Abstract
Bacterial infections are of major medical concern due to antibiotic resistance. Carbon quantum dots (CDs) have emerged as potentially excellent biomaterials for multifunctional applications due to their low toxicity, outstanding water solubility, high fluorescence, and high biocompatibility. All of these properties allow CDs to be exceptional biomaterials for inhibiting the growth of bacteria and stopping biofilm formation due to their strong binding affinity, cell wall penetration, and solubilizing biofilm in water. Here, we describe a strategy for one-pot synthesis of histidine-derived zinc-doped N-doped CDs (Zn-NCDs) by a hydrothermal method for inhibiting the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria without harming mammalian cells. The NCDs and Zn-NCDs showed uniform sizes (∼6 nm), crystallinity, good photostability, high quantum yield (76%), and long decay time (∼5 ns). We also studied their utilization for live cell bio-imaging and the antimicrobial properties towards the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Importantly, the Zn-NCDs could penetrate the biofilm and bacterial cell wall to effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and subsequently inhibit biofilm formation. Thus, the structure, chemical composition, and low toxicity properties of the newly-developed Zn-NCDs exemplify a promising novel method for the preparation of nano-level antibacterial drugs.

Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) are the two surgical techniques generally used for periodontitis disease treatment. These techniques are based on a barrier membrane to direct the growth of new bone and gingival tissue at sites with insufficient volumes or dimensions of bone or gingiva for proper function, esthetics, or prosthetic restoration. Numerous studies have highlighted biocompatibility, space-creation, cell-blocking, bioactivity, and proper handling as essential characteristics of a membrane's performance. Given that bacterial infection is the primary cause of periodontitis, we strongly believe that addressing the antimicrobial properties of these membranes is of utmost importance. Indeed, the absence of effective inhibition of periodontal pathogens has been recognized as a primary factor contributing to the failure of GTR/GBR membranes. Therefore, we suggest considering antimicrobial properties as one of the key factors in the design of GTR/GBR membranes. Antibiotics are potent medications frequently administered systemically to combat microbes and mitigate bacterial infections. Nevertheless, the excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in a surge in bacterial resistance. To overcome this challenge, alternative antibacterial substances have been developed. In this review, we explore the utilization of alternative substances with antimicrobial properties for topical application in membranes. The use of antibacterial nanoparticles, phytochemical compounds, and antimicrobial peptides in this context was investigated. By carefully selecting and integrating antimicrobial agents into GTR/GBR membranes, we can significantly enhance their effectiveness in combating periodontitis. These antibacterial substances not only act as barriers against pathogenic bacteria but also promote the process of periodontal healing.

Abstract
The ever-increasing risks posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria have stimulated considerable interest in the development of novel antimicrobial strategies, including the use of nanomaterials that can be activated on demand and result in irreversible damage to pathogens. Microwave electric field-assisted bactericidal effects on representative Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains were achieved in the presence of hybrid polydopamine-silver nanoparticles (PDA-Ag NPs) under low-power microwave irradiation using a resonant cavity (1.3 W, 2.45 GHz). A 3-log reduction in the viability of bacterial populations was observed within 30 minutes which was attributed to the attachment of PDA-Ag NPs and associated membrane disruption in conjunction with the production of intra-bacterial reactive oxygen species (ROS). A synergistic effect between PDA and Ag has been demonstrated whereby PDA acts both as an Ag NP carrier and a microwave enhancer. These properties together with the remarkable adhesivity of PDA are opening a route to design of antibacterial adhesives and surface coatings for prevention of biofilm formation.

