Immobilization of antibacterial dihydropyrrol-2-ones on functional polymer supports to prevent bacterial infections in vivo.

چکیده
Antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is of great concern, as it causes a wide range of life-threatening infections. The current study demonstrates that dihydropyrrolone (DHP)-coated polyacrylamide substrates are effective in reducing the number of culturable clinical isolates of S. aureus in vitro in a dose-dependent manner and are able to reduce the pathogenic potential of staphylococcal infection in a subcutaneous infection model. Covalently bound DHPs therefore show great potential for use as an antimicrobial strategy in device-related applications.

Surface Immobilization of Antibacterial Quorum Sensing Inhibitors by Photochemical Activation
Infection of implanted medical devices is one of the major causes of nosocomial infections. A significant proportion of the devices become colonized by bacterial biofilms, thus resulting in high morbidity and risk of mortality. This study focuses on the non-specific covalent attachment of potent quorum sensing (QS) and biofilm inhibiting compounds, furanones (FUs) and dihydropyrrol-2-ones (DHPs...

A series of sorbents containing various amounts of borate groups were prepared by chemical immobilization ofP-aminoethylphenylboric acid on a copolymer- treated organosilane spacer glass plates. It was found thatbaker's yeast cells selectively adhered to these supports. Yeast cells stained with procion red HE-3B formeddenser and more stable layer on the copolymer-grafted supports compared onto ...
