Abstract
Ought to their bioinert properties and facile synthesis, poly[(oligoethylene glycol)methacrylate]s (POEGMAs) have been raised as attractive alternatives to poly(ethylene glycols) (PEGs) in an array of (bio)material applications, especially when they are applied as polymer brush coatings. However, commercially available OEG-methacrylate (macro)monomers feature a broad distribution of OEG lengths, thus generating structurally polydisperse POEGMAs when polymerized through reversible deactivation radical polymerization. Here, we demonstrate that the interfacial physicochemical properties of POEGMA brushes are significantly affected by their structural dispersity, i.e., the degree of heterogeneity in the length of side OEG segments. POEGMA brushes synthesized from discrete (macro)monomers obtained through chromatographic purification of commercial mixtures show increased hydration and reduced adhesion when compared to their structurally polydisperse analogues. The observed alteration of interfacial properties is directly linked to the presence of monodisperse OEG side chains, which hamper intramolecular and intermolecular hydrophobic interactions while simultaneously promoting the association of water molecules. These phenomena provide structurally homogeneous POEGMA brushes with a more lubricious and protein repellent character with respect to their heterogeneous counterparts. More generally, in contrast to what has been assumed until now, the properties of POEGMA brushes cannot be anticipated while ruling out the effect of dispersity by (macro)monomer feeds. Simultaneously, side chain dispersity of POEGMAs emerges as a critical parameter for determining the interfacial characteristics of brushes.

Abstract
A critical problem with the use of biomaterial implants is associated with bacterial adhesion on the surface of implants and in turn the biofilm formation. Among different strategies that have been reported to resolve this dilemma, surface design combined with both antiadhesive and antimicrobial properties has proven to be highly effective. Physiochemical properties of polymer brush coatings possess non-adhesive capability against bacterial adhesion and create a niche for further functionalization. The current study aims to evaluate the effect of antibiotics incorporated into the polymer brush on bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. Brushes made of zwitterionic polymers were synthesized, functionalized with vancomycin via both physical and chemical conjugation, and grafted onto the silicon rubber surfaces. Antibacterial and antiadhesive measurements of designed coated biomaterials were mediated through the use of a parallel plate flow chamber against biofilm growth developed by Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli over a period of 24 h. The analysis of biofilm growth on designed coated biomaterials showed that the pristine coated zwitterionic brushes are significantly resistant to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation but not in the polymer brush coating incorporated with antibiotics.

[PMID: 38230230 PMCID: PMC10789626 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Aeromonas salmonicida is an ancient fish pathogen. Lysozymes are important molecules in the innate immune system that fight bacterial infections. The expression characteristics of C-type lysozyme in crucian carp infected with A. salmonicida and its antibacterial effect against A. salmonicida had not been investigated. Thus, we used bioinformatics to analyze the gene and protein characteristics of C-type lysozymes in crucian carp. Changes in C-type lysozyme expression before and after crucian carp infection with A. salmonicida were detected, and the in vitro antibacterial effect of recombinant carp C-type lysozyme on A. salmonicida was validated. The results showed that the coding DNA sequence region of the lysozyme gene sequence was 438 bp long, encoding 145 amino acids and containing two conserved catalytic sites: Glu53 and Asp69. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that crucian carp C-type lysozymes clustered with Cyprinus carpio lysozyme C. After crucian carp were infected with A. salmonicida, the gene and protein expression of C-type lysozymes in the liver, spleen, kidney, and hindgut were significantly upregulated, with the liver showing the highest upregulation that was 15 times higher than that in the uninfected group. In addition, recombinant C-type lysozyme exhibited significant antibacterial activity against A. salmonicida, with an average inhibition zone radius of 0.92 cm when using 40 μg recombinant lysozyme. In conclusion, this study reveals the important role of C-type lysozymes in the innate immune response of crucian carp and provides a theoretical basis for preventing crucian carp infection with A. salmonicida.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:9546. [PMID: 38067919 PMCID: PMC10708880 DOI: 10.3390/s23239546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
Optical sensors excel in performance but face efficacy challenges when submerged due to potential surface colonization, leading to signal deviation. This necessitates robust solutions for sustained accuracy. Protein and microorganism adsorption on solid surfaces is crucial in antibiofilm studies, contributing to conditioning film and biofilm formation. Most studies focus on surface characteristics (hydrophilicity, roughness, charge, and composition) individually for their adhesion impact. In this work, we tested four materials: silica, titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, and parylene C. Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) served as the biofouling conditioning model, assessed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Its effect on microorganism adhesion (modeled with functionalized microbeads) was quantified using a shear stress flow chamber. Surface features and adhesion properties were correlated via Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Protein adsorption is influenced by nanoscale roughness, hydrophilicity, and likely correlated with superficial electron distribution and bond nature. Conditioning films alter the surface interaction with microbeads, affecting hydrophilicity and local charge distribution. Silica shows a significant increase in microbead adhesion, while parylene C exhibits a moderate increase, and titanium dioxide shows reduced adhesion. Alumina demonstrates notable stability, with the conditioning film minimally impacting adhesion, which remains low.