Abstract
Self-assembled polymer nanoparticles are promising antibacterials, with nonspherical morphologies of particular interest as recent work has demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity relative to their spherical counterparts. However, the reasons for this enhancement are currently unclear. We have performed a multifaceted analysis of the antibacterial mechanism of action of 1D nanofibers relative to nanospheres by the use of flow cytometry, high-resolution microscopy, and evaluations of the antibacterial activity of pristine and tetracycline-loaded nanoparticles. Low-length dispersity, fluorescent diblock copolymer nanofibers with a crystalline poly(fluorenetrimethylenecarbonate) (PFTMC) core (length = 104 and 472 nm, height = 7 nm, width = 10-13 nm) and a partially protonated poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) corona (length = 12 nm) were prepared via seeded growth living crystallization-driven self-assembly. Their behavior was compared to that of analogous nanospheres containing an amorphous PFTMC core (diameter of 12 nm). While all nanoparticles were uptaken into Escherichia coli W3110, crystalline-core nanofibers were observed to cause significant bacterial damage. Drug loading studies indicated that while all nanoparticle antibacterial activity was enhanced in combination with tetracycline, the enhancement was especially prominent when small nanoparticles (ca. 15-25 nm) were employed. Therefore, the identified differences in the mechanism of action and the demonstrated consequences for nanoparticle size and morphology control may be exploited for the future design of potent antibacterial agents for overcoming antibacterial resistance. This study also reinforces the requirement of morphological control over polymer nanoparticles for biomedical applications, as differences in activity are observed depending on their size, shape, and core-crystallinity.

Abstract
A novel donor (D)-acceptor (A) structured conjugated polymer (PDPP-TP), which contains two alternating D-A pairs, namely thiophene (T)-diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and thiophenen (T)-thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine (TP) along the main chain of the polymer, was synthesized by direct arylation polycondensation (DArP) for a highly efficient photothermal antibacterial treatment. The hydrophilic PDPP-TP-based nanoparticles (PTNPs) with a hydration diameter of about 120 nm were obtained by self-assembly using DSPE-mPEG2000 as the polymer matrix. PTNPs show strong near-infrared (NIR) absorbance with a λmax at 910 nm (ε = 2.25 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1) and NIR light-triggered photoactivity with a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE) of 52.8% under 880 nm laser irradiation. Keeping the merits of excellent biocompatibility and photostability, PTNPs exhibited remarkable bacterial inhibition efficiency of almost 100% against Gram-negative E. coli and Gram-positive S. aureus with the help of an 880 nm laser (0.7 W cm-2, 6 min), demonstrating its great potential as photothermal materials with a broad spectrum of activity for the effective treatment of microbial infections.

Abstract
As-prepared mesoporous silicon nanoparticles, which were synthesized by electrochemical etching of crystalline silicon wafers followed by high-energy milling in water, were explored as a sonosensitizer in aqueous media under irradiation with low-intensity ultrasound at 0.88 MHz. Due to the mixed oxide-hydride coating of the nanoparticles' surfaces, they showed both acceptable colloidal stability and sonosensitization of the acoustic cavitation. The latter was directly measured and quantified as a cavitation energy index, i.e., time integral of the magnitude of ultrasound subharmonics. The index turned out to be several times greater for nanoparticle suspensions as compared to pure water, and it depended nonmonotonically on nanoparticle concentration. In vitro tests with Lactobacillus casei revealed a dramatic drop of the bacterial viability and damage of the cells after ultrasonic irradiation with intensity of about 1 W/cm2 in the presence of nanoparticles, which themselves are almost non-toxic at the studied concentrations of about 1 mg/mL. The experimental results prove that nanoparticle-sensitized cavitation bubbles nearby bacteria can cause bacterial lysis and death. The sonosensitizing properties of freshly prepared mesoporous silicon nanoparticles are beneficial for their application in mild antibacterial therapy and treatment of liquid media.

Abstract
In recent years, daily hygiene and disease control issues have received increasing attention, especially the raging epidemics caused by the spread of deadly viruses. The construction of the interface of new polymer materials is focused on, which can provide a cyclic operation process for the killing and releasing of bacteria, and perform repeated regeneration, which is of great significance for the development of advanced medical biomaterials. In order to explore the basic physical phenomena of bacterial attachment and detachment on the polymer material interface by different amine groups, this study plans to synthesize four different butyl methacrylate (BMA)-based cationic copolymers with primary, ternary, and quaternary amine groups, and compare their effects on bactericidal efficiency. Since BMA can generate strong hydrophobic interactions with the benzene ring structure, this study used a polystyrene substrate to realize a self-assembled cationic copolymer interface for controlling the counterion-induced bacterial killing/release process. Furthermore, negatively charged ions are introduced to induce changes in the hydration capability of water molecules and control the subsequent bacterial detachment function. In this study, possible directions to answer and clarify the above concepts are proposed, and there is a basic reference principle that can lead to research work in macromolecular bioscience fields.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria-infected wounds are challenging issues that threaten human health. Herein, L-thioproline (T) and Boc-capped L-thioproline (BT)-decorated gold nanoparticles (TBT-GNPs) with potent antibacterial activity against MDR bacteria are reported. The TBT-GNPs are composited with bacterial cellulose to form wound dressings which show excellent antimicrobial performance both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, this dressing is both breathable and stretchable which is favorable for gas exchange to accelerate the wound healing. This work is insightful for developing multifunctional dressings to satisfy the clinical requirements.

