Abstract
Typical antibiotic treatments are often ineffectual against biofilm-related infections since bacteria residing within biofilms have developed various mechanisms to resist antibiotics. To overcome these limitations, antimicrobial-loaded liposomal nanoparticles are a promising anti-biofilm strategy as they have demonstrated improved antibiotic delivery and eradication of bacteria residing in biofilms. Antibiotic-loaded liposomal nanoparticles revealed remarkably higher antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities than free drugs in experimental settings. Moreover, liposomal nanoparticles can be used efficaciously for the combinational delivery of antibiotics and other antimicrobial compounds/peptide which facilitate, for instance, significant breakdown of the biofilm matrix, increased bacterial elimination from biofilms and depletion of metabolic activity of various pathogens. Drug-loaded liposomes have mitigated recurrent infections and are considered a promising tool to address challenges associated to antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that surface charge and polyethylene glycol modification of liposomes have a notable impact on their antibacterial biofilm activity. Future investigations should tackle the persistent hurdles associated with development of safe and effective liposomes for clinical application and investigate novel antibacterial treatments, including CRISPR-Cas gene editing, natural compounds, phages, and nano-mediated approaches. Herein, we emphasize the significance of liposomes in inhibition and eradication of various bacterial biofilms, their challenges, recent advances, and future perspectives.

Abstract
Respiratory diseases (RD) are a group of common ailments with a rapidly increasing global prevalence, posing a significant threat to humanity, especially the elderly population, and imposing a substantial burden on society and the economy. RD represents an unmet medical need that requires the development of viable pharmacotherapies. While various promising strategies have been devised to advance potential treatments for RD, their implementation has been hindered by difficulties in drug delivery, particularly in critically ill patients. Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions for delivering medications to the inflamed organ sites, such as the lungs. Although this approach is enticing, delivering nanomedicine to the lungs presents complex challenges that require sophisticated techniques. In this context, we review the potential of novel nanomedicine-based immunomodulatory strategies that could offer therapeutic benefits in managing this pressing health condition.

Abstract
Biofilm-associated infections are one of the most challenging healthcare threats for humans, accounting for 80% of bacterial infections, leading to persistent and chronic infections. The conventional antibiotics still face their dilemma of poor therapeutic effects due to the high tolerance and resistance led by bacterial biofilm barriers. Nanotechnology-based antimicrobials, nanoparticles (NPs), are paid attention extensively and considered as promising alternative. This review focuses on the whole journey of NPs against biofilm-associated infections, and to clarify it clearly, the journey is divided into four processes in sequence as 1) Targeting biofilms, 2) Penetrating biofilm barrier, 3) Attaching to bacterial cells, and 4) Translocating through bacterial cell envelope. Through outlining the compositions and properties of biofilms and bacteria cells, recent advances and present the strategies of each process are comprehensively discussed to combat biofilm-associated infections, as well as the combined strategies against these infections with drug resistance, aiming to guide the rational design and facilitate wide application of NPs in biofilm-associated infections.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance arises over time, usually due to genetic modifications. Global observations of high resistance rates to popular antibiotics used to treat common bacterial diseases, such as diarrhea, STIs, sepsis, and urinary tract infections, indicate that our supply of effective antibiotics is running low. The mechanisms of action of several antibiotic groups are covered in this review. Antimicrobials disrupt the development and metabolism of bacteria, leading to their eventual death. However, in recent years, microorganisms become resistant to the drugs. Bacteria encode resistant genes against antibiotics and inhibit the function of antibiotics by reducing the uptake of drugs, modifying the enzyme's active site, synthesizing enzymes to degrade antibiotics, and changing the structure of ribosomal subunits. Additionally, the methods of action of resistant bacteria against different kinds of antibiotics as well as their modes of action are discussed. Besides, the resistant pathogenic bacteria which get the most priority by World Health Organisation (WHO) for synthesizing new drugs, have also been incorporated. To overcome antimicrobial resistance, nanomaterials are used to increase the efficacy of antimicrobial drugs. Metallic, inorganic, and polymer-based nanoparticles once conjugated with antibacterial drugs, exhibit synergistic effects by increasing the efficacy of the drugs by inhibiting bacterial growth. Nanomaterial's toxic properties are proportional to their concentrations. Higher concentration nanomaterials are more toxic to the cells. In this review, the toxic properties of nanomaterials on lung cells, lymph nodes, and neuronal cells are also summarized.

