Abstract

Antibacterial drug-loaded electrospun nano- and microfibrous dressings are of major interest as novel topical drug delivery systems in wound care. In this study, chloramphenicol (CAM)-loaded polycaprolactone (PCL) and PCL/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) fiber mats were electrospun and characterized in terms of morphology, drug distribution, physicochemical properties, drug release, swelling, cytotoxicity, and antibacterial activity. Computational modeling together with physicochemical analysis helped to elucidate possible interactions between the drug and carrier polymers. Strong interactions between PCL and CAM together with hydrophobicity of the system resulted in much slower drug release compared to the hydrophilic ternary system of PCL/PEO/CAM. Cytotoxicity studies confirmed safety of the fiber mats to murine NIH 3T3 cells. Disc diffusion assay demonstrated that both fast and slow release fiber mats reached effective concentrations and had similar antibacterial activity. A biofilm formation assay revealed that both blank matrices are good substrates for the bacterial attachment and formation of biofilm. Importantly, prolonged release of CAM from drug-loaded fibers helps to avoid biofilm formation onto the dressing and hence avoi...Continue Reading

Biofilm & Infectious Disease

Biofilm formation is a key virulence factor for a wide range of microorganisms that cause chronic infections.Here is the latest research on biofilm and infectious diseases.

Biofilms

Biofilms are adherent bacterial communities embedded in a polymer matrix and can cause persistent human infections that are highly resistant to antibiotics. Discover the latest research on Biofilms here.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
