract
The deposition of polyelectrolyte multilayers, obtained by the layer-by-layer (LbL) method, is a well-established technology to design biocompatible and antibacterial coatings aimed at preventing implant-associated infections. Several types of LbL films have been reported to exhibit antiadhesive and/or antibacterial (contact-killing or release-killing) properties governed not only by the incorporated compounds but also by their buildup conditions or their postbuildup treatments. Tannic acid (TA), a natural polyphenol, is known to inhibit the growth of several bacterial strains. In this work, we developed TA/collagen (TA/COL) LbL films built in acetate or citrate buffers at pH 4. Surprisingly, the used buffer impacts not only the physicochemical but also the antibacterial properties of the films. When incubated in physiological conditions, both types of TA/COL films released almost the same amount of TA depending on the last layer and showed an antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus only for citrate-built films. Because of their granular topography, TA/COL citrate films exhibited an efficient release-killing effect with no cytotoxicity toward human gingival fibroblasts. Emphasis is put on a comprehensive evaluation of the physicochemical parameters driving the buildup and the antibacterial property of citrate films. Specifically, complexation strengths between TA and COL are different in the presence of the two buffers affecting the LbL deposition. This work constitutes an important step toward the use of polyphenols as an antibacterial agent when incorporated in LbL films.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance has become a global crisis, driving the exploration for novel antibiotics and novel treatment approaches. Among these research efforts two classes of antibiotics, bicyclic nitroimidazoles and antimicrobial peptides, have recently shown promise as novel antimicrobial agents with the possibility to treat multi-drug resistant infections. However, they suffer from the issue of poor oral bioavailability due to disparate factors: low solubility in the case of nitroimidazoles (BCS class II drugs), and low permeability in the case of peptides (BCS class III drugs). Moreover, antimicrobial peptides present another challenge as they are susceptible to chemical and enzymatic degradation, which can present an additional pharmacokinetic hurdle for their oral bioavailability. Formulation technologies offer a potential means for improving the oral bioavailability of poorly permeable and poorly soluble drugs, but there are still drawbacks and limitations associated with this approach. This review discusses in depth the challenges associated with oral delivery of nitroimidazoles and antimicrobial peptides and the formulation technologies that have been used to overcome these problems, including an assessment of the drawbacks and limitations associated with the technologies that have been applied. Furthermore, the potential for supercritical fluid technology to overcome the shortcomings associated with conventional drug formulation methods is reviewed.

Abstract
Self-defensive biomaterial surfaces are being developed in order to mitigate infection associated with tissue-contacting biomedical devices. Such infection occurs when microbes colonize the surface of a device and proliferate into a recalcitrant biofilm. A key intervention point centers on preventing the initial colonization. Incorporating antimicrobials within a surface coating can be very effective, but the traditional means of antimicrobial delivery by continuous elution can often be counterproductive. If there is no infection, continuous elution creates conditions that promote the development of resistant microbes throughout the patient. In contrast, a self-defensive coating releases antimicrobial only when and only where there is a microbial challenge to the surface. Otherwise, the antimicrobial remains sequestered within the coating and does not contribute to the development of resistance. A self-defensive surface requires a local trigger that signals the microbial challenge. Three such triggers have been identified as: (1) local pH lowering; (2) local enzyme release; and (3) direct microbial-surface contact. This short review highlights the need for self-defensive surfaces in the general context of the device-infection problem and then reviews key biomaterials developments associated with each of these three triggering mechanisms.