Abstract
Bacterial infection and chronic inflammation are two major risks in diabetic wound healing, which increase patient mortality. In this study, a multifunctional sprayable nanogel (Ag-G@CS) based on chitosan has been developed to synergistically inhibit bacterial infection, eradicate biofilm, and relieve inflammation of diabetic wounds. The nanogel is successfully crafted by encapsulating with a nitric oxide (NO) donor and performing in-situ reduction of silver nanoparticles (Ag). The released NO enhances the antibacterial efficacy of Ag, nearly achieving complete eradication of biofilms in vitro. Upon application on both normal or diabetic chronic wounds, the combination effects of released NO and Ag offer a notable antibacterial effect. Furthermore, after bacteria inhibition and biofilm eradication, the NO released by the nanogel orchestrates a transformation of M1 macrophages into M2 macrophages, significantly reducing tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) release and relieving inflammation. Remarkably, the released NO also promotes M2a to M2c macrophages, thereby facilitating tissue remodeling in chronic wounds. More importantly, it upregulates the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), further accelerating the wound healing process. Collectively, the formed sprayable nanogel exhibits excellent inhibition of bacterial infections and biofilms, and promotes chronic wound healing via inflammation resolution, which has excellent potential for clinical use in the future.

Abstract
Bacterial infection continues to be an increasing global health problem with the most widely accepted treatment paradigms restricted to antibiotics. However, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics have triggered multidrug resistance of bacteria, frustrating therapeutic outcomes, and leading to higher mortality rates. Even worse, the tendency of bacteria to form biofilms on living and nonliving surfaces further increases the difficulty in confronting bacteria because the extracellular matrix can act as a robust barrier to prevent the penetration of antibiotics and resist environmental damage. As a result, the inability to eliminate bacteria and biofilms often leads to persistent infection, implant failure, and device damage. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to develop alternative antimicrobial agents while avoiding the generation of bacterial resistance to prevent the large-scale growth of bacterial resistance. In recent years, nano-antibacterial materials have played a vital role in the antibacterial field because of their excellent physical and chemical properties. This review focuses on new physicochemical antibacterial strategies and versatile antibacterial nanomaterials, especially the mechanism and types of 2D antibacterial nanomaterials. In addition, this advanced review provides guidance on the development direction of antibiotic-free disinfections in the antibacterial field in the future.

Abstract
Biofilms are abundantly present in both natural and engineered environmental systems and will likely influence broader particle fate and transport phenomena. While some developed models describe the interactions between nanoparticles and biofilms, studies are only beginning to uncover the complexity of nanoparticle diffusion patterns. With the knowledge of the nanoparticle potential to influence bacterial processes, more systematic studies are needed to uncover the dynamics of bacteria-nanoparticle interactions. This study explored specific microbial responses to nanoparticles and the heterogeneity of nanoparticle diffusion. Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms (cultivated for 48 and 96 hours, representing early and late stages of development) were exposed to charged (aminated and carboxylated) polystyrene nanoparticles. With a combination of advanced fluorescence microscopy and real time quantitative PCR, we characterized the diffusion of polystyrene nanoparticles in P. aeruginosa biofilms and evaluated how biofilms respond to the presence of nanoparticles in terms of the expression of key EPS production-associated genes (pelA and rpsL) and quorum-sensing associated (lasR) genes. Our findings show that nanoparticle diffusion coefficients are independent of the particle surface charge only in mature biofilms and that the presence of nanoparticles influences bacterial gene expression. Independent of the particle's charge polystyrene nanoparticles down-regulated pelA in mature biofilms. By contrast, charge-specific responses were identified in lasR and rpsL gene expression. The targeted genes expression analysis and heterogeneous diffusion models demonstrate that particle charge influences nanoparticle mobility and provides significant insight into the intrinsic structural heterogeneity of P. aeruginosa biofilms. These findings suggest that biofilm maturity and particle charge are essential factors to consider when evaluating the transport of nanoparticles within a biofilm matrix.

