Anti-staphylococcal hydrogels based on bacterial cellulose and the antimicrobial biopolyester poly(3-hydroxy-acetylthioalkanoate-co-3-hydroxyalkanoate)

Physically crosslinked PVA/graphene-based materials/aloe vera hydrogel with antibacterial activity

“… 51 As an example, Rivero-Buceta et al investigated that the porosities in the hydrogel could increase the ability of the antibacterial agent to kill the bacteria as it can improve the release of the bioactive agents to interact directly with the bacteria. 52 …”

Functionalization and Antibacterial Applications of Cellulose-Based Composite Hydrogels

“…Apart from the antibacterial properties of cellulose-based hydrogels loaded with metal and their oxide nanoparticles, antibiotics, polymers and plant extracts, there are also some studies on the addition of other antibacterial materials to cellulose-based hydrogels. For example, using biopolyesters to provide antibacterial activity for cellulose-based hydrogels, Virginia Rivero-Buceta et al [173] prepared antibacterial biological polyesters bacterial cellulose composite hydrogel using bacterial fibers and antibacterial biological polyesters (3-hydroxyacetylthioalkanoic acid-co-3-hydroxyalkanoic acid, PHACOS) as raw materials, and tested the antibacterial activity of the hydrogel against S. aureus. It was found that when the mass fraction of PHACOS in the hydrogel is 20%, the hydrogel can kill more than 95% S. aureus, and the hydrogel has good mechanical and thermal properties, and can effectively promote wound healing.…”