Abstract
Implant-related infections like periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are still a challenging issue in orthopedic surgery. In this study, we present a prophylactic anti-infective approach based on a local delivery of the antibiotic gentamicin. The local delivery is achieved via a nanoscale polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coating that leaves the bulk material properties of the implant unaffected while tuning the surface properties. The main components of the coating, i.e. polypeptides and sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAG) render this coating both biomimetic (matrix mimetic) and biodegradable. We show how adaptions in the conditions of the multilayer assembly process and the antibiotic loading process affect the amount of delivered gentamicin. The highest concentration of gentamicin could be loaded into films composed of polypeptide poly-glutamic acid when the pH of the loading solution was acidic. The concentration of gentamicin on the surface could be tailored with the number of deposited PEM layers. The resulting coatings reveal a bacteriotoxic effect on Staphylococcus cells but show no signs of cytotoxic effects on MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. Moreover, when multilayer-coated titanium rods were implanted into contaminated medullae of rat tibiae, a reduction in the development of implant-related osteomyelitis was observed. This reduction was more pronounced for the multifunctional, matrix-mimetic heparin-based coatings that only deliver lower amounts of gentamicin.

Abstract
As a result of increasing bacterial resistance against antibiotics, we are facing an emerging health crisis, in which 'simple' infections may no longer be treatable. One class of molecules attracting interest in this context is antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), and considerable research efforts have been directed to identifying selective and potent AMPs. In addition, since in vivo delivery of AMPs is challenging, there is an emerging awareness that successful development of AMP therapeutics can be facilitated by careful design of AMPs delivery systems. In the present overview, we discuss polyelectrolyte complexation as a strategy to deliver AMPs. In doing so, key factors for AMP-polyelectrolyte complexation are illustrated for AMP-polyelectrolyte nanoparticle formation, as well as for AMP incorporation in polyelectrolyte microgels and multilayer structures, and consequences of these for functional performance exemplified.

Abstract
Despite extensive engineering of tissue-contacting biomedical devices to control healing, these devices remain susceptible to bacterial colonization, biofilm formation, and chronic infection. The threat of selecting for resistance genes largely precludes sustained antimicrobial elution as a wide-spread clinical solution. In response, self-defensive surfaces have been developed where antimicrobial is released only when and where there is a bacterial challenge. We explore a new self-defensive approach using anionic microgels into which small-molecule cationic antimicrobials are loaded by complexation. We identify conditions where antimicrobial remains sequestered within the microgels for periods as long as weeks. However, bacterial contact triggers release and leads to local bacterial killing. We speculate that the close proximity of bacteria alters the local thermodynamic environment and interferes with the microgel-antimicrobial complexation. The contact-transfer approach does not require bacterial metabolism but instead appears to be driven by differences between the microgels and the bacterial cell envelope where there is a high concentration of negative charge and hydrophobicity. Contact with metabolizing macrophages or osteoblasts is, however, insufficient to trigger antimicrobial release, indicating that contact transfer can be specific to bacteria and suggesting an avenue to biomedical device surfaces that can simultaneously promote healing and resist infection.

Abstract
Self-assembled particles, based on non-covalent interactions, are attractive drug carriers with a relatively simple structure and easy preparation. Tannic acid (TA) is an anionic polyphenolic compound with a wide range of molecular interactions and diverse applications in drug delivery research. Here, we propose the use of TA complexes with cationic antibiotics as a new pH-responsive drug carrier of high drug loading and optimal stability. TA complexes were prepared with three water-soluble antibiotics; colistin sulfate (COL), gentamicin sulfate (GEN) and gatifloxacin (GAT). Complexes' size ranged from several-hundred nanometers to few microns. For selected particles, drug loading ranged from 30 to 36%. Importantly, we demonstrate the impact of drug-carrier interactions, studied via infrared spectroscopy and molecular modeling, on final complex stability and performance; the complexes resisted dissociation in presence of serum at physiological pH to variable degrees and showed different drug release profiles. However, all complexes dissociated upon medium acidification, releasing their drug payload and demonstrating expected antibacterial effect. These results demonstrate that TA/antibiotic self-assembled complexes represent an excellent carrier for pH-sensitive delivery of water-soluble drugs. In addition to system's simplicity and low cost, complexes were easily prepared with high drug loading and desirable pH-dependent association/dissociation profile.