Abstract
A biofilm is a population of sessile microorganisms that has a distinct organized structure and characteristics like channels and projections. Good oral hygiene and reduction in the prevalence of periodontal diseases arise from minimal biofilm accumulation in the mouth, however, studies focusing on modifying the ecology of oral biofilms have not yet been consistently effective. The self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances and greater antibiotic resistance make it difficult to target and eliminate biofilm infections, which lead to serious clinical consequences that are often lethal. Therefore, a better understanding is required to target and modify the ecology of biofilms in order to eradicate the infection, not only in instances of oral disorders but also in terms of nosocomial infections. The review focuses on several biofilm ecology modifiers to prevent biofilm infections, as well as the involvement of biofilm in antibiotic resistance, implants or in-dwelling device contamination, dental caries, and other periodontal disorders. It also discusses recent advances in nanotechnology that may lead to novel strategies for preventing and treating infections caused by biofilms as well as a novel outlook to infection control.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Biofilm occurs ubiquitously in water system. Excessive biofilm formation deteriorates severely system performance in several water and wastewater treatment processes. Quorum sensing systems were controlled in this study with a signal compound cis-2-Decenoic acid (CDA) to regulate various functions of microbial communities, including motility, enzyme production, and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) production in biofilm. METHODS The addition of CDA to six strains extracted from membrane bioreactor sludge and the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 strain was examined for modulating biofilm development by regulating DSF expression. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION As the CDA doses increased, optical density of the biofilm dispersion assay increased, and the decrease in EPS of the biofilm was obvious on membrane surfaces. The three-dimensional visual images and quantitative analyses of biofilm formation with CDA proved thinner, less massive, and more dispersive than those without; to evaluate its dispersive intensity, a dispersion index was proposed. This could compare the dispersive effects of CDA dosing to other biofilms or efficiencies of biofouling control practices such as backwashing or new cleaning methods.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of N-decanoyl-homoserine lactone (C10-HSL), one of the typical N-acyl-homoserine lactones on biological nitrogen removal (BNR) system to resist the acute exposure of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) has attracted extensive attentions. Nevertheless, the potential impact of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration on the regulatory capacity of C10-HSL in the BNR system has yet to be investigated. This study conducted a systematic investigation of the impact of DO concentration on the C10-HSL-regulated BNR system against short-term ZnO NP exposure. Based on the findings, sufficient DO played a crucial role to improve the BNR system's resistance capacity to ZnO NPs. Under the micro-aerobic condition (0.5 mg/L DO), the BNR system was more sensitive to ZnO NPs. The ZnO NPs induced increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, reduced antioxidant enzyme activities, and decreased specific ammonia oxidation rates in the BNR system. Furthermore, the exogenous C10-HSL had a positive effect on the BNR system's resistance to ZnO NP-induced stress, primarily by decreasing ZnO NPs-induced ROS generation and improving ammonia monooxygenase activities, especially under low DO concentrations. The findings contributed to the theoretical foundation for regulation strategy development of wastewater treatment plants under NP shock threat.

Abstract
Antimicrobial nanoparticles have gained the status of a new generation of drugs that can kill bacterial pathogens by multiple means; however, nanoparticle resistance acquired by some bacterial pathogens has evoked a cause of concern. Several reports suggested that bacteria can develop nanoparticles, specifically metal nanoparticle resistance, by mechanisms: nanoparticle transformation-induced oxidative stress, membrane alterations, reversible adaptive resistance, irreversible modifications to cell division, and a change in bacterial motility and resistance. Surface properties, concentration and aggregation of nanoparticles, biofilm forming and metal exclusion capacity, and R plasmid and flagellin synthesis by bacteria are crucial factors in the development of nanoparticle resistance in bacteria. Studies reported the resistance reversal by modifying the surface corona of nanoparticles or inhibiting flagellin production by bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, strict regulation regarding the use and disposal of nano-waste across the globe, the firm knowledge of microbe-nanoparticle interaction, and the regulated disposal of nanoparticles in soil and water is required to prevent microbes from developing nanoparticle resistance.

Abstract
The contamination of dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) is a major health concern since it can pose cross-infection risks among dental professionals and their patients. Silver is one of the widely used metals in medical fields due to its superior antimicrobial properties. Silver-based agents have been commercially available for the decontamination of dental unit water currently. This systematic review aims to examine the evidence supporting efficacy and safety of application of silver to decontaminate DUWLs. We performed a search of the peer-review literature of studies in six electronic databases using corresponding search terms. Eligibility was restricted to English-language studies exploring the application of silver to decontaminate dental unit water, e.g., silver-based disinfectants and silver-coated dental waterlines tubing. The search identified 148 articles, and 9 articles that met the criteria were synthesized with qualitative narrative analyses. We observed good evidence of antimicrobial efficacy of silver with hydrogen peroxide on diverse microorganism present in DUWLs. Furthermore, there is insufficient evidence on the application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as an efficient material to control the biofilms in DUWLs. Post-treatment data of either the bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects of silver or AgNPs, especially the actual clinical efficacy of long-term application, are scarce. More high-quality research is needed to resolve the gap on the optimal dosage and treatment options required to control bacterial and biofilm in DUWLs with silver-containing materials.

Abstract
Over the last decade, it has become clear that the pollution by plastic debris presents global societal, environmental, and human health challenges. Moreover, humans are exposed to plastic particles in daily life and very limited information is available concerning human health, especially interactions with biological fluids. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the interaction of plastic particles with simulated biological fluids (e.g., artificial saliva, artificial lysosomal fluid, phagolysosomal simulant fluid, and Gamble's solution) using various exposure stages (2 h to 80 h) and the effect of plastic particles on the formation of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms under simulated biological conditions. The plastic particles incubating various simulated biological fluids were characterized using surface functional groups, zeta potentials, and elemental composition. The results indicated that functional group indices (C-O, C = O, C-H, C = C, C-N, S = O, and OH) decreased compared to the control group during the incubation periods, except for the hydroxyl group index. The FTIR results showed that the hydroxyl group formed with the artificial lysosomal fluid, the phagolysosomal simulant fluid, and Gamble's solution. With the impact of the declining functional groups, the zeta potentials were more negative than in the control. Moreover, EDX results showed the release of the components in the particles with the interaction of simulated biological fluids as well as new components like P and Ca introduced to the particles. The biofilms were formed in the presence of nanoplastic particles under both controlled conditions and simulated biological conditions. The amount of biofilm formation was mainly affected by the surface characteristics under simulated biological conditions. In addition, the biofilm characteristics were influenced by the O/C and N/C ratios of the plastic particles with the impact of simulated biological fluids.