Abstract
The overuse of antibiotics exacerbates the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, threatening global public health, while most traditional antibiotics act on specific targets and sterilize through chemical modes. Therefore, it is a desperate need to design novel therapeutics or extraordinary strategies to overcome resistant bacteria. Herein, we report a positively charged nanocomposite PNs-Cur with a hydrodynamic diameter of 289.6 nm, which was fabricated by ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone and Z-Lys-N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), and then natural curcumin was loaded onto the PCL core of PNs with a nanostructure through self-assembly, identified through UV-vis, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Especially, the self-assembly dynamics of PNs was simulated through molecular modeling to confirm the formation of a core-shell nanostructure. Biological assays revealed that PNs-Cur possessed broad-spectrum and efficient antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including drug-resistant clinical bacteria and fungus, with MIC values in the range of 8-32 μg/mL. Also, in vivo evaluation showed that PNs-Cur exhibited strong antibacterial activities in infected mice. Importantly, the nanocomposite did not indeed induce the emergence of drug-resistant bacterial strains even after 21 passages, especially showing low toxicity regardless of in vivo or in vitro. The study of the antibacterial mechanism indicated that PNs-Cur could indeed destruct membrane potential, change the membrane potential, and cause the leakage of the cytoplasm. Concurrently, the released curcumin further plays a bactericidal role, eventually leading to bacterial irreversible apoptosis. This unique bacterial mode that PNs-Cur possesses may be the reason why it is not easy to make the bacteria susceptible to easily produce drug resistance. Overall, the constructed PNs-Cur is a promising antibacterial material, which provides a novel strategy to develop efficient antibacterial materials and combat increasingly prevalent bacterial infections.

Abstract
Increasing antibiotic concentrations within bacterial cells while reducing them in mammalian ones would ultimately result in an enhancement of antibacterial actions, overcoming multidrug resistance, all while minimizing toxicity. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been used in numerous occasions to overcome antibiotic resistance, poor drug solubility, and stability. However, the concomitant increase in antibiotic concentration in mammalian cells and the resultant toxicity are usually overlooked. Without compromising bacterial cell fusion, large liposomes (Lip) have been reported to show reduced uptake in mammalian cells. Therefore, in this work, small NP fraught liposomes (NP-Lip) were formulated with the aim of increasing NP uptake and antibiotic delivery in bacterial cells but not in mammalian ones. Small polylactic-co-glycolic acid NPs were therefore loaded with erythromycin (Er), an antibiotic with low membrane permeability that is susceptible to drug efflux, and 3c, a 5-cyanothiazolyl urea derivative with low solubility and stability. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the incorporation of small NPs into large Lip resulted in a reduction in NP uptake by HEK293 cells while increasing it in Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli DH5α, E. coli K12, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), consequently resulting in an enhancement of antibiotic selectivity by fourfold toward E. coli (both strains) and eightfold toward P. aeruginosa. Ocular administration of NP-Lip in a P. aeruginosa keratitis mouse model demonstrated the ability of Er/3c-loaded NP-Lip to result in a complete recovery. More importantly, in comparison to NPs, the ocular administration of NP-Lip showed a reduction in TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels, implying reduced interaction with mammalian cells in vivo. This work therefore clearly demonstrated how tailoring the nano-bio interaction could result in selective drug delivery and a reduction in toxicity.