Abstract
Many applications using drug-carrying biomedical materials require on-demand, localized delivery of multiple therapeutic agents in precisely controlled and patient-specific time sequences, especially after assembly of the delivery vehicles; however, creating such materials has proven extremely challenging. Here, we report a novel strategy to create polypeptide multilayer films integrated with capsules as vehicles for co-delivery of multiple drugs using layer-by-layer self-assembly technology. Our approach allows the multilayered polypeptide nanofilms and preimpregnated capsules to assemble into innovative biomedical materials with high and controllable loading of multiple drugs at any time postpreparation and to achieve pH-responsive and sustained release. The resulting capsule-integrated polypeptide multilayer films effectively co-deliver various drugs with very different properties, including proteins (e.g., growth factors) and nanoparticles, achieving bovine serum albumin loading of 80 μg cm-2 and release of 2 weeks, and histone loading of 100 μg cm-2 and release of 6 weeks; which also enable Staphylococcus aureus killing efficacy of 83% while maintaining osteoblast viability of >85% with silver nanoparticle delivery; and >5-fold cell adhesion and proliferation capability with live cell percentage of >90% via human recombinant bone morphogenetic protein 2 delivery. The successful development of such fascinating materials can not only function as advanced nanocoatings to reduce two major complications of orthopedic bone injuries (i.e., infection and delayed bone regeneration) but also provide new insights into the design and development of multifunctional materials for various other biomedical applications.

Abstract
Fabrication of antibacterial materials with sustained release of active components is of great importance for long-term antibacterial applications. Graphene oxide (GO) has been found to be an excellent carrier for accumulating the antibacterial peptide of G(IIKK)4I-NH2 and mediating its loading into the layer-by-layer (LBL) films for sustained release applications. G(IIKK)4I-NH2 takes random coiled conformation in monomeric state below 0.17 mM but self-assembles into supramolecular aggregates with α-helical secondary structure at higher concentrations. It can bind onto GO surface in both monomeric and aggregate states to form stable GO@G(IIKK)4I-NH2 composites. Upon binding, the local amphiphilic environment of GO surface induces a conformational transition of G(IIKK)4I-NH2 monomers from random coils to α-helix. The aggregate binding enhances the loading amount greatly. GO (1 mg) can load as high as 1.7 mg of peptide at saturation. This enables the GO@G(IIKK)4I-NH2 composites to serve as reservoirs for sustained release of active G(IIKK)4I-NH2 monomers. Moreover, G(IIKK)4I-NH2 itself shows low efficiency in LBL assembly, whereas the GO@G(IIKK)4I-NH2 composites are ideal LBL assembling units with highly enhanced loading efficiency of G(IIKK)4I-NH2. The LBL films involving degradable poly(β-amino esters) can realize sustained release of G(IIKK)4I-NH2 for bacteria killing in a well-controlled manner. This study demonstrates an efficient strategy for fabrication of long-durable antibacterial materials and surface coatings by using GO as the carrier for drug accumulation and loading.

Abstract
Covalent layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a powerful method used to construct functional ultrathin films that enables nanoscopic structural precision, componential diversity, and flexible design. Compared with conventional LbL films built using multiple noncovalent interactions, LbL films prepared using covalent crosslinking offer the following distinctive characteristics: (i) enhanced film endurance or rigidity; (ii) improved componential diversity when uncharged species or small molecules are stably built into the films by forming covalent bonds; and (iii) increased structural diversity when covalent crosslinking is employed in componential, spacial, or temporal (labile bonds) selective manners. In this review, we document the chemical methods used to build covalent LbL films as well as the film properties and applications achievable using various film design strategies. We expect to translate the achievement in the discipline of chemistry (film-building methods) into readily available techniques for materials engineers and thus provide diverse functional material design protocols to address the energy, biomedical, and environmental challenges faced by the entire scientific community.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens of humans and animals, where it frequently colonizes skin and mucosal membranes. It is of major clinical importance as a nosocomial pathogen and causative agent of a wide array of diseases. Multidrug-resistant strains have become increasingly prevalent and represent a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. For this reason, novel strategies to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens are urgently needed. Bacteriophage-derived enzymes, so-called endolysins, and other peptidoglycan hydrolases with the ability to disrupt cell walls represent possible alternatives to conventional antibiotics. These lytic enzymes confer a high degree of host specificity and could potentially replace or be utilized in combination with antibiotics, with the aim to specifically treat infections caused by Gram-positive drug-resistant bacterial pathogens such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus. LysK is one of the best-characterized endolysins with activity against multiple staphylococcal species. Various approaches to further enhance the antibacterial efficacy and applicability of endolysins have been demonstrated. These approaches include the construction of recombinant endolysin derivatives and the development of novel delivery strategies for various applications, such as the production of endolysins in lactic acid bacteria and their conjugation to nanoparticles. These novel strategies are a major focus of this review.

