Abstract

Antibacterial polyolefins surfaces, combining biocidal and antiadhesive properties, were elaborated by a covalent grafting of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), able to kill adherent bacteria, on a pre-immobilized hyaluronic acid (HA) layer, able to repel the micro-organisms. Different HA activation rate for its immobilization, were used to change HA layer morphology and number of residual free carboxylic acid functions for AMPs grafting. Based on adhesion tests on Staphylococcus epidermidis and microscopy fluorescent observations, the presence of the two combined properties was shown to be depended on the HA activation rate. Thus, the best addition effect was observed for an AMP grafting on a surface based on a high HA activation, data pointing out a decrease of the bacterial adhesion up to 99.8% and a perturbation of the bacterial membrane integrity of adhered bacteria. On the contrary, a decrease of the antibacterial activity was observed for an AMP grafting on a surface based on a low HA activation.
