AI Article Synopsis

  • The study created magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) nanohybrids by adding iron oxide nanoparticles to graphene oxide, and then modified them by attaching gentamicin sulfate (GS) through a simple chemical process.
  • The GS-MGO nanohybrids retained their magnetic properties and demonstrated strong antibacterial effects against various types of bacteria, achieving up to 100% efficacy at certain concentrations.
  • Additionally, the GS-MGO had impressive non-leaching and recycling capabilities, maintaining antibacterial effectiveness even after multiple uses, highlighting its potential as a sustainable antimicrobial agent.

Article Abstract

In this study, magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) nanohybrids were first prepared by loading FeO NPs onto graphene oxide (GO). Then, GS-MGO nanohybrids were prepared by grafting gentamicin sulfate (GS) onto MGO directly using a simple amidation reaction. The prepared GS-MGO had the same magnetism as MGO. They exhibited excellent antibacterial ability against Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria. The GS-MGO had excellent antibacterial performance against (), (), and (). When the addition concentration of GS-MGO was 1.25 mg/mL, the calculated bacteriostatic ratios against and achieved 89.8% and 100%, respectively. For , only 0.05 mg/mL of GS-MGO had an antibacterial ratio as high as 99%. In addition, the prepared GS-MGO nanohybrids also exhibited excellent non-leaching activity with good recycling antibacterial ability. After eight times antibacterial tests, GS-MGO nanohybrids still exhibited an excellent inhibition effect on , and . Therefore, as a non-leaching antibacterial agent, the fabricated GS-MGO nanohybrid had dramatic antibacterial properties and also showed great recycling ability. Thus, it displayed great potential in the design of novel recycling antibacterial agents with non-leaching activity.

Intelligent electronic textiles have important application value in the field of wearable electronics due to their unique structure, flexibility, and breathability. However, the currently reported electronic textiles are still challenged by issues such as their biocompatibility, photothermal conversion, and electromagnetic wave contamination. Herein, a multifunctional biomass-based conductive coating was developed using natural carboxymethyl starch (CMS), dopamine and polypyrrole (PPy) and then further employed for constructing multifunctional intelligent electronic textiles.

Among individuals who wear removable dentures, there is a significant likelihood, reaching up to 70 %, of experiencing a condition known as denture-induced stomatitis. To address this issue, a commonly used method involves soaking dentures in denture cleansers to eliminate microorganisms. However, the prolonged use of this cleaning method has resulted in the emergence of drug resistance.

Oral ulcers are prone to recurrence and often complicated by bacterial infections. Currently, antibiotics, glucocorticoids, and anesthetics are commonly employed in clinical practice to alleviate symptoms. However, these medications exhibit limited retention in the moist and dynamic environment of the oral cavity, and their long-term use may lead to various side effects or drug resistance.

The urgent need to address the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance in multidrug-resistant bacteria requires the development of pioneering approaches to treatment. The present study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of the essential oils (EOs) of Moringa oleifera (moringa), Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon), and Nigella sativa (black seed) and the synergistic effect of the mixture of these oils against Staphylococcus aureus MCC 1351. Statistical modeling revealed cinnamon oil had the highest individual antimicrobial potency, followed by black seed oil.
