From Antibacterial to Antibiofilm Targeting: An Emerging Paradigm Shift in the Development of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QACs)

ACS Infectious Diseases, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(3), P. 394 - 422

Published: Feb. 15, 2023

In a previous development stage, mostly individual antibacterial activity was target in the optimization of biologically active compounds and antiseptic agents. Although this targeting is still valuable, new trend has appeared since discovery superhigh resistance bacterial cells upon their aggregation into groups. Indeed, it now well established that great majority pathogenic germs are found environment as surface-associated microbial communities called biofilms. The protective properties biofilms resistance, even to high concentrations biocides, cause many chronic infections medical settings lead serious economic losses various areas. A paradigm shift from also affecting more complex cellular frameworks taking place involves multiple strategies for combating with effective at different stages microbiome formation. Quaternary ammonium (QACs) play key role these treatments prophylactic techniques on basis both use agents combination technologies. review, we summarize literature data effectiveness using commercially available newly synthesized QACs, synergistic treatment based them. As an important focus, developing applying antimicrobial coatings prevent formation surfaces over time discussed. information analyzed review will be useful researchers engineers working fields, including generation applied materials; understanding biofilm surface growth; conducting research medical, pharmaceutical, materials sciences. regular studies widely conducted, promising evaluate antibiofilm comprehensive study order meet current requirements highly needed practical applications.

Antibiotic‐Derived Carbon‐Nanodot‐Decorated Hydrogel for Reactive Oxygen Species‐Enhanced Anti‐Infection Through Biofilm Damage

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 33(29)

Published: April 2, 2023

Abstract Irreversible bacterial resistance and impenetrable biofilms have rendered conventional antibiotic therapy ineffective. Nevertheless, increasing evidence has confirmed that carbon nanodots (CDs) exhibit potent antibacterial activity. However, the complex chemical composition of CDs, and, hence, their mechanism, is difficult to understand. The design new CDs against an urgent requirement.In this study, kanamycin‐sulfate‐derived (KCDs) are found significant potential with assistance light irradiation. Systematic analysis indicates KCDs not only retain active structure kanamycin but also produce five components modified on its surface, which shown inhibit activity Staphylococcus aureus beta‐ketoacyl‐acp synthase III (FabH) through molecular docking. Furthermore, multifunctional hydrogels (CG‐KCDs) self‐assemble into injectable, self‐healing, antibiofilm structures noncovalent forces between cationic guar gum (CG). results indicate under laser, CG‐KCDs irradiation exhibits enhanced in vitro by damaging a reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐dependent manner, as determined transcriptomics. Further, therapeutic effects hydrogel dressings wound healing tissue remodeling laser using vivo infection model. These validate efficient agents replace antibiotics anti‐infective strategy.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a major complication of diabetes and associated with high risk lower limb amputation mortality. During their lifetime, 19%–34% patients can develop DFU. It estimated that 61% DFU become infected 15% those require amputation. Furthermore, developing increases the mortality by 50%–68% at 5 years, higher than some cancers. Current standard management includes surgical debridement, use topical dressings wound decompression, vascular assessment, glycemic control. Among these methods, local treatment builds protective physical barrier, maintains moist environment, drains exudate from wounds. This review summarizes development, pathophysiology, healing mechanisms The latest research progress main application in laboratory clinical stage are also summarized. discussed this include traditional (gauze, oil yarn, Chinese medicine, others), basic (hydrogel, hydrocolloid, sponge, foam, film agents, bacteriostatic dressings, composite (collagen, nanomaterials, chitosan bioactive (scaffold stem cells, decellularized matrix, autologous platelet enrichment plasma, modern technology (3D bioprinting, photothermal effects, bioelectric microneedle smart bandages, orthopedic prosthetics regenerative medicine). dressing challenges limitations purpose to help readers understand pathogenesis mechanism DFU, physicians select correctly, provide an updated overview potential biomaterials devices management, ideas for further exploration development dressings.

A Photo‐Therapeutic Nanocomposite with Bio‐Responsive Oxygen Self‐Supplying Combats Biofilm Infections and Inflammation from Drug‐Resistant Bacteria

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 33(37)

Published: May 25, 2023

Abstract The use of non‐antibiotic strategies to combat refractory drug‐resistant bacterial infections, especially biofilms and accompanying inflammation, has recently aroused widespread interest. Herein, a photo‐therapeutic nanocomposite with bio‐responsive oxygen (O 2 ) self‐supplying is introduced by integrating manganese dioxide (MnO nanozymes onto photosensitizer (indocyanine green, ICG)‐loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA), namely MI‐MPDA NPs. can activate O generation in the infection microenvironment, thereby effectively alleviating biofilm hypoxia. Under near‐infrared light (NIR) irradiation, continuous supplying further boosts level singlet ( 1 ), enabling robust elimination through ‐potentiated photodynamic/photothermal therapy. Interestingly, down‐regulates factor expression inflammatory signaling pathways MnO ‐mediated reactive species scavenging, which ameliorates condition. Meanwhile, prevents M1‐phenotype switch macrophages from overexpression hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1 α (HIF‐1 prompting macrophage reprogramming toward pro‐regenerative M2‐phenotype. In mouse models subcutaneous implant‐associated caused methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) burn Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms, NIR‐irradiated not only eliminates formed but also alleviates oxidative stress drives cascade reaction immunomodulation‐wound healing. Overall, this strategy provides reliable tool for combating infections inflammation bacteria.