Abstract
Resistance to antibiotics because of misuse and overuse is one of the greatest public health challenges worldwide. Despite the introduction of advanced nanotechnology in the production of antibiotics, the choice of appropriate medicines is limited due to side effects such as blood coagulation, toxicity, low efficacy, and low biocompatibility; therefore, novel nanomaterial composites are required to counter these repercussions. We first introduce a facile method for synthesizing a homobifunctional imidoester-coated nanospindle (HINS) zinc oxide composite for enhancement of antibiotic efficacy and reduction of toxicity and blood coagulation. The antibiotic efficacy of the composites is twice that of commercialized zinc nanoparticles; in addition, they have good biocompatibility, have increased surface charge and solubility owing to the covalent acylation groups of HI, and produce a large number of Zn+ ions and defensive reactive oxygen species (ROS) that effectively kill bacteria and fungi. The synergistic effect of a combination therapy with the HINS composite and itraconazole shows more than 90% destruction of fungi in treatments with low dosage with no cytotoxicity or coagulation evident in intravenous administration in in vitro and in vivo experiments. Thus, HINS composites are useful in reducing the effect of misuse and overuse of antibiotics in the medical field.

Abstract
The excessive use of antibiotics has led to a rise in drug-resistant bacteria. These "superbugs" are continuously emerging and becoming increasingly harder to treat. As a result, new and effective treatment protocols that have minimal risks of generating drug-resistant bacteria are urgently required. Advanced nanomaterials are particularly promising due to their drug loading/releasing capabilities combined with their potential photodynamic/photothermal therapeutic properties. In this review, 0-dimensional, 1-dimensional, 2-dimensional, and 3-dimensional nanomaterial-based systems are comprehensively discussed for bacterial-based diagnostic and treatment applications. Since the use of these platforms as antibacterials is relatively new, this review will provide appropriate insight into their construction and applications. As such, we hope this review will inspire researchers to explore antibacterial-based nanomaterials with the aim of developing systems for clinical applications.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria have become global threats to public health. Since the advent of antibiotics about 100 years ago, their use has been embraced with great enthusiasm because of their effective treatment of bacterial infections. However, the evolution of pathogenic bacteria with resistance to conventional antibiotics has resulted in an urgent need for the development of a new generation of antibiotics. The use of antimicrobial polymers offers the promise of enhancing the efficacy of antimicrobial agents. Of the various antibacterial polymers that effectively eradicate pathogenic bacteria, those that are nanoengineered have garnered significant research interest in their design and biomedical applications. Because of their high surface area and high reactivity, these polymers show greater antibacterial activity than conventional antibacterial agents, by inhibiting the growth or destroying the cell membrane of pathogenic bacteria. This review summarizes several strategies for designing nanoengineered antibacterial polymers, explores the factors that affect their antibacterial properties, and examines key features of their design. It then comments briefly on the future prospects for nanoengineered antibacterial polymers. This review thus provides a feasible guide to developing nanoengineered antibacterial polymers by presenting both broad and in-depth bench research, and it offers suggestions for their potential in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bacterial/fungal biofilm-mediated persistent endodontic infections (PEIs) are one of the most frequent clinical lesions in the oral cavity, resulting in apical periodontitis and tooth damage caused by loss of minerals. The conventional root canal disinfectants are poorly bio-safe and harmful to teeth and tissues, making them ineffective in treating PEIs. The development of nanomaterials is emerging as a promising strategy to eradicate disease-related bacteria/fungi. Herein, glucose oxidase (GOx)-modified magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized via a facile and versatile route for investigating their effects on removing PEI-related bacterial/fungal biofilms. It is found that GOx was successfully immobilized on the MNPs by detecting the changes in the diameter, chemical functional group, charge, and magnetic response. Further, we demonstrate that GOx-modified MNPs (GMNPs) exhibit highly effective antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. Moreover, the antibacterial/fungal activity of GMNPs is greatly dependent on their concentrations. Importantly, when placed in contact with bacterial/fungal biofilms, the dense biofilm matrix is destructed due to the movement of GMNPs induced by the magnetic field, the formation of reactive oxygen species, and nutrient starvation induced by GOx. Also, the in vitro experiment shows that the as-prepared GMNPs have excellent cytocompatibility and blood compatibility. Thus, GMNPs offer a novel strategy to treat bacteria/fungi-associated PEIs for potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Injectable materials have shown great potential in tissue engineering applications. However, bacterial infection is one of the main challenges in using these materials in the field of regenerative medicine. In this study, biogenically synthesized silver nanoparticle-decorated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Ag/MWCNTs) were deployed for adorning biogenic-derived AgNPs which were subsequently used in the preparation of thermosensitive hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid encompassing these green-synthesized NPs. The antibacterial capacity of AgNPs decorated on MWCNTs synthesized through Camellia sinensis extract in an organic solvent-free medium displayed a superior activity by inhibiting the growth of Gram-negative (E. coli and Klebsiella) and Gram-positive (S. aureus and E. faecalis). The injectable hydrogel nanocomposites demonstrated good mechanical properties, as well. The thermosensitive hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels also exhibited Tgel below the body temperature, indicating the transition from liquid-like behavior to elastic gel-like behavior. Such a promising injectable nanocomposite could be applied as liquid, pomade, or ointment to enter wound cavities or bone defects and subsequently its transition in situ to gel form at human body temperature bodes well for their immense potential application in the biomedical sector.