Abstract
Photodynamic antibacterial therapy has been considered as one of the most promising treatments to alleviate the spread of multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens. Given the hypoxic environment of infectious tissues, photosensitizers with reduced oxygen-demand could exhibit superiority upon irradiation. Herein reported is a novel C70-based photosensitizers synthesized by the facile one-step thiol-ene reaction. Various characterization techniques were employed to confirm the structural, photoluminescent properties, photostability and biocompatibility of the as-synthesized C70-COOH nanoparticles. Furthermore, they were capable of efficiently producing reactive oxygen species following both the type I and II mechanistic pathways, thus still generating adequate free radicals under hypoxic condition. Therefore, they could approach and destroy the bacterial cell membrane in the presence of visible light, thereby causing cytoplasmic leakage and eventually achieving broad-spectrum inactivation of four representative bacterial strains. Especially, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were completely eliminated after merely 10 minutes irradiation, and the formation of its corresponding biofilm were also greatly inhibited by C70-COOH nanoparticles. These results provide new insights and opportunities for the development of hypoxia-tolerant fullerene-based photosensitizers to combat multidrug resistant bacterial and related infections.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are considered a promising tool in the context of biofilm control. Many studies have shown that different types of NPs can interfere with the bacterial metabolism and cellular membranes, thus making them potential antibacterial agents; however, fundamental understanding is still lacking on the exact mechanisms involved in these actions. The development of NP-based approaches for effective biofilm control also requires a thorough understanding of how the chosen nanoparticles will interact with the biofilm itself, and in particular with the biofilm self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix (EPS). This work aims to provide advances in the understanding of the interaction between engineered fluorescent pluronic silica (PluS) nanoparticles and bacterial biofilms, with a main focus on the role of the EPS matrix in the accumulation and diffusion of the particles in the biofilm. It is demonstrated that particle surface chemistry has a key role in the different lateral distribution and specific affinity to the biofilm matrix components. The results presented in this study contribute to our understanding of biofilm-NP interactions and promote the principle of the rational design of smart nanoparticles as an important tool for antibiofilm technology.

Abstract
Organically-coated nanomaterials are intensively studied and find numerous applications in a wide range of areas from optics to biomedicine. One of the recent trends in material science is the application of bio-mimetic polydopamine coatings that can be produced on a variety of substrates in a cost-efficient way under mild conditions. Such coatings not only modify the biocompatibility of the material but also add functional amino groups to the surface that can be further modified by classic conjugation techniques. Here we show an alternative strategy for substrates modification using dopamine conjugates instead of native dopamine. Compared to the classic scheme, the proposed strategy allows separation of the “organic” and “colloidal” stages, and simplified identification and purification steps. Modification with pre-modified dopamine made it possible to achieve high loading capacities with active components up to 10.5% wt. A series of organo-inorganic hybrids were synthesized and their bioactivity was analyzed.

Abstract
The design of metal nanoparticle-modified polymer surfaces in a green and scalable way is both desirable and highly challenging. Herein, a new green low-temperature plasma-based in situ surface reduction strategy termed plasma electroless reduction (PER) is reported for achieving in situ metallic nanostructuring on polymer surfaces. Proof of concept for this new method was first demonstrated on hydrophilic cellulose papers. Cellulose papers were dip-coated with different metal ion (Ag+ and Au3+) solutions and then subjected to hydrogen plasma treatment for this PER process. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis has revealed that this PER process caused anisotropic growth of either gold or silver nanoparticles, resulting in the time-dependent formation of both distinct spherical nanoparticles (∼20 nm) and anisotropic 2D nanosheets. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the adaptability of this process by applying it to hydrophobic fibrous and 3D printed polymeric materials such as surgical face masks and 3D printed polylactic acid scaffolds. The PER process on these hydrophobic polymer surfaces was accomplished via a sequential combination of air plasma and hydrogen plasma treatment. The metallic nanostructuring caused by the PER process on these hydrophobic surfaces was systematically studied using different surface imaging techniques including 3D confocal laser surface scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. We have also systematically optimized the PER process on the surface of 3D scaffolds via varying the concentration of the silver ion precursor and by different postprocessing methods such as sonication and medium soaking. These optimization processes were found to be very important in generating uniform metallic nanoparticle-modified 3D printed scaffolds while simultaneously improving cytocompatibility. Through joint disk diffusion and inhibitory concentration testing, the antibacterial efficacy of silver coatings on face masks and 3D scaffolds was established. Altogether, these results clearly suggest the excellent futuristic potential of this new PER method for designing metallic nanostructured interfaces for different biomedical applications.