Abstract
Although new antibiofilm agents have been developed to prevent and eliminate pathogenic biofilms, their widespread clinical use is hindered by poor biocompatibility and bioavailability, unspecific interactions and insufficient local concentrations. The development of innovative drug delivery strategies can facilitate penetration of antimicrobials through biofilms, promote drug dispersal and synergistic bactericidal effects, and provide novel paradigms for clinical application. In this Review, we discuss the potential benefits of such emerging techniques for improving the clinical efficacy of antibiofilm agents, as well as highlighting the existing limitations and future prospects for these therapies in the clinic.

Abstract
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an unresolved problem in nosocomial settings, remaining consistently associated with a lack of treatment, high mortality, and prolonged hospital stay. The endotracheal tube (ETT) is the major culprit for VAP development owing to its early surface microbial colonization and biofilm formation by multiple pathogens, both critical events for VAP pathogenesis and relapses. To combat this matter, gradual research on antimicrobial ETT surface coating/modification approaches has been made. This review provides an overview of the relevance and implications of the ETT bioburden for VAP pathogenesis and how technological research on antimicrobial materials for ETTs has evolved. Firstly, certain main VAP attributes (definition/categorization; outcomes; economic impact) were outlined, highlighting the issues in defining/diagnosing VAP that often difficult VAP early- and late-onset differentiation, and that generate misinterpretations in VAP surveillance and discrepant outcomes. The central role of the ETT microbial colonization and subsequent biofilm formation as fundamental contributors to VAP pathogenesis was then underscored, in parallel with the uncovering of the polymicrobial ecosystem of VAP-related infections. Secondly, the latest technological developments (reported since 2002) on materials able to endow the ETT surface with active antimicrobial and/or passive antifouling properties were annotated, being further subject to critical scrutiny concerning their potentialities and/or constraints in reducing ETT bioburden and the risk of VAP while retaining/improving the safety of use. Taking those gaps/challenges into consideration, we discussed potential avenues that may assist upcoming advances in the field to tackle VAP rampant rates and improve patient care. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The use of the endotracheal tube (ETT) in patients requiring mechanical ventilation is associated with the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Its rapid surface colonization and biofilm formation are critical events for VAP pathogenesis and relapses. This review provides a comprehensive overview on the relevance/implications of the ETT biofilm in VAP, and on how research on antimicrobial ETT surface coating/modification technology has evolved over the last two decades. Despite significant technological advances, the limited number of gathered reports (46), highlights difficulty in overcoming certain hurdles associated with VAP (e.g., persistent colonization/biofilm formation; mechanical ventilation duration; hospital length of stay; VAP occurrence), which makes this an evolving, complex, and challenging matter. Challenges and opportunities in the field are discussed.

Abstract
Tyrosine, a simple and well-available natural amino acid, is featured by the small size of the compound that contains multiple reactive groups. This study developed an efficient bioconjugation strategy using tyrosine-based dual-functional interfaces. When tyrosine molecules are immobilized on the surface of a supporting material through amino groups, their carboxyl groups can function as an attracting trap due to their anionic nature at neutral pH and ability to chelate nickel(II) ions (Ni2+), allowing the capture and enrichment of cationic proteins and histidine (His)-tagged proteins on the surface. The trapped proteins can be further covalently immobilized on site through ruthenium-mediated photochemical cross-linking, which has been found to be highly efficient and can be completed within minutes. This strategy was successfully applied to two different material systems. We found that tyrosine-modified agarose beads had a binding capacity of the His-tagged enhanced green fluorescent protein comparable to that of commonly used nitrilotriacetic acid-based resins, and further covalent coupling via dityrosine cross-linking achieved a yield of 85% within 5 min, without compromising much on its fluorescence activity. On the surface of tyrosine-modified 316L stainless steel, lysozyme was captured through electrostatic interaction and further immobilized. The resultant surface exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Such a tyrosine-based capture-then-coupling method is featured by its simplicity, high coupling efficiency, and high utilization rate of target molecules, making it particularly suitable for the proteins that are highly priced or vulnerable to general immobilization chemistry.

