Fabrication of Novel Antimicrobial Bio-Fibers Using Silk Wastage, Study of Poly (hexamethylene) Biguanide, and Silver Nanoparticles Interaction

open access: closedJournal of Natural Fibers, 2017
Regenerated silk fibers were fabricated through dry-wet spinning process using N-methyl morpholine N-oxide and methanol as solvent and coagulant, respectively. Several concentrations of poly (hexamethylene) biguanide (PHMB) (0.27, 0.41, and 0.55 mL per 1

Study on the Development of Antiviral Spandex Fabric Coated with Poly(hexamethylene biguanide) Hydrochloride (PHMB). [PDF]

open access: goldPolymers (Basel), 2021
The spread of COVID-19 has brought about huge losses around the world. This study aims to investigate the applicability of PHMB used for developing antiviral spandex clothing against coronavirus. PHMB was qualitatively determined on the surface of spandex fabrics by using BPB.

Improved Adsorption of the Antimicrobial Agent Poly (Hexamethylene) Biguanide on Ti-Al-V Alloys by NaOH Treatment and Impact of Mass Coverage and Contamination on Cytocompatibility [PDF]

open access: goldCoatings, 2021
Unlike the native surface of the implant material (Ti6Al4V), oxidation with H2O2 leads to increased binding of the effective antimicrobial agent poly(hexamethylene) biguanide [PHMB]. However, treating with NaOH instead results in an even higher PHMB mass coverage.

Sterilized Polyhexanide-Releasing Chitosan Membranes with Potential for Use in Antimicrobial Wound Dressings [PDF]

open access: yesMembranes, 2023
Wound infection is a common complication of chronic wounds. It can impair healing, which may not occur without external help. Antimicrobial dressings (AMDs) are a type of external help to infected chronic wounds.

Understanding the biocide action of poly(hexamethylene biguanide) using Langmuir monolayers of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylglycerol

open access: greenColloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2015
The disinfectant activity of poly(hexamethylene biguanide) (PHMB) has been explored in industrial applications, in agriculture and in food manipulation, but this biocide action is not completely understood. It is believed to arise from electrostatic interactions between the polyhexanide group and phosphatidylglycerol, which is the main phospholipid on ...

Polyhexanide-Releasing Membranes for Antimicrobial Wound Dressings: A Critical Review [PDF]

open access: yesMembranes, 2022
The prevalence of chronic, non-healing skin wounds in the general population, most notably diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers and pressure ulcers, is approximately 2% and is expected to increase, driven mostly by the aging population and the steady ...

In vitro response of THP-1 derived macrophages to antimicrobially effective PHMB-coated Ti6Al4V alloy implant material with and without contamination with S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa [PDF]

open access: yesBiomaterials Research, 2022
Aim Periprosthetic joint infections are a devastating complication after arthroplasty, leading to rejection of the prosthesis. The prevention of septic loosening may be possible by an antimicrobial coating of the implant surface.

Comparison of the in vitro antibiofilm activities of otic cleansers against canine otitis externa pathogens [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 148-158, April 2025.
Background – Biofilm production by canine otitis externa (COE) pathogens and resistance development to multiple antimicrobials are commonly reported problems in veterinary practice. The use of adjuvants to disrupt biofilms may be a viable adjunctive therapy.

Opinion of the scientific committee on consumer safety (SCCS) – 2nd Revision of the safety of the use of poly(hexamethylene) biguanide hydrochloride or polyaminopropyl biguanide (PHMB) in cosmetic products

open access: greenRegulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2015
Conclusion of the opinion: On the basis of the data available, the SCCS concludes that Polyaminopropyl Biguanide (PHMB) is not safe for consumers when used as a preservative in cosmetic spray formulations and in all cosmetic products up to the maximum concentration of 0.3%.