Abstract
Despite a lot of research on the antibacterial effect of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, their interactions with biofilm matrix have not been well understood. The surface charge of nanoparticles mainly determines their ability to adhere on the biofilm. In this work, negatively charged Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a trisodium citrate-assisted solvothermal method and then the surfaces were functionalized using polyethyleneimine (PEI) to obtain positively charged Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of both negatively and positively charged Fe3O4 nanoparticles in an alternating magnetic field were then systematically investigated. The positively charged Fe3O4 nanoparticles showed a strong self-adsorbed attachment ability to the planktonic and sessile cells, resulting in a better antibacterial activity and enhanced biofilm eradication performance compared to the conventional Fe3O4 nanoparticles with negative charges. Fe3O4@PEI nanoparticles produced physical stress and thermal damage in response to an alternating magnetic field, inducing the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species into live bacterial cells, bacterial membrane damage, and biofilm dispersion. Utilizing an alternating magnetic field along with positively charged nanoparticles leads to a synergistic antibacterial approach to improve the antibiofilm performance of magnetic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms are responsible for the development of various chronic wound-related and implant-mediated infections and confer protection to the pathogenic bacteria against antimicrobial drugs and host immune responses. Hence, biofilm-mediated chronic infections have created a tremendous burden upon healthcare systems worldwide. The development of biofilms upon the surface of medical implants has resulted in the failure of various implant-based surgeries and therapies. Although different conventional chemical and physical agents are used as antimicrobials, they fail to kill the sessile forms of bacterial pathogens due to the resistance exerted by the exopolysaccharide (EPS) matrices of the biofilm. One of the major techniques used in addressing such a problem is to directly check the biofilm formation by the use of novel antibiofilm materials, local drug delivery, and device-associated surface modifications, but the success of these techniques is still limited. The immense expansion in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology has resulted in the development of novel nanomaterials as biocidal agents that can be either easily integrated within biomaterials to prevent the colonization of microbial cells or directly approach the pathogen overcoming the biofilm matrix. The antibiofilm efficacies of these nanomaterials are accomplished by the generation of oxidative stresses and through alterations of the genetic expressions. Microorganism-assisted synthesis of nanomaterials paved the path to success in such therapeutic approaches and is found to be more acceptable for its "greener" approach. Metallic nanoparticles functionalized with microbial enzymes, silver-platinum nanohybrids (AgPtNHs), bacterial nanowires, superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4), and nanoparticles synthesized by both magnetotactic and non-magnetotactic bacteria showed are some of the examples of such agents used to attack the EPS.

Abstract
Increased applications of quantum dots (QDs) in the biomedical field have aroused attention for their potential toxicological effects. Although numerous studies have been carried out on the toxicity of QDs, their effects on reproductive and development are still unclear. In this study, we systematically evaluated the male reproductive toxicity and developmental toxicity of CdSe/ZnS QDs in BALB/c mice. The male mice were injected intravenously with CdSe/ZnS QDs at the dosage of 2.5 mg/kg BW or 25 mg/kg BW, respectively, and the survival status, biodistribution of QDs in testes, serum sex hormone levels, histopathology, sperm motility and acrosome integrity was measured on Day 1, 7, 14, 28 and 42 after injection. On Day 35 after treatment, male mice were housed with non-exposed female mice, and then offspring number, body weight, organ index and histopathology of major organs, blood routine and biochemical tests of offspring were measured to evaluate the fertility and offspring health. The results showed that CdSe/ZnS QDs could rapidly distribute in the testis, and the fluorescence of QDs could still be detected on Day 42 post-injection. QDs had no adverse effect on the structure of testis and epididymis, but high-dose QDs could induce apoptosis of Leydig cells in testis at an early stage. No significant differences in survival of state, body weight organ index of testis and epididymis, sex hormones levels, sperm quality, sperm acrosome integrity and fertility of male mice were observed in QDs exposed groups. However, the development of offspring was obviously influenced, which was mainly manifested in the slow growth of offspring, changes in organ index of main organs, and the abnormality of liver and kidney function parameters. Our findings revealed that CdSe/ZnS QDs were able to cross the blood-testis barrier (BTB), produce no discernible toxic effects on the male reproductive system, but could affect the healthy growth of future generations to some extent. In view of the broad application prospect of QDs in biomedical fields, our findings might provide insight into the biological safety evaluation of the reproductive health of QDs.

