Photodynamic Antimicrobial Polymers
2019Photodynamic antimicrobial polymers are materials that exert an antimicrobial effect when irradiated with a specific light source. This light-triggered activity is considered advantageous, as it allows fine control of the antimicrobial effect, minimising the possible adverse effects and propagation of antimicrobial resistance commonly associated with ...

Amphiphilic Branched Polymers as Antimicrobial Agents
Macromolecular Bioscience, 2008AbstractCationic amphiphilic polymers were prepared from PEI and functional ethylene carbonates bearing cationic, hydrophobic or amphiphilic groups. The polymers are designed to exhibit antimicrobial properties. In a one‐step addition, different functional ethylene carbonates were added to react with the primary amine groups of PEI.

Biomimetic Antimicrobial Polymers
2019Increased levels of antibiotic drug resistance of virulent bacteria is an urgent healthcare issue that needs to be rethought, not in terms of producing more potent antibiotics, but requiring a paradigm shift. A class of small proteins called host defense peptides are a promising area to understand the evolution of such peptides as an integral part of ...

Nontoxic, Hydrophilic Cationic Polymers—Identified as Class of Antimicrobial Polymers
Macromolecular Bioscience, 2015Amphiphilic polycations are an alternative to biocides but also toxic to mammalian cells. Antimicrobially active hydrophilic polycations based on 1,4‐dibromo‐2‐butene and tetramethyl‐1,3‐propanediamine named PBI are not hemotoxic for porcine red blood cells with a hemocytotoxicity (HC50) of more than 40 000 μg · mL−1. They are quickly killing bacterial

Functionalisation of polymers into hydrophobic antimicrobial materials
2020Infections with microorganisms resistant to antibiotics have a world frequency ranging from 20 to 50 cases per 100, 000 inhabitants per year, with 10% to 30% of infections ending with a deadly outcome. This number is greater than the sum of the deaths caused by AIDS, tuberculosis and viral hepatitis together.
