“…Cotton fabrics coated with chitosan have presented reduction of 76–96% of S. aureus and 72–94% of E. coli growth ( Rahman Bhuiyan et al, 2017 ). Another study included the enhancement of antibacterial properties of cotton fabrics by coating herbal nanoparticles from Azadirachta indica resulting in 81% reduction of E. coli and 77% of S. aureus , respectively ( Subramani et al, 2017 ).…”

In the present study, crude bacterial extract containing violacein is investigated for the preparation of antimicrobial polyamide fabrics. The optimal culture conditions of Janthinobacterium lividum (JL) for maximum biomass and violacein production were found to be 25°C, pH 7.0, while the addition of ampicillin of 0.2 mg mL-1 in the small scale increased violacein production 1.3-fold. In scale-up trials, the addition of 1% (v/v) glycerol in a fed-batch bioreactor, resulted in fivefold extracted crude violacein increase with final concentration of 1.828 g L-1. Polyamide 6.6 fabrics were dyed following three different processes; through simultaneous fermentation and dyeing (SFD), by incubating the fabric in the sonicated bacterial culture after fermentation and by using cell-free extract containing violacein. Maximum color change (ΔE) and color strength (K/S) obtained for SFD fabrics were 74.81 and 22.01, respectively, while no alteration of fastness and staining of dye at acid and alkaline perspiration or at water was indicated. The dyed fabrics presented significant antifungal activity against Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis, and C. krusei, as well as antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and the S. aureus MRSA. We have shown that J. lividum cultures can be successfully used for violacein production and for simultaneous dying of fabrics resulting in dyed fabrics with antimicrobial properties without utilization of organic solvents.

“…It was reported that treated fabrics did not only manifest desirable antimicrobial property, but it also revealed good washing durability as well as improved UVresistance properties. The notable active compounds present in the natural nanoparticle extract of the leaves includes nimbolide, mahmoodin, nimbidin, isomargolonone, margolonone, and margolone [108]. All of these have been reported to contribute to the antimicrobial properties of this extract [108].…”

Recently, there is a strengthening requirement for antimicrobial fabrics that are resistant to pathogens, offer greater hygiene, and are protective in an active lifestyle. Synthetic compounds have been applied to impart antimicrobial properties to the fabrics. In this paper, synthetic antimicrobial agents, namely quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), triclosan, and N-halamine are discussed along with their mechanisms of action. Research has been done on synthetic antimicrobial treatment of fabrics; the tested microorganisms used to determine their efficiency and durability are summarized. It is also found that although synthetic antimicrobial agents have excellent strength to kill the microorganisms, some of these antimicrobial agents are harmful and have adverse effects on the environment, safety, and health. Identification of these problems will provide future challenges to overcome and improve the techniques used for antimicrobial treatment of the fabrics. Based on the infromation presented herein, it is recommended that subsequent studies should consider the use of antimicrobial agents that are either obtained from plant sources or from microorganisms. On the other hand, nanotechnlogy should be explored for production of antimicrobial agents in further studies based on its potential to facilitate the production of environmentally benign antimicrobial agents. ABSTRAK: Kebelakangan ini, permintaan terhadap fabrik antimikrobial bagi mencegah jangkitan patogen, penjagaan kebersihan dan perlindungan bagi gaya hidup yang aktif semakin meningkat. Sebatian sintetik telah diguna pakai bagi menambah sifat antimikrobial pada fabrik. Di dalam artikel ini, agen antimikrob sintetik yang dinamakan sebagai sebatian ammonium kuater (QAC), polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), triclosan dan N-halamine serta mekanisma tindak balasnya telah dibincangkan. Penyelidikan telah dijalankan terhadap fabrik yang dirawat menggunakan agen antimikrob sintetik. Mikroorganisma yang digunakan bagi menentukan kecekapan dan daya tahan turut diringkaskan. Keputusan menunjukkan agen antimikrobial sintetik mempunyai tindak balas yang sangat baik untuk membunuh mikroorganisma, namun sebahagian agen antimikrobial ini berbahaya dan mempunyai kesan buruk terhadap alam sekitar, keselamatan dan kesihatan. Melalui kaedah kenal pasti masalah, ia dapat memberi solusi dan membaiki teknik rawatan antimikrobial pada fabrik pada masa hadapan. Hasil keputusan dan perbincangan menunjukkan kajian seterusnya harus menimbang penggunaan agen antimikrobial yang diperoleh dari sumber tumbuhan. Selain itu, nanoteknologi harus diterokai bagi pengeluaran agen antimikrobial berdasarkan potensinya yang mesra alam.

“…Thus, the investigation of materials for specific applications is highly recommended to avoid toxicity or minimize side effects 11 . Numerous attempts have been directed to investigate the potential biocidal and antimicrobial activities of biomaterials in various applications such as packaging, 12 engineering, 13 biomedical, 14‐17 and textiles 18 . However, there is insufficient information on the effects of crystallographic and morphological changes caused by calcination on calcined oyster shells properties, particularly antimicrobial activities.…”

To develop biocompatible antimicrobial agent, oyster shell wastes were thermally calcined at different temperatures ranging from 300 to 1000 °C. The chemical compositions and properties of oyster shells were characterized. As such, crystallographic analysis presented that oyster shells had a hexagonal crystalline shape, and calcination process reduced their crystalline size, volume (grain dimension), and bond length, which strongly affected antimicrobial efficacy. Results showed that the main components of uncalcined and calcined oyster shells were CaCO3 and CaO, by which CaO was found to be the main antimicrobial component. Notably, calcined oyster shells showed antimicrobial potency against both Gram‐negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram‐positive (Staphylococcus aureus). Furthermore, cytotoxicity analysis proved that calcined oyster shells had good cell viability and low cytotoxicity. Results highlighted that calcined oyster shells, particularly those treated at 750°C, could be a biocompatible alternative to synthetic biocidal and antimicrobial agents using in food packaging, biomedical, and cosmetic industries.