J Adv Res 2021; 31:113-126. [PMID: 34194836 PMCID: PMC8240115 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2020.12.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Revised: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Biostimulation and toxicity constitute the continuous response spectrum of a biological organism against physicochemical or biological factors. Among the environmental agents capable of inducing biostimulation or toxicity are nanomaterials. On the < 100 nm scale, nanomaterials impose both physical effects resulting from the core’s and corona’s surface properties, and chemical effects related to the core’s composition and the corona’s functional groups. Aim of Review The purpose of this review is to describe the impact of nanomaterials on microorganisms and plants, considering two of the most studied physical and chemical properties: size and concentration. Key Scientific Concepts of Review Using a graphical analysis, the presence of a continuous biostimulation-toxicity spectrum is shown considering different biological responses. In microorganisms, the results showed high susceptibility to nanomaterials. Simultaneously, in plants, a hormetic response was found related to nanomaterials concentration and, in a few cases, a positive response in the smaller nanomaterials when these were applied at a higher level. With the above, it is concluded that: (1) microorganisms are more susceptible to nanomaterials than plants, (2) practically all nanomaterials seem to induce responses from biostimulation to toxicity in plants, and (3) the kind of response observed will depend in a complex way on the nanomateriaĺs physical and chemical characteristics, of the biological species with which they interact, and of the form and route of application and on the nature of the medium -soil, soil pore water, and biological surfaces- where the interaction occurs.

Abstract
This study was aimed at synthesizing polyethyleneimine-coated magnetic nanoparticles and evaluating their effect on pathogenic bacteria. Polyethyleneimine-coated magnetite (PEIMnF) and nickel ferrite (PEINF) nanoparticles were succesfully synthesized and their surface groups, morphology and chemical structures were characterized using ATR-FTIR (Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourrier Transformed Infra-Red) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). TGA (Thermogravimetric analysis) was used to analyse the thermal behaviour and stability of synthesized nanomaterials. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the polyethylene imine coated magnetite and nickel ferrite nanomaterials against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans was found to be 10 mg/mL. Both nanomaterials (PEIMnF and PEINF) showed very excellent and concentration-dependent biofilm inhibition especially at the highest test concentration of 10 mg/mL at which PEIMnF inhibited biofilm formation on E. coli (89.04 ± 0.50%), S. aureus (82.85 ± 2.42%) and C. albicans (91.37 ± 0.66%). At this concentration, PEINF equally inhibited biofilm formations of E. coli (90.48 ± 2.05%), S. aureus (87.04 ± 1.59%) and C. albicans (90.94 ± 1.03%). Only PEINF showed a concentration-dependent violacein inhibition with highest inhibition of 51.2 ± 3.5% at MIC and quorum sensing with inhibition zones of 16.3 ± 1.0 mm at MIC and 11.5 ± 0.5 mm at MIC/2 which could be attributed to the presence of nickel. The nanomaterials inhibited swimming and swarming motilities in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 and it was found that at the same concentration, swimming inhibition was greater than swarming inhibitions and PEINF showed better inhibition than PEIMnF in both models. Polyethyleneimine-coated magnetite and nickel ferrite nanomaterials could be used in overcoming health problems associated with microbial infections and resistance.

Abstract
Many bacteria have the capability to form a three-dimensional, strongly adherent network called 'biofilm'. Biofilms provide adherence, resourcing nutrients and offer protection to bacterial cells. They are involved in pathogenesis, disease progression and resistance to almost all classical antibiotics. The need for new antimicrobial therapies has led to exploring applications of gold and silver nanoparticles against bacterial biofilms. These nanoparticles and their respective ions exert antimicrobial action by damaging the biofilm structure, biofilm components and hampering bacterial metabolism via various mechanisms. While exerting the antimicrobial activity, these nanoparticles approach the biofilm, penetrate it, migrate internally and interact with key components of biofilm such as polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids via electrostatic, hydrophobic, hydrogen-bonding, Van der Waals and ionic interactions. Few bacterial biofilms also show resistance to these nanoparticles through similar interactions. The nature of these interactions and overall antimicrobial effect depend on the physicochemical properties of biofilm and nanoparticles. Hence, study of these interactions and participating molecular players is of prime importance, with which one can modulate properties of nanoparticles to get maximal antibacterial effects against a wide spectrum of bacterial pathogens. This article provides a comprehensive review of research specifically directed to understand the molecular interactions of gold and silver nanoparticles with various bacterial biofilms.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the interaction of submicron-sized bioplastics with environmentally and clinically important bacteria under seawater and sediment conditions. To examine the relationship between submicron-sized bioplastics and bacteria in seawater and sediment, we focused on the bacterial activation and their biochemical key events toward the protein, carbohydrate, lipid, and antioxidant response. In addition, culture-dependent biofilm formation on submicron-sized bioplastics and their characterization was performed. The results indicated that selected bacteria increased their viability both in seawater and sediment with the submicron-sized bioplastics in that the bioplastics decreased their mass at the level of 10-23%. However, the activation level and mechanism affected the polymer type, bacteria, and environmental media, and submicron-sized bioplastics promoted biofilm formation with enhancing basophilic characteristics of biofilms.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) superficial bacterial infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter sp. and Klebsiella sp. have emerged as major threats toward global health care management. In search of a novel antimicrobial, our main objectives were to explore the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and wound healing potential of glutathione and citrate-capped copper oxide nanoparticles (CuNPs) against gram-negative MDR pathogens Klebsiella quasipneumoniae and Enterobacter sp., ensuring the lowest possible host cell nano-cytotoxicity and minimum susceptibility of the CuNPs toward oxidation. The CuNPs were found to elicit reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation within bacterial cells, inhibiting the bacterial growth and division. They contributed to the remodeling of the bacterial lipopolysaccharide, induced membrane lysis, and promoted antibiofilm activities by reduced cell-cell aggregation and matrix destabilization while displaying excellent biocompatibility against HEK-293 and HeLa cell lines. The CuNPs were also instrumental in preventing postsurgical wound infections and aiding in wound closure in the murine excisional wound model, as observed in albino Wistar rats, forcing us to believe that the CuNPs are bioactive in wound therapy. The results are encouraging and demands further experimental exploitation of the particles in treating other MDR gram-negative infections, irrespective of their resistance status.