Abstract
Over the last few years, the list of water contaminants has grown tremendously due to many anthropogenic activities. Various conventional technologies are available for water and wastewater treatment. However, micropollutants of emerging concern (MEC) are posing a great threat due to their activity at trace concentration and poor removal efficiency by the conventional treatment processes. Advanced technology like membrane technology can remove MEC to some extent. However, issues like the different chemical properties of MEC, selectivity, and fouling of membranes can affect the removal efficiency. Moreover, the concentrate from the membrane filtration may need further treatment. Enzymatic degradation of pollutants and foulants is one of the green approaches for removing various contaminants from the water as well as mitigating membrane fouling. Biocatalytic membranes (BCMs), in which enzymes are immobilized on membranes, combines the advantages of membrane separation and enzymatic degradation. This review article discussed various commonly used enzymes in BCMs for removing MEC and fouling. The majorly used enzymes were oxidoreductases and hydrolases for removing MEC, antifouling, and self-cleaning ability. The various BCM synthesis processes based on entrapment, crosslinking, and binding have been summarized, along with the effects of the addition of the nanoparticles on the performances of the BCMs. The scale-up, commercial viability, challenges, and future direction for improving BCMs have been discussed and shown bright possibilities for these new generation membranes.

Abstract
Traditional antifouling coatings are generally based on a single antifouling mechanism, which can hardly meet the needs of different occasions. Here, a single "kill-resist-renew trinity" polymeric coating integrating fouling killing, resistance, and releasing functions is reported. To achieve the design, a novel monomer-tertiary carboxybetaine ester acrylate with the antifouling group N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)maleimide (TCB-TCPM) is synthesized and copolymerized with methacrylic anhydride via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization yielding a degradable hyperbranched polymer. Such a polymer at the surface/seawater is able to hydrolyze and degrade to short segments forming a dynamic surface (releasing). The hydrolysis of TCB-TCPM generates the antifouling groups TCPM (killing) and zwitterionic groups (resistance). Such a polymeric coating exhibits a controllable degradation rate, which increases with the degrees of branching. The antibacterial assay demonstrates that the antifouling ability arise from the synergistic effect of "attacking" and "defending". This study provides a new strategy to solve the challenging problem of marine biofouling.

Abstract
Wound moisture management is very important in wound healing. Previous wound management has included dry healing and moist healing, and the theory of wound moisture balance is currently generally accepted. However, current studies have not reported which humidity is suitable for wound healing and how to appropriately use antibacterial compounds when the humidity is suitable. Our study explored the moisture balance of polyurethane foam dressings through a moisture balance test and constructed a safe and effective moisture balanced antibacterial dressing by loading lysozyme onto a polyurethane foam dressing. Wound healing experiments showed that the wound healing speed was the fastest when the humidity was 25%. In vivo and in vitro antibacterial experiments showed the superior antibacterial performance of the dressing after lysozyme loading. We loaded lysozyme on moisture balanced polyurethane dressings by means of dopamine adsorption, and the modified dressings were named PU/DA-LYS (polyurethane/dopamine-lysozyme). Experiments on wound healing in infected mice indicated that PU/DA-LYS helps fight infection while promoting wound healing. Cytotoxicity experiments and in vivo biological safety experiments indicated that PU/DA-LYS was safe for use. Our study found that the lysozyme loaded polyurethane dressing can provide appropriate wound moisture and prevent bacterial infection, which is a future developmental direction for wound dressings.

Abstract
The development of novel biocompatible and cost effective cryogel membrane which shows enhanced antimicrobial properties in order to use for several approaches such as wound dressing, scaffold or food packaging was aimed in this study. A super macro porous lysozyme imprinted cryogel membranes showing antibacterial effect against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were prepared by using molecular imprinting technique. N-methacryloyl-(L)-histidine methyl ester (MAH) was used as the pseudo specific ligand and complexed with Cu++ in order to provide metal ion coordination between MAH and template molecule (lysozyme). Comparing the antibacterial activity of different lysozyme concentrations, cryogel membranes were prepared in three different concentrations. To synthesize Poly (hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacryloyl-(L)-histidine methylester) P(HEMA-MAH) cryogel membrane, free radical polymerization initiated by N, N, N', N'-tetramethylene diamine (TEMED) and ammonium persulfate (APS) was carried out at -12 °C. The characterization of the lysozyme imprinted cryogel membrane was accomplished by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), swelling degree measurements and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy. The cytotoxicity test of produced membrane was performed by using mouse fibroblast cell line L929. The antibacterial activity of P(HEMA-MAH) lysozyme molecular imprinted [P(HEMA-MAH) Lyz-MIP] cryogel membranes against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) were determined by Kirby-Bauer membranes diffusion and viable cell counting methods. When the antibacterial effect of P(HEMA-MAH) Lyz-MIP cryogel membranes were evaluated, it was found that P(HEMA-MAH) Lyz-MIP cryogel membranes had stronger antibacterial effects against Gram-negative E. coli bacteria even in low lysozyme concentrations. In addition, 100% bacterial inhibition was detected for both of two bacteria at increasing lysozyme concentrations.