Abstract
Antibacterial materials are rapidly emerging as a primary component in the mitigation of bacterial pathogens, and functional polymers play a vital role in the preparation of antibacterial coatings. In this study, a novel antibacterial polymer with double active centers was synthesized. Firstly, using one-pot soap-free emulsion polymerization technology, the cationic acrylate copolymeric polyvidone (CACPV) was synthesized by copolymerization of four monomers with different functions, which were methyl methacrylate (MMA), N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP), γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MAPTS) and [3-(methacryloylamino)propyl]trimethylammonium chloride (MAPTAC). Secondly, using iodine complexation, the cationic acrylate copolyvidone-iodine (CACPVI) nanoparticles were prepared. After being characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle test, the antibacterial activity of CACPVI was evaluated against the typical human pathogens Escherichia coli (E. coli, Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, Gram-positive). Additionally, CACPVI was used to improve the antibacterial activities of some materials, such as ink, dye and coatings. It was found that CACPVI presented an excellent antibacterial synergy. When the antibacterial activities were more than 99% at a concentration of 40.00 μg mL-1, CACPVI exhibited long-term antibacterial performance as expected. The antibacterial mechanism of this synergy was also investigated. In summary, a novel antibacterial polymer material with double active centers was successfully synthesized and was widely applied in coating, dye and ink materials for minimizing bacterial infection.

Abstract
Surface-tethered hierarchical polymer brushes find wide applications in the development of antibacterial surfaces due to the well-defined spatial distribution and the separate but complementary properties of different blocks. Existing methods to achieve such polymer brushes mainly focused on inorganic material substrates, precluding their practical applications on common medical devices. In this work, a hierarchical polymer brush system is proposed and facilely constructed on polymeric substrates via light living graft polymerization. The polymer brush system with micrometer-scale thickness exhibits a unique hierarchical architecture consisting of a poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) outer layer and an anionic inner layer loading with cationic antimicrobial peptide (AMP) via electrostatic attraction. The surface of this system inhibits the initial adhesion of bacteria by the PHEMA hydration outer layer under neutral pH conditions; when bacteria adhere and proliferate on this surface, the bacterially induced acidification triggers the cleavage of labile amide bonds within the inner layer to expose the positively charged amines and vigorously release melittin (MLT), allowing the surface to timely kill the adhering bacteria. The hierarchical surface employs multiple antibacterial mechanisms to combat bacterial infection and shows high sensitiveness and responsiveness to pathogens. A new paradigm is supplied by this modular hierarchical polymer brushes system for the progress of intelligent surfaces on universal polymer substrates, showing great potential to a promising strategy for preventing infection related to medical devices.

Abstract
A thermo-responsive conjugated polymer, PFBT-gPA is synthesized by grafting the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) to the side chains of a conjugated polyfluorene derivative through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). PFBT-gPA undergoes a reversible phase transition in water below and above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and the process is studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis and UV/vis absorption spectra. PFBT-gPA shows a good photostability under UV light irradiation especially above the LCST. Moreover, the photosensitizing performance of PFBT-gPA could be tuned simply by changing temperature. The unique properties of PFBT-gPA promise its potential applications in sensing and photodynamic therapy.
