A major challenge in antibacterial surface preparation is the elaborated implementation of controlled antibacterial agent delivery on demand, typically at appropriate concentrations and sites, which can be an efficient way to lower bacteria resistance and improve therapy effectiveness. Herein, we present a bacterial hyaluronidase (HAase) and pH dual-responsive antimicrobial surface, which is constructed by sequential layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of NHS-PEG-NHS (PEG-bis(succinimidyl succinate)) and PEI (polyethylenimine), immobilization of antibiotic vancomycin (Van) by an acid-labile β-carboxylic linker and electrostatic adsorption of HA. The HA upper layer can endow the multilayer surface with excellent biocompatibility under normal physiological conditions. Once bacteria invade, the secreted HAase specifically enzymolyzes the HA layer, and then the bound Van will be released in response to the bacteria-triggered local acidification to eliminate bacteria. Our work provides a versatile strategy in the design of a smart antibacterial surface with controlled antibacterial agent delivery, implying great potential for application in infection-resistant medical devices.

Chitosan is a kind of natural material with many unique physicochemical and biological properties related to antibacterial, antioxidant, and chelating. In recent years, chitosan-based nano gels (CS-NG) have been widely used in the field of cancer nanomedicine due to their excellent characteristics including biodegradability, biocompatibility, flexibility, large surface area, controllability, high loading capacity, and especially it can be engineered to become stimuli-responsive to tumor environments. In this review, we summarized the main synthesis approaches of CS-NGs including radical polymerization, self-assembly, microemulsion, and ionic gelation methods.

Fortimicins (FTMs) are fortamine-containing aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGAs) produced by M. olivasterospora DSM 43868 with excellent bactericidal activities against a wide range of Enterobacteriaceae and synergistic activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. Fortimicin-A (FTM-A), the most active member of FTMs, has the lowest susceptibility to inactivation by the aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs).

This study introduces an innovative bio-based sorbent bead crafted by integrating chitosan (CS) biopolymers, Fe(NO3)3 and polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) via glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The primary focus of this study was the concurrent separation of diverse tetracycline antibiotics (TCs), followed by rigorous reversed-phase liquid chromatography analysis. The fabricated CS/Fe@PDA sorbent beads were comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, revealing a surface rich in active carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) moieties.

Fruit preservation materials play an instrumental role in preventing fruit deterioration and extending shelf life. However, existing fresh-keeping materials often prove inadequate in simultaneously achieving antibacterial properties, maintaining freshness, antioxidant effects, good biocompatibility, and prolonged fruit shelf life. Therefore, we present the first preparation of a natural polysaccharide spray hydrogel (Q/O/Zn hydrogel), loaded with chlorogenic acid‑zinc nanoparticles (CA@ZnNPs), utilizing quaternary ammonium insect chitosan (QECS) and oxidized pullulan (OPUL) for the preservation of perishable fruits.

Despite significant progress in skin wound healing, it is still a challenge to construct multifunctional bioactive dressings based on a highly aligned protein fiber coated hydrogel matrix for antifibrosis skin wound regeneration that is indistinguishable to native skin. In this study, a "dual-wheel-driven" strategy is adopted to modify the surface of methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel with highly aligned magnetic nanocomposites-protein fiber assemblies (MPF) consisting of photothermal responsive antibacteria superparamagnetic nanocomposites-fibrinogen (Fg) complexes as the building blocks. Whole-phase healing properties of the modified hydrogel dressing, GelMA-MPF (GMPF), stem from the integration of Fg protein with RGD peptide activity decorated on the surface of the antibacterial magnetic nanoactuator, facilitating facile and reproducible dressing preparation by self-assembly and involving biochemical, morphological, and biophysical cues.
