“…The intensi ed spread of infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi poses a continuous threat to animals, plants, and human health. 1,2 Surfaces made of synthetic polymers easily attract pathogenic microorganisms and play an essential role in infection transmission. 3 Among polymers, LDPE is the most widely used polymer for food packaging, food conservation, agriculture, and healthcare applications.…”

This paper presents, for the first time, compression molding of peptide assemblies with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) for the robust production of antimicrobial polymeric films. The peptide self-assembles in an aqueous medium into spherical structures with antimicrobial properties. After lyophilization, used to yield a fine powder, these particles were melt-compounded at 160°C with LDPE, followed by compression molding to produce 100 µm thick polymeric films. These films showed a significant reduction in the number of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. These innovative active polymeric films can potentially be applied for medical device wrapping, food packaging, and agriculture applications where crop protection is needed.

“…Antibiotic misuse in both animals and humans, frequently with minimal or no therapeutic value, is a major contributor to resistance 4 . It was hypothesized that the significant role in the spread of antibiotic resistance is the pressure placed by antibiotic treatments on bacteria other than the targeted pathogenic organisms (“bystander selection”) 8 , 9 . The mobile resistance genes such as New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) and mcr-1 are quickly propagating around the world and causing resistance to a wide range of antibiotics, such as cephalosporins, penicillin, and carbapenems 10 .…”