Abstract
Bacterial pathogens are responsible for millions of cases of illnesses and deaths each year throughout the world. The development of novel surfaces and coatings that effectively inhibit and prevent bacterial attachment, proliferation, and growth is one of the crucial steps for tackling this global challenge. Herein, we report a dual-functional coating for aluminum surfaces that relies on the controlled immobilization of lysozyme enzyme (muramidase) into interstitial spaces of presintered, nanostructured thin film based on ∼200 nm silica nanoparticles and the sequential chemisorption of an organofluorosilane to the available interfacial areas. The mean diameter of the resultant lysozyme microdomains was 3.1 ± 2.5 μm with an average spacing of 8.01 ± 6.8 μm, leading to a surface coverage of 15.32%. The coating had an overall root-mean-square (rms) roughness of 539 ± 137 nm and roughness factor of 1.50 ± 0.1, and demonstrated static, advancing, and receding water contact angles of 159.0 ± 1.0°, 155.4 ± 0.6°, and 154.4 ± 0.6°, respectively. Compared to the planar aluminum, the coated surfaces produced a 6.5 ± 0.1 (>99.99997%) and 4.0 ± 0.1 (>99.99%) log-cycle reductions in bacterial surfaces colonization against Gram-negative Salmonella Typhimurium LT2 and Gram-positive Listeria innocua, respectively. We anticipate that the implementation of such a coating strategy on healthcare environments and surfaces and food-contact surfaces can significantly reduce or eliminate potential risks associated with various contamination and cross-contamination scenarios.

Abstract
A functional monomer carrying a carboxylate and a protected primary ammonium group is synthesized from itaconic acid. When copolymerized with dimethyl acrylamide and 4-methacryloyloxybenzophenone, cross-linkable polyzwitterions are obtained. These are converted to surface-attached polyzwitterion networks by simultaneous UV-triggered C,H insertion reactions. The resulting polyzwitterion-coated substrates were studied by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy measurements, ζ potential and various biological assays. They were (expectedly) protein repellent, yet at the same time (and unexpectedly) cell-adhesive and antimicrobially active. This was attributed to stimulus-responsiveness of the polyzwitterion (confirmed by the ζ potential measurements), which enables charge adjustment at different pH values. When protonated, the polyzwitterions become amphiphilic polycations and, in this state, kill bacteria upon contact like their parent structures (polymer-based synthetic mimics of antimicrobial peptides, SMAMPs).

Abstract
Harmful bacteria have seriously threatened human health and wealth for a long time. Herein, a multifunctional drug delivery system based on UiO-66 was fabricated, and it showed potent synergistic antibacterial effects when used in conjunction with photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. First, UiO-66-NH2 was prepared via a facile solvothermal method. Then, carboxylic zinc phthalocyanine, a broad-spectrum photosensitizer, was connected to UiO-66-NH2 by amidation. Next, synergistic chemical antibiotic linezolid was loaded in the pores, and lysozyme was coated on the surface by electrostatic interactions. In vitro antibacterial experiments were then carried out to evaluate the antibacterial effects of this system against three kinds of bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The combination of lysozyme, linezolid, and singlet oxygen generated by irradiation of the photosensitizers resulted in a potent antibacterial effect against S. aureus, E. coli, and even MRSA, which demonstrates the synergistic antibacterial efficacy of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Acylase is known as a quorum quenching enzyme that degrades N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs), a key signaling molecule in a quorum sensing (QS) mechanism. Acylase I cleaves the acyl-chain in the chemical structures of AHLs, thereby exerting an anti-biofilm effect by the inhibition of bacterial cell-cell communication and resultant secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). However, the physical and physiological impacts of acylase on bacterial cells remain to be systematically elucidated. This study, therefore, investigated the effect of active and inactive acylase addition on the growth, viability, and cell morphologies of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. For comparison, active and inactive lysozymes were taken as positive controls. The results showed that active acylase inhibited A. tumefaciens cell growth at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1000 μg mL-1, and so did active lysozyme. Fluorescent detection by Live/Dead staining underpinned that cell viability of A. tumefaciens decreased at concentrations higher than 0.1 μg mL-1 for both acylase and lysozyme, although lysozyme inflicted higher degree of cellular damage. Moreover, atomic force microscopy unraveled a noticeable distortion of A. tumefaciens cells by both acylase and lysozyme. Together, the results showed that acylase not only blocked AHLs-based QS mechanisms but also compromised cell viability and altered surface morphology of A. tumefaciens cells, as observed by the addition of hydrolase.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, is widely exploited in biomedical applications, while phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids (in the form of bilayers or liposomes) have been identified as very efficient boundary lubricants in aqueous media. Here we examine, using a surface force balance (SFB), the interactions between surface-adsorbed layers of PEO complexed with small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs, i.e. liposomes) or with bilayers of PC lipids, both well below and a little above their main gel-to-liquid phase-transition temperatures TM. The morphology of PEO layers (adsorbed onto mica), to which liposomes were added, was examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM). Our results reveal that the PC lipids could attach to the PEO either as vesicles or as bilayers, depending on whether they were above or below TM. Under water (no added salt), excellent lubrication, with friction coefficients down to 10-3-10-4, up to contact stresses of 6.5 MPa (comparable to those in the major joints) was observed between two surfaces bearing such PEO-PC complexes. At 0.1 M KNO3 salt concentration (comparable to physiological salt levels), the friction between such surfaces was considerably higher, attributed to bridging by the polymer chains. Remarkably, such bridging could be suppressed and the friction could be restored to its previous low value if the KNO3 was replaced with NaNO3, as a result of the different PEO-mica ligation properties of Na+ compared to those of K+. Our results provide insight into the properties of PEO-PC complexes in potential applications, and large interfacial effects that can result from the seemingly innocuous replacement of K+ by Na+ ions.

