Investigation and comparison of antibacterial property of bamboo plants, natural bamboo fibers and commercial bamboo viscose textiles

Natural Biomaterials from Biodiversity for Healthcare Applications

“…[ 216 ] This is confirmed when mussel extracts joined the specimens of incised pork skin in an end‐to‐end configuration yielding similar results as commercially available adhesive fibrin (Tisseelt) and cyanoacrylate (ethyl cyanoacrylate, Loctite45404). [ 217 ] Moreover, in vitro and in vivo studies reported the biocompatibility of sandcastle worm glue coacervate adhesive complex using rat calvarium models for craniofacial reconstruction. [ 218 ] This adhesive maintains the 3D bone alignment in freely moving rats within a 12‐week indwelling time.…”

“…studied the antibacterial properties of 12 commercial bamboo viscose textiles, 4 bamboo species, and 12 natural bamboo fibers. [ 217 ] While a viscose product showed a strong antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus , the other samples had only a slight one. Likewise, cellulose fibers extracted from Curcuma longa stems exhibited antimicrobial activity against both Gram+ and − bacteria.…”

Antimicrobial Properties of Bamboo Fibres

“…Since the zone of inhibition technique is not suitable and not highly precise for non-fabric specimens, this study was conducted on spectrophotometric and viable plate counting techniques to assess the antibacterial property of different types of specimens. Since the natural bacterial inhibition/reduction of the fibers is generally not very high and thus the change in Optical Density (OD) is very low, the spectrophotometric technique was found to be unsuitable for such tests [42]. The viable plate counting was revealed to be very suitable for almost all types of samples such as fabrics, fibers, and crushed raw bamboo samples.…”

In situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles on bamboo viscose fibers

“…7 However, when considering public health, especially for medical protection and wound dressings, 8–10 the antibacterial property of pure bamboo viscose fiber is not ideal in practical applications due to the fact that it provides a growing environment for microorganisms. 11–13…”

“…7 However, when considering public health, especially for medical protection and wound dressings, [8][9][10] the antibacterial property of pure bamboo viscose fiber is not ideal in practical applications due to the fact that it provides a growing environment for microorganisms. [11][12][13] The antibacterial properties of silver have been known for 2000 years. 14 Silver and silver ions have been investigated for antibacterial effects on 650 strains of bacteria.…”