Abstract
The synergistic relationship between structure and the bulk properties of polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films has generated tremendous interest in their application for loading and release of bioactive species. Layer-by-layer assembly is the simplest, cost effective process for fabrication of such PEMs films, leading to one of the most widely accepted platforms for incorporating biological molecules with nanometre precision. The bulk reservoir properties of PEM films render them a potential candidate for applications such as biosensing, drug delivery and tissue engineering. Various biomolecules such as proteins, DNA, RNA or other desired molecules can be incorporated into the PEM stack via electrostatic interactions and various other secondary interactions such as hydrophobic interactions. The location and availability of the biological molecules within the PEM stack mediates its applicability in various fields of biomedical engineering such as programmed drug delivery. The development of advanced technologies for biomedical applications using PEM films has seen rapid progress recently. This review briefly summarises the recent successes of PEM being utilised for diverse bio-applications.

Abstract
The adhesion of bacteria is one of the most important stages in biofilm formation and bacterial infection. Once bacteria have adhered to a biomaterial surface, it is hard to eliminate them, and bacterial growth and infection are inevitable. In the current study, we have designed and constructed enzymatically degradable (hyaluronic acid/chitosan)n-(hyaluronic acid/polylysine)n ((HA/CHI)n-(HA/PLL)n) composite multilayer films via a layer-by-layer self-assembly method. Spectroscopic ellipsometry and scanning electron microscopy cross section measurements showed the exponential growth behavior of (HA/CHI)10-(HA/PLL)10 multilayer films (∼2 μm). The increased secretion of hyaluronidase and chymotrypsin in the bacterial infection microenvironment led to the fast degradation of the outer (PLL/HA)n multilayer films in the first 24 h. Enzymatic degradation of the multilayer films efficiently reduced the adhesion of both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (>99%). Bacterial live/dead staining demonstrated the bactericidal action of the remaining bottom (CHI/HA)n multilayer films against the two kinds of bacteria. In vivo subcutaneous tests on New Zealand white rabbits, wound appearance and histopathology analysis showed that the implantation of composite multilayer film-modified PDMS promoted wound healing and the materials demonstrated a self-defense antibacterial effect. The material demonstrated both anti-adhesive and bactericidal properties and could be used to modify biomedical implants.

Self-defensive antibiotic-loaded layer-by-layer coatings: Imaging of localized bacterial acidification and pH-triggering of antibiotic release. Acta Biomater 2017; 61:66-74.

