Incorporation and antimicrobial activity of nisin Z within carrageenan/chitosan multilayers. Sci Rep 2021; 11:1690.

Abstract
An antimicrobial peptide, nisin Z, was embedded within polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) composed of natural polysaccharides in order to explore the potential of forming a multilayer with antimicrobial properties. Using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR FTIR), the formation of carrageenan/chitosan multilayers and the inclusion of nisin Z in two different configurations was investigated. Approximately 0.89 µg cm-2 nisin Z was contained within a 4.5 bilayer film. The antimicrobial properties of these films were also investigated. The peptide containing films were able to kill over 90% and 99% of planktonic and biofilm cells, respectively, against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains compared to control films. Additionally, surface topography and wettability studies using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the captive bubble technique revealed that surface roughness and hydrophobicity was similar for both nisin containing multilayers. This suggests that the antimicrobial efficacy of the peptide is unaffected by its location within the multilayer. Overall, these results demonstrate the potential to embed and protect natural antimicrobials within a multilayer to create functionalised coatings that may be desired by industry, such as in the food, biomaterials, and pharmaceutical industry sectors.

Recent Advancements in the Use of Aerosol-Assisted Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Deposition. COATINGS 2020. [DOI: 10.3390/coatings10050440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Atmospheric pressure plasma allows for the easy modification of materials’ surfaces for a wide range of technological applications. Coupling the aerosol injection of precursors with atmospheric pressure plasma largely extends the versatility of this kind of process; in fact solid and, in general, scarcely volatile precursors can be delivered to the plasma, extending the variety of chemical pathways to surface modification. This review provides an overview of the state of the art of aerosol-assisted atmospheric pressure plasma deposition. Advantages (many), and drawbacks (few) will be illustrated, as well as hints as to the correct coupling of the atomization source with the plasma to obtain specific coatings. In particular, the deposition of different organic, hybrid inorganic–organic and bioactive nanocomposite coatings will be discussed. Finally, it will be shown that, in particular cases, unique core–shell nanocapsules can be obtained.

Abstract
The efficacy of surface topology and chemistry on the ability for a surface to retain antimicrobial performance via the immobilization of a peptide was evaluated. A nanosecond pulsed laser was used to create oxide films on Ti-6Al-4V and 304L stainless steel. The laser conditions employed created a mudflat cracked surface on titanium, but no cracks on the steel. An antimicrobial peptide, nisin, was infused into the cracked and uncracked oxide surfaces to provide antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria; Listeria monocytogenes was chosen as the model microorganism. Release tests in distilled water at room temperature show that nisin is slowly liberated from the uncracked stainless steel surface, while there was no evidence of nisin liberation from the cracked titanium alloy surfaces, likely due to immobilization of the peptide into the artificially created micro-cracks on the surface of this alloy. Surfaces treated with nisin became active and exhibit anti-microbial performance against L. monocytogenes; this behavior is mostly retained after scrubbing/washing and simple immersion in water.
