Abstract
The escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance has become a global health crisis. Therefore, there is a rising momentum in developing biomaterials with self-sanitizing capabilities and inherent antibacterial properties. Despite their promising antimicrobial properties, metal nanoparticles (MNPs) have several disadvantages, including increased toxicity as the particle size decreases, leading to oxidative stress and DNA damage that need consideration. One solution is surface functionalization with biocompatible organic ligands, which can improve nanoparticle dispersibility, reduce aggregation, and enable targeted delivery to microbial cells. The existing research predominantly concentrates on the advancement of peptide-based hydrogels for coating materials to prevent bacterial infection, with limited exploration of developing surface coatings using organogels. Herein, we have synthesized organogel-based coatings doped with MNPs that can offer superior hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and high stability that are not easily achievable with hydrogels. The self-assembled gels displayed distinct morphologies, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The cross-linked matrix helps in the controlled and sustained release of MNPs at the site of bacterial infection. The synthesized self-assembled gel@MNPs exhibited excellent antibacterial properties against harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and reduced bacterial viability up to 95% within 4 h. Cytotoxicity testing against metazoan cells demonstrated that the gels doped with MNPs were nontoxic (IC50 > 100 μM) to mammalian cells. Furthermore, in this study, we coated the organogel@MNPs on cotton fabric and tested it against Gram +ve and Gram -ve bacteria. Additionally, the developed cotton fabric exhibited superhydrophobic properties and developed a barrier that limits the interaction between bacteria and the surface, making it difficult for bacteria to adhere and colonize, which holds potential as a valuable resource for self-cleaning coatings.

Yao N, Li W, Hu L, Fang N. Do mould inhibitors alter the microbial community structure and antibiotic resistance gene profiles on textiles? THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 911:168808. [PMID: 38000736 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Mould inhibitors are closely associated with human health and have been extensively applied to textiles to prevent mould and insect infestations. However, the impact of these mould inhibitors on the microbial community structure on textiles and antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) profiles remains largely unexplored. In this study, testing techniques, including high-throughput quantitative PCR and Illumina sequencing, were employed to analyse the effects of three types of mould inhibitors -para-dichlorobenzene (PDCB), naphthalene, and natural camphor balls-on the composition of microbial communities and ARG profiles. The microbial mechanisms underlying these effects were also investigated. The experiments revealed that PDCB reduced the diversity of bacterial communities on textiles, whereas naphthalene and natural camphor balls exerted relatively minor effects. In contrast with bacterial diversity, PDCB enhanced the diversity of fungal communities on textiles, but significantly reduced their abundance. Naphthalene had the least impact on fungal communities; however, it notably increased the relative abundance of Basidiomycota. All three types of mould inhibitors substantially altered ARG profiles. Potential mechanisms responsible for the alterations in ARG profiles include microbial community succession and horizontal gene transfer mediated by mobile genetic elements. PDCB prominently increased the abundance of ARGs, mainly attributable to the relative enrichment of potential hosts (including certain γ-Proteobacteria and Bacillales) for specific ARGs. Thus, this study has important implications for the selection of mould inhibitors, as well as the assessment of microbial safety in textiles.

Abstract
The ongoing worldwide pandemic due to COVID-19 has created awareness toward ensuring best practices to avoid the spread of microorganisms. In this regard, the research on creating a surface which destroys or inhibits the adherence of microbial/viral entities has gained renewed interest. Although many research reports are available on the antibacterial materials or coatings, there is a relatively small amount of data available on the use of antiviral materials. However, with more research geared toward this area, new information is being added to the literature every day. The combination of antibacterial and antiviral chemical entities represents a potentially path-breaking intervention to mitigate the spread of disease-causing agents. In this review, we have surveyed antibacterial and antiviral materials of various classes such as small-molecule organics, synthetic and biodegradable polymers, silver, TiO2, and copper-derived chemicals. The surface protection mechanisms of the materials against the pathogen colonies are discussed in detail, which highlights the key differences that could determine the parameters that would govern the future development of advanced antibacterial and antiviral materials and surfaces.

Abstract
Microbial contamination on cotton textiles (CT) negatively affects people's health as well as the textile itself during use and storage. Using antimicrobial CT in a body-safe manner is currently still a challenge because it is difficult to balance killing microbes and protecting skin flora. Herein, a borneol-decorated CT (BDCT) through coupling of borneol 4-formylbenzoate molecules onto the amino-modified CT is reported. This BDCT shows strong and broad-spectrum microbially antiadhesive activities against gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis), gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and fungi (Aspergillus niger, Mucor racemosus, and Candida albicans). Because of its unique stereochemical microbial antiadhesion mechanism, BDCT is harmless to skin flora. In addition, BDCT exhibits prominent durability of microbially antiadhesive capability by bearing 50 times of accelerated laundering. Therefore, this stereochemical BDCT strategy shows great potential for applications in the new generation of textiles, food packaging, and medical protection.

Abstract
Human health and industrial instruments have been suffering from bacterial colonization on the surface of materials for a long time. Recently, antibacterial coatings are regarded as the new strategy to resist bacterial pathogens. In this work, novel highly transparent and superhydrophobic coatings with extremely low bacterial adhesion and bactericidal performance were prepared by spray-coating hydrophobic silica sol and CuO nanoparticles. The coated glass showed high transmittance in 300-2500 nm with a maximum value of 96.6%. Compared with bare glass, its superhydrophobic characteristics resulted in a reduction in adhesion of bacteria ( Escherichia coli, E. coli) by up to 3.2 log cells/cm2. Additionally, the live/dead staining test indicated that the as-prepared coating exhibited excellent bactericidal performance against E. coli. Moreover, the as-prepared coating could maintain their superhydrophobicity after the sand impact test. The proposed method to fabricate such coatings could be applied on various substrates. Therefore, this novel hybrid surface with the abilities to reduce bacterial adhesion and kill attached bacteria make it a promising candidate for biosensors, microfluidics, bio-optical devices, household facilities, lab-on-chips, and touchscreen devices.

Abstract
Considerable attention has been devoted to producing antibacterial fabrics due to their very wide applications in medicine, hygiene, hospital, etc. However, the poor antibacterial durability and bad bacterial antiadhesion capacity of most existing antibacterial fabrics limit their applications. In this work, a series of antibacterial and polymeric quaternary ammonium monomers with different alkyl chain length were successfully synthesized to copolymerize with fluorine-containing and other acrylic monomers to generate cationic fluorinated polymer emulsions and durably antibacterial and bacterially antiadhesive cotton fabrics. The relation between antibacterial constituent and its antibacterial activity was investigated. The study indicated that the alkyl chain length and contents of the antibacterial monomers, as well as the add-on percentage of polymer greatly influenced the antibacterial activities of the fabrics. In addition, it was found that incorporation of fluorine component into the polymer greatly enhanced the antibacterial activity and bacterial antiadhesion of the treated fabrics due to the low surface energy induced hydrophobicity. Finally, antibacterial and antiadhesive models of action of the obtained fabrics were illustrated.