Abstract
Catechols are prone to oxidative polymerization as well as complex formation with metal ions. These two features of catechols have played an important role in the construction of functional films on various surfaces. For example, marine antifouling films and antibacterial films were successfully prepared by oxidative polymerization and metal complexation of catechol-containing molecules, respectively. However, the effect of simultaneous metal complexation and oxidative polymerization on functional film formation has not yet been fully investigated. Herein, as a derivative of 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-l-alanine (DOPA), we synthesized an ethylene glycol-derivatized DOPA (OEG-DOPA) and formed OEG-DOPA thin films based on (1) oxidative polymerization and (2) the complexation between catechol groups of OEG-DOPA and iron(III) (FeIII) ions. Either or both approaches were used for the film formation. OEG-DOPA film formation was characterized by ellipsometry, contact angle goniometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Among the conditions used, the formation of a uniform film was only achieved with the dual cross-linking system of FeIII complexation and oxidation-induced covalent bond formation. Compared to the uncoated substrate and other OEG-DOPA films prepared under different conditions, the uniform OEG-DOPA film strongly inhibited bacterial adhesion, showing excellent antibacterial capability. We think that our surface-coating strategy can be applied to medical devices, tools, and implants where bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation should be prevented. This work can also serve as a basis for the construction of functional thin films for other catechol-functionalized materials.

UV cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone electrospun fibres as antibacterial surfaces. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS 2019; 20:979-991. [PMID: 31692919 PMCID: PMC6818115 DOI: 10.1080/14686996.2019.1667737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2019] [Revised: 09/11/2019] [Accepted: 09/11/2019] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Many bacteria become progressively more resistant to antibiotics and it remains a challenging task to control their overall levels. Polymers combined with active biomolecules come to the forefront for the design of antibacterial materials that can address this encounter. In this work, we investigated the photo-crosslinking approach of UV-sensitive benzophenone molecule (BP) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymer within electrospun fibres. The BP and PVP solutions allowed fabricating polymer mats that were subsequently functionalised with antibacterial lysozyme. The physical properties of the crosslinked electrospun fibres were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The average diameter of the obtained fibres decreased from 290 ± 50 nm to 270 ± 70 nm upon the addition of the crosslinking molecules and then to 240 ± 80 nm and 180 ± 90 nm after subsequent crosslinking reaction at an increasing time: 3 and 5 h, respectively. The peak force quantitative nanomechanical mapping (PF-QNM) indicated the increase of DMT modulus of obtained cross-linked fibres from 4.1 ± 0.8 GPa to 7.2 ± 0.5 GPa. Furthermore, the successful crosslinking reaction of PVP and BP solution into hydrogels was investigated in terms of examining photo-crosslinking mechanism and was confirmed by rheology, Raman, Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance. Finally, lysozyme was successfully encapsulated within cross-linked PVP-BP hydrogels and these were successfully electrospun into mats which were found to be as effective antibacterial agents as pure lysozyme molecules. The dissolution rate of photo cross-linked PVP mats was observed to increase in comparison to pure PVP electrospun mats which opened a potential route for their use as antibacterial, on-demand, dissolvable coatings for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
A sandwich immunosensor was successfully developed for monitoring of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in rat whole blood. The substrate stainless steel (SS) was first coated with a polydopamine layer and subsequently grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate brushes, onto which a sandwich immunosensor was modified for detection of IL-1β. The device has been successfully applied for monitoring of IL-1β with a limit of detection of 4.7 pg mL-1, and a linear detection range of 12.5-200 pg mL-1. Good specificity and selectivity for monitoring of IL-1β in rat macrophage secretion were achieved. Furthermore, this device was validated by detection of IL-1β in rat whole blood samples with greater concentrations observed in obese rats compared to control, and strong positive correlation between concentrations of IL-1β and blood glucose. These results suggest this device is feasible for direct detection of target analytes in biological samples.

