“…Apart from the problems caused by SARS-CoV-2 in health clinics such as shortage of medical equipment, PPE, and medicine; a collapse in service provision; mental problems in health workers; and infections produced during hospitalization (HAIs) by human pathogens such as Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Klebsiella pneumoniae , and others, should be considered. It is well known that HAIs are often caused by surgical wounds, respiratory infections, cross-infection, or immune response infections [ 58 ].…”

COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent severe problems in health centers and public areas. Polyester/cotton (PES/CO) blend fabrics have been functionalized with copper oxides on an industrial scale. For functionalization, the impregnation dyeing technique was applied. The functionalized samples were tested virologically against SARS-CoV-2 and human coronavirus (229E) according to ISO 18184-2019 and microbiologically against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) bacteria according to ASTM E2149-2013. The results show that the fabric functionalized with copper oxides inactivated both viruses after 30 min of exposure, presenting excellent virucidal activity against 229E and SARS-CoV-2, respectively. Furthermore, its inactivation efficiency for SARS-CoV-2 was 99.93% and 99.96% in 30 min and 60 min exposure, respectively. The fabric inhibited bacterial growth by more than 99% before and after 10 and 20 washes. In conclusion, 265 m of PES/CO fabric (wide 1.7 m) was functionalized in situ on an industrial scale with copper oxide nanoparticles. The functionalized fabric presented virucidal and bactericidal properties against SARS-CoV-2 and Escherichia coli.

The global demand for food and healthcare products based on natural compounds means that the industrial and scientific sectors are on a continuous search for natural colored compounds that can contribute to the replacement of synthetic colors. Natural pigments are a heterogeneous group of chemical molecules, widely distributed in nature. Recently, the interest in marine organisms has increased as they represent the most varied environment in the world and provide a wide range of colored compounds with bioactive properties and biotechnological applications in areas such as the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and textile industries. The use of marine-derived pigments has increased during the last two decades because they are environmentally safe and healthy compounds. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current knowledge of sources, applications, and sustainability of the most important marine pigments. In addition, alternatives to protect these compounds from environmental conditions and their applications in the industrial sector are reviewed.

“…The effect of the pigment has been observed to vary according to if the bacteria is Gram-positive or negative. Prodigiosin is known to lyse Gram-positive bacterial cell walls leading to their death, while in the case of Gram-negative bacteria it affects gene expression and protein synthesis eventually altering the cellular life cycle and metabolism [ 24 ].…”

“…Prodigiosin is considered as the most important candidate for cancer treatment due to its low toxic effect over normal cells, and it has application as a natural colorant. Other possible applications that have recently emerged is the use of the molecule as a pH indicator, a UV ray protector, an autofluorescence product, and its application as a controlling agent in the formation of biofilm [ 16 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. So far, the factors that have been identified that affect the production of prodigiosin are the type of microorganism, culture medium, incubation time, temperature, nitrogen, and phosphorus concentration, inorganic salts, and pH [ 15 , 20 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Bionanocomposites based on natural bioactive entities have gained importance due to their abundance; renewable and environmentally benign nature; and outstanding properties with applied perspective. Additionally, their formulation with biological molecules with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities has been produced nowadays. The present review details the state of the art and the importance of this pyrrolic compound produced by microorganisms, with interest towards Serratia marcescens, including production strategies at a laboratory level and scale-up to bioreactors. Promising results of its biological activity have been reported to date, and the advances and applications in bionanocomposites are the most recent strategy to potentiate and to obtain new carriers for the transport and controlled release of prodigiosin. Prodigiosin, a bioactive secondary metabolite, produced by Serratia marcescens, is an effective proapoptotic agent against bacterial and fungal strains as well as cancer cell lines. Furthermore, this molecule presents antioxidant activity, which makes it ideal for treating wounds and promoting the general improvement of the immune system. Likewise, some of the characteristics of prodigiosin, such as hydrophobicity, limit its use for medical and biotechnological applications; however, this can be overcome by using it as a component of a bionanocomposite. This review focuses on the chemistry and the structure of the bionanocomposites currently developed using biorenewable resources. Moreover, the work illuminates recent developments in pyrrole-based bionanocomposites, with special insight to its application in the medical area.