Abstract
Self-defensive antibiotic-loaded coatings have shown promise in inhibiting growth of pathogenic bacteria adhering to biomaterial implants and devices, but direct proof that their antibacterial release is triggered by bacterially-induced acidification of the immediate environment under buffered conditions remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli adhering to such coatings generate highly localized acidification, even in buffered conditions, to activate pH-triggered, self-defensive antibiotic release. To this end, we utilized chemically crosslinked layer-by-layer hydrogel coatings of poly(methacrylic acid) with a covalently attached pH-sensitive SNARF-1 fluorescent label for imaging, and unlabeled-antibiotic (gentamicin or polymyxin B) loaded coatings for antibacterial studies. Local acidification of the coatings induced by S. aureus and E. coli adhering to the coatings was demonstrated by confocal-laser-scanning-microscopy via wavelength-resolved imaging. pH-triggered antibiotic release under static, small volume conditions yielded high bacterial killing efficiencies for S. aureus and E. coli. Gentamicin-loaded films retained their antibacterial activity against S. aureus under fluid flow in buffered conditions. Antibacterial activity increased with the number of polymer layers in the films. Altogether, pH-triggered, self-defensive antibiotic-loaded coatings become activated by highly localized acidification in the immediate environment of an adhering bacterium, offering potential for clinical application with minimized side-effects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Polymeric coatings were created that are able to uptake and selectively release antibiotics upon stimulus by adhering bacteria in order to understand the fundamental mechanisms behind pH-triggered antibiotic release as a potential way to prevent biomaterial-associated infections. Through fluorescent imaging studies, this work importantly shows that adhering bacteria produce highly localized pH changes even in buffer. Accordingly such coatings only demonstrate antibacterial activity by antibiotic release in the presence of adhering bacteria. This is clinically important, because ad libitum releasing antibiotic coatings usually show a burst release and have often lost their antibiotic content when bacteria adhere.

Abstract
Contact-active antimicrobial polymer surfaces bear cationic charges and kill or deactivate bacteria by interaction with the negatively charged parts of their cell envelope (lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycan, and membrane lipids). The exact mechanism of this interaction is still under debate. While cationic antimicrobial polymer surfaces can be very useful for short-term applications, they lose their activity once they are contaminated by a sufficiently thick layer of adhering biomolecules or bacterial cell debris. This layer shields incoming bacteria from the antimicrobially active cationic surface moieties. Besides discussing antimicrobial surfaces, this feature article focuses on recent strategies that were developed to overcome the contamination problem. This includes bifunctional materials with simultaneously presented antimicrobial and protein-repellent moieties; polymer surfaces that can be switched from an antimicrobial, cell-attractive to a cell-repellent state; polymer surfaces that can be regenerated by enzyme action; degradable antimicrobial polymers; and antimicrobial polymer surfaces with removable top layers.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2017; 506:589-602.

Abstract
We report nanothin temperature-responsive hydrogel films of poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) nanoparticles (νPVCL) with remarkably high loading capacity for topical drug delivery. Highly swollen (νPVCL)n multilayer hydrogels, where n denotes the number of nanoparticle layers, are produced by layer-by-layer hydrogen-bonded assembly of core-shell PVCL-co-acrylic acid nanoparticles with linear PVPON followed by cross-linking of the acrylic acid shell with either ethylene diamine (EDA) or adipic acid dihydrazide (AAD). We demonstrate that a (νPVCL)5 film undergoes dramatic and reversible swelling up to 9 times its dry thickness at pH = 7.5, indicating 89v/v % of water inside the network. These hydrogels exhibit highly reversible ∼3-fold thickness changes with temperature variations from 25 to 50°C at pH = 5, the average pH of human skin. We also show that a (νPVCL)30 hydrogel loaded with ∼120µgcm-2 sodium diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used for osteoarthritis pain management, provides sustained permeation of this drug through an artificial skin membrane for up to 24h at 32°C (the average human skin surface temperature). The cumulative amount of diclofenac transported at 32°C from the (νPVCL)30 hydrogel after 24h is 12 times higher than that from the (νPVCL)30 hydrogel at 22°C. Finally, we demonstrate that the (νPVCL) hydrogels can be used for multiple drug delivery by inclusion of Nile red, fluorescein and DAPI dyes within the νPVCL nanoparticles prior to hydrogel assembly. Using confocal microscopy we observed the presence of separate dye-loaded νPVCL compartments within the hydrogel matrix with all three dyes confined to the nanogel particles without intermixing between the dyes. Our study provides opportunity for development of temperature-responsive multilayer hydrogel coatings made via the assembly of core-shell nanogel particles which can be used for skin-sensitive materials for topical drug delivery.