Abstract
Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have recently attracted great interest in material chemistry and biomaterials because of their biocompatible, versatile, and multifunctional properties. In this paper, we describe a facile method for preparation of a designable antifouling, antimicrobial, and substrate-independent coating assembled from the coordination of metal ions and catecholic groups. Hydrophilic and catecholic polymers were synthesized by copolymerization of dopamine methacrylamide (DMA) and poly(ethylene glycol)methyl methacrylate (PEGMA) to afford p(PEGMA- co-DMA). To investigate the assembly and formation of MPN films, two different metal ions, that is, ferrous (FeII) and ferric (FeIII) ions, to react with p(PEGMA- co-DMA) were compared. The binding constants between iron ions and p(PEGMA- co-DMA) have been investigated by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). Measurements with atomic force microscopy, contact angle goniometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were carried out to quantitatively analyze the surface morphology, wettability, and interfacial elemental compositions of coatings, respectively. Moreover, ellipsometric measurements were performed to obtain the film thickness and grafting density. In addition, the pH-responsive property of the MPN films was investigated at different pH values, showing fast disassembly of the networks at low pH. The antifouling properties of the obtained coatings were analyzed by exposing them to bacteria of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis and NIH-3T3 fibroblasts under observation of fluorescence microscopy and cell imaging analysis. The findings suggest that the MPN from complexation of p(PEGMA- co-DMA) and metal ions provides excellent antifouling, pH-responsive, and biocompatible properties on a wide range of substrates. Furthermore, the released iron ions can effectively suppress the growth of bacteria. Accordingly, the new coating architecture offers a universal feature to control surface properties and functionalization for various applications.

Abstract
Hospital associated infections (HAIs), infections acquired by patients during care in a hospital, remain a prevalent issue in the healthcare field. These infections often occur with the use of indwelling medical devices, such as endotracheal tubes (ETTs), that can result in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). When examining the various routes of infection, VAP is associated with the highest incidence, rate of morbidity, and economic burden. Although ETTs are essential for the survival of patients requiring mechanical ventilation, their use comes with complications. The presence of an ETT in the airway impairs physiological host defense mechanisms for clearance of pathogens and provides a platform for oropharynx microorganism transport to the sterile tracheobronchial network. Antibiotics are administered to treat lower respiratory infections; however, they are not always effective and consequently can result in increased antibiotic resistance. Prophylactic approaches by altering the surface of ETTs to prevent the establishment and growth of bacteria have exhibited promising results. In addition, passive surface modifications that prevent bacterial establishment and growth, or active coatings that possess a bactericidal effect have also proven effective. In this review we aim to highlight the importance of preventing biofilm establishment on indwelling medical devices, focusing on ETTs. We will investigate successful antimicrobial modifications to ETTs and the future avenues that will ultimately decrease HAIs and improve patient care. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Infections that occur with indwelling medicals devices remain a constant concern in the medical field and can result in hospital-acquired infections. Specifically, ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) occurs with the use of an endotracheal tube (ETT). Infections often require use of antibiotics and can result in patient mortality. Our review includes a summary of the recent collective work of antimicrobial ETT modifications and potential avenues for further investigations in an effort to reduce VAP associated with ETTs. Polymer modifications with antibacterial nature have been developed and tested; however, a focus on ETTs is lacking and clinical availability of new antimicrobial ETT devices is limited. Our collective work shows the successful and prospective applications to the surfaces of ETTs that can support researchers and physicians to create safer medical devices.

Abstract
Herein, we report on the use of a combined setup of quartz-crystal microbalance, with dissipation monitoring and spectroscopic ellipsometry, to comprehensively investigate the covalent immobilization of an enzyme to a polymer layer. All steps of the covalent reaction of the model enzyme glucose oxidase with the poly(acrylic acid) brush by carbodiimide chemistry, were monitored in-situ. Data were analyzed using optical and viscoelastic modeling. A nearly complete collapse of the polymer chains was found upon activation of the carboxylic acid groups with N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide and N-Hydroxysuccinimide. The reaction with the amine groups of the enzyme occurs simultaneously with re-hydration of the polymer layer. Significantly more enzyme was immobilized on the surface compared to physical adsorption at similar conditions, at the same pH. It was found that the pH responsive swelling behavior was almost not affected by the presence of the enzyme.