Abstract
Bovine mastitis (BM) is the most prevalent bacterial infection in the livestock sector, affecting the dairy industry greatly. The prevention and treatment of this disease is mainly made via antibiotics, but the increasing antimicrobial resistance of pathogens has affected the efficiency of conventional drugs. Pseudomonas sp. is one of the pathogens involved in this infection. The therapeutic rate of cure for this environmental mastitis-causing pathogen is practically zero, regardless of treatment. Biofilm formation has been one of the main virulence mechanisms of Pseudomonas hence presenting resistance to antibiotic therapy. We have manufactured chitosan nanoparticles (NQo) with tripolyphosphate (TPP) using ionotropic gelation. These NQo were confronted against a Pseudomonas sp. strain isolated from milk samples of cows diagnosed with BM, to evaluate their antimicrobial and antibiofilm capacity. The NQo showed great antibacterial effect in the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and disk diffusion assays. Using sub lethal concentrations, NQo were tested for inhibition of biofilm formation. The results show that the nanoparticles exhibited biofilm inhibition and were capable of eradicate pre-existing mature biofilm. These findings indicate that the NQo could act as a potential alternative to antibiotic treatment of BM.

Abstract
Skin infections caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi are difficult to treat by conventional topical administration because of poor drug penetration across the stratum corneum. This results in low bioavailability of drugs to the infection site, as well as the lack of prolonged release. Emerging antimicrobial transdermal and ocular microneedle patches have become promising medical devices for the delivery of various antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral therapeutics. In the present review, skin anatomy and its barriers along with skin infection are discussed. Potential strategies for designing antimicrobial microneedles and their targeted therapy are outlined. Finally, biosensing microneedle patches associated with personalized drug therapy and selective toxicity toward specific microbial species are discussed.

Abstract
Micron/submicron-sized plastic debris in the environment is a global issue of increasing concern and may harm human health. A large number of studies have shown that plastic debris has various toxicological effects on different organisms. Thus, efforts have increased to replace conventional plastics with bioplastics. However, investigations on the relation of submicron-sized bioplastics- and conventional plastics to culture-dependent biofilm formation and their similarities and discrepancies are still very limited. For this purpose, two end products made from bioplastics and their equivalent end products from conventional plastics were used to examine the response of the biofilm formation of selected clinically important bacteria. To evaluate the similarities and differences of submicron-sized bioplastics and conventional plastics on biofilm formation, the physicochemistry (particle size, zeta potential, chemical composition, and surface chemistry) of the tested plastics was examined, as well as the characteristics of the biofilms (categorization, protein/carbohydrate).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Virus, as nano-sized microorganisms are prevalent in aquifers, which threaten groundwater quality and human health wellbeing. Virus inactivation by attachment onto the limestone surfaces is a determining factor in the transport and retention behavior of virus in carbonaceous aquifers. METHODS In the present study, the inactivation of MS2 -as a model virus- by attachment onto the surfaces of limestone grains was investigated in a series of batch experiments under different conditions such as limestone particle size distribution (0.25-0.50, 0.5-1 and 1-2 mm), treated wastewater and RO water, temperature (4 and 22 °C), initial MS2 concentrations (103-107 PFU/mL) and static and dynamic conditions. The experimental data of MS2 inactivation was also fitted to a non-linear kinetic model with shoulder and tailing. The characteristics of biofilm on the surfaces of limestone aquifer materials were assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). RESULTS The inactivation rate of virus decreased with increasing the adsorbent diameter. Furthermore, virus inactivation was greater at room temperature (22 °C) than 4 °C, in both static and dynamic conditions. The inactivation of virus via attachment onto the limestone aquifer materials in dynamic conditions was higher than under static conditions. In addition, fitting the experimental data with a kinetic model showed that virus inactivation was high at higher temperature, smaller limestone grains and dynamic conditions. Moreover, the experiments with treated wastewater showed that in authentic aqueous media, the virus inactivation was considerably higher than in RO water, due to the presence of either monovalent or divalent cations and surface roughness created by biofilms. CONCLUSION Finally, in terms of managed aquifer recharge systems, the presence of biofilm increases bacteria and virus retention onto the aquifer surfaces. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The attachment of microbial communities to surfaces is a well-known problem recognized to be involved in a variety of critical issues in the sectors of food processing, chronic wounds, infection from implants, clogging of membranes and corrosion of equipment. Considering the importance of the detrimental impact of biofouling, it has received much attention in the scientific community and from concerned stakeholders. With the development of nanotechnology and the nowadays widespread use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs), concerns have been raised regarding their fate in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Safety aspects and public health issues are critical in the management of handling nanomaterials and their nanowastes. The interactions of various types of nanoparticles (NPs) with planktonic bacteria have also received attention due to their antimicrobial properties. However, their behavior in regard to biofilms is not well understood although, in the environment, most of the bacteria prefer living in sessile communities. The question appears relevant considering the need to build knowledge on the fate of nanoparticles and the fact that no one can exclude the risk of accumulation of nanoparticles in biofilms and on surfaces leading to a form of nanofouling involving both engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) and nanoplastics. The present analysis of recent research accounts allows in identifying that (1) research activities related to water remediation systems have been mostly oriented on the impact of NPs on pre-existing biofilms, (2) experimental designs are restricted to few scenarios of exposure, usually limited to relative short-time periods although nanofouling could favour the development of multi-resistant bacterial species through sub-lethal exposures over prolong periods of time (3) nanofouling in other systems in which biofilms develop remains to be addressed, and (4) new research directions are required for investigating the mechanisms involved and the subsequent impact of nanofouling on bacterial consortium responses encountered in a variety of environments such as those prevailing in food production/processing settings. Finally, this review aims at providing recent information and insights on nanoparticle-bacterial interactions in the context of biofilms in order to supply an updated outlook of research perspectives that could help establish the framework for production, use and fate of nanomaterials as well as future research directions.

Abstract
Biofilm formation is one of the resistance mechanisms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa against antimicrobial compounds. Biofilm formation also characterizes for the infection and pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa, along with production of various virulence factors. With recent development of nanotechnology, the present study aims to employ the synthetic iron nanoparticle (FeOOH-NP) as an active agent to inhibit the formation of P. aeruginosa biofilm. The FeOOH-NP was synthesized and characterized with rod shape and average size of 40 nm. Inhibition of biofilm formation by the FeOOH-NP is in a concentration-dependent manner, with inhibition of biofilm formation increased as the FeOOH-NP concentration increased. Microscopic observations also confirmed the disruption of the biofilm architecture in the presence of the FeOOH-NP. In addition, the presence of the FeOOH-NP was also found to modulate bacterial motility as well as some other important virulence factors produced simultaneously with biofilm formation. These findings provide insights to anti-biofilm effect of a new iron NP, contributing to the search for an effective agent to combat P. aeruginosa infections resulted from biofilm formation.

Abstract
Concern regarding the potential negative impacts of released engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) on pollutant removal performance of wastewater treatment systems has received booming attention in recent years. However, the conclusions drawn from different studies often lead to fragmented overall knowledge, some of which are even contradictory. This scenario shows the necessity for a comprehensive review of the interactions of ENPs in wastewater treatment systems, particularly on the impacts of ENPs on microbial processes of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) removal in water treatment systems. This review introduced the impact of 6 often reported ENPs in 5 types of treatment systems. We found that exposure to most of the investigated ENPs at low concentrations doesn't adversely influence the growth of the heterotrophic microbes, which are responsible for organic matter removal. The impacts of ENPs on various microbial nitrogen transformation processes have been investigated. Dosing of ENPs often causes acute microbial nitrogen removal inhibition at various concentrations, but does not influence long-term operation due to microbial adaption. No significant negative effects on biological phosphorus removal in different wastewater treatment processes have been reported after both short-term and long-term exposure (except copper nanoparticles). Environmentally relevant concentrations of ENPs have been reported to enhance the photosynthetic capacity of wetland plants, whereas chronic inhibition to photosynthesis was found in exposure to high concentrations of ENPs. Inhibition effects are often overestimated in pure cultivated toxicity test assays compared to testing with artificially prepared wastewater containing various ingredients or with real wastewater. Potential ligands in real wastewater can bind with ENPs and lower their dissolution. Some challenges exist regarding detection and quantification techniques of ENPs at environmental concentrations, modeling of engineered nanomaterial release on a worldwide scale, and inhibitory mechanisms to microbial transformations.