Abstract
Biofilm-associated infections of medical devices are a global problem. For the prevention of such infections, biomaterial surfaces are chemically or topographically modified to slow down the initial stages of biofilm formation. In the bifunctional material here presented, chemical and topographical cues are combined, so that protein and bacterial adhesion as well as bacterial proliferation are effectively inhibited. Upon changes in the surface topography parameters and investigation of the effect of these changes on bioactivity, structure-property relationships are obtained. The target material is obtained by microcontact printing (μCP), a soft lithography method. The antimicrobial component, poly(oxanorbornene)-based synthetic mimics of an antimicrobial peptide (SMAMP), was printed onto a protein-repellent polysulfobetaine hydrogel, so that bifunctional 3D structured polymer surfaces with 1, 2, and 8.5 μm spacing are obtained. These surfaces are characterized with fluorescence microscopy, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and contact angle measurements. Biological studies show that the bifunctional surfaces with 1 and 2 μm spacing are 100% antimicrobially active against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, 100% fibrinogen-repellent, and nontoxic to human gingival mucosal keratinocytes. At 8.5 μm spacing, the broad-band antimicrobial activity and the protein repellency are compromised, which indicates that this spacing is above the upper limit for effective simultaneous antimicrobial activity and protein repellency of polyzwitterionic-polycationic materials.

Abstract
We used hairy nanocrystalline cellulose functionalized with aldehyde groups, otherwise known as sterically stabilized nanocrystalline cellulose (SNCC), to facilitate the attachment of the antibacterial agents lysozyme and nisin. Immobilization was achieved using a simple, green process that does not require any linker or activator. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses showed successful attachment of both nisin and lysozyme onto the SNCC. The efficacy of the conjugated nanocellulose against the model bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus was tested in terms of bacterial growth, cell viability, and biofilm formation/removal. The results show that the minimum inhibitory concentration of the conjugated nanocellulose is higher than that of lysozyme and nisin in free form, which was expected given that immobilization reduces the possible spatial orientations of these proteins. We observed that free nisin is not active against S. aureus after 24 h of exposure due to either deactivation of free nisin or development of resistance in S. aureus against free nisin. Interestingly, we did not observe this phenomenon when the bacteria were exposed to antibacterials immobilized on nanocellulose, suggesting that immobilization of antibacterial agents onto SNCC effectively retains their activity over long time periods. We suggest that antibacterial SNCC is a promising candidate for the development of antibacterial wound dressings.

Abstract
Stainless steel (SS) has been widely used as a material for fabricating cardiovascular stents/valves, orthopedic prosthesis, and other devices and implants used in biomedicine due to its malleability and resistance to corrosion and fatigue. Despite its good mechanical properties, SS (as other metals) lacks biofunctionality. To be successfully used as a biomaterial, SS must be made resistant to the biological environment by increasing its anti-fouling properties, preventing biofilm formation (passive surface modification), and imparting functionality for eluting a specific drug or capturing selected cells (active surface modification); these features depend on the final application. Various physico-chemical techniques, including plasma vapor deposition, electrochemical treatment, and attachment of different linkers that add functional groups, are used to obtain SS with increased corrosion resistance, improved osseointegration capabilities, added hemocompatibility, and enhanced antibacterial properties. Existing literature on this topic is extensive and has not been covered in an integrated way in previous reviews. This review aims to fill this gap, by surveying the literature on SS surface modification methods, as well as modification routes tailored for specific biomedical applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Stainless steel (SS) is widely used in many biomedical applications including bone implants and cardiovascular stents due to its good mechanical properties, biocompatibility and low price. Surface modification allows improving its characteristics without compromising its important bulk properties. SS with improved blood compatibility (blood contacting implants), enhanced ability to resist bacterial infection (long-term devices), better integration with a tissue (bone implants) are examples of successful SS surface modifications. Existing literature on this topic is extensive and has not been covered in an integrated way in previous reviews. This review paper aims to fill this gap, by surveying the literature on SS surface modification methods, as well as to provide guidance for selecting appropriate modification routes tailored for specific biomedical applications.

Abstract
Drug resistance occurrence is a global healthcare concern responsible for the increased morbidity and mortality in hospitals, time of hospitalisation and huge financial loss. The failure of the most antibiotics to kill "superbugs" poses the urgent need to develop innovative strategies aimed at not only controlling bacterial infection but also the spread of resistance. The prevention of pathogen host invasion by inhibiting bacterial virulence and biofilm formation, and the utilisation of bactericidal agents with different mode of action than classic antibiotics are the two most promising new alternative strategies to overcome antibiotic resistance. Based on these novel approaches, researchers are developing different advanced materials (nanoparticles, hydrogels and surface coatings) with novel antimicrobial properties. In this review, we summarise the recent advances in terms of engineered materials to prevent bacteria-resistant infections according to the antimicrobial strategies underlying their design.

Abstract
AIMS Pathogenic bacteria can spread between individuals or between food items via the surfaces they share. Limiting the survival of pathogens on surfaces, therefore, presents an opportunity to limit at least one route of how pathogens spread. In this study, we propose that a simple coating with the essential oil isoeugenol can be used to circumvent the problem of bacterial transfer via surfaces. METHODS AND RESULTS Two commonly used materials, stainless steel and polyethylene, were coated by physical adsorption, and the coatings were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and water contact angle measurements. We quantified and visualized the colonization of coated and uncoated surfaces by three bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Pseudomonas fluorescens. No viable cells were detected on surfaces coated with isoeugenol. CONCLUSIONS The isoeugenol coating prepared with simple adsorption proved effective in preventing biofilm formation on stainless steel and polyethylene surfaces. The result was caused by the antibacterial effect of isoeugenol, as the coating did not diminish the adhesive properties of the surface. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Our study demonstrates that a simple isoeugenol coating can prevent biofilm formation of S. aureus, L. monocytogenes and P. fluorescens on two commonly used surfaces.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogenic micro-organism responsible for many hospital-acquired infections. It is able to adhere to solid surfaces and develop an immobilized community or so-called biofilm. Many studies have been focusing on the use of specific materials to prevent the formation of these biofilms, but the reactivity of the bacteria in contact to surfaces remains unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the abiotic surface on the physiology of adherent bacteria. Three different materials, stainless steel (SS), glass (G), and polystyrene (PS) that were relevant to industrial or medical environments were characterized at the physicochemical level in terms of their hydrophobicity and roughness. We showed that SS was moderately hydrophilic and rough, potentially containing crevices, G was hydrophilic and smooth while PS was hydrophobic and smooth. We further showed that P. aeruginosa cells were more likely able to adhere to SS and G rather than PS surfaces under our experimental conditions. The physiological response of P. aeruginosa when adhering to each of these materials was then evaluated by global proteomic analysis. The abundance of 70 proteins was shown to differ between the materials suggesting that their abundance was modified as a function of the material to which bacteria adhered. Our data lead to enabling the identification of abundance patterns that appeared to be specific to a given surface. Taken together, our data showed that P. aeruginosa is capable of sensing and responding to a surface probably via specific programmes to adapt its physiological response accordingly.

Abstract
Numerous antimicrobial coatings have been developed for biomedical devices/implants, but few can simultaneously fulfill the requirements for antimicrobial and antifouling ability and biocompatibility. In this study, to develop an antimicrobial and antibiofilm surface coating, diblock amphiphilic molecules with antimicrobial and antifouling segments in a single chain were rationally designed and synthesized. Cationic antimicrobial polypeptides (AMP) were first synthesized by N-carboxyanhydride ring-opening polymerization (NCA-ROP). Heterofunctionalized poly(ethylene glycol) with different lengths (methacrylate-PEGn-tosyl, n=10/45/90) was synthesized and site-specifically conjugated with polypeptides to form diblock amphiphiles. Along with increased PEG chain length, hemolytic activity was considerably improved, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity is retained. Three MA-PEGn-b-AMP copolymers were further grafted onto the surface of silicone rubber (a commonly used catheter material) via plasma/UV-induced surface polymerizations to form a bottlebrush-like coating with excellent antimicrobial activity against several pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus), and effectively prevent biofilm formation. This bottlebrush coating also greatly reduced protein adsorption and platelet adhesion, indicating its excellent antifouling ability. An in vitro cytotoxicity study also demonstrated that this coating is biocompatible with mammalian cells. After subcutaneous implantation of the materials in rats, we demonstrated that the g-PEG45-b-AMP bottlebrush coating exhibits significant anti-infective activity in vivo. Thus, this facilely synthesized PEGylated AMP bottlebrush coating is a feasible method to prevent biomedical devices-associated infections. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Current antimicrobial coatings are often associated with concerns such as antibiotic resistance, environmental pollution, short-time antimicrobial activity, biofouling, poor blood compatibility and cytotoxicity, etc. To overcome these drawbacks, a robust PEGylated cationic amphiphilic peptides-based bottlebrush-like surface coating is demonstrated here, which fulfil the requirements of antimicrobial and antifouling as well as biocompatibility in the meantime. Briefly, the rational designed g-PEGn-b-AMP block copolymers (n=10/45/90) were synthesized and grafted on silicone surface. This bottlebrush-like coating efficiently kill the contacted bacteria and prevent the biofilm formation, greatly reduced protein and platelet adhesion. It also exhibits excellent blood compatibility and low cytotoxicity in vitro. In particular, g-PEG45-b-AMP coating exhibits significant anti-infection effect in vivo. This coating offering an effective strategy for combating biomedical devices-associated infections.

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