Protein-Based Films as Antifouling and Drug-Eluting Antimicrobial Coatings for Medical Implants.
Nosocomial infections, caused by bacterial contamination of medical devices and implants, are a serious healthcare concern. We demonstrate here, the use of fluorous-cured protein nanofilm coatings for generating antimicrobial surfaces. In this approach, bacteria-repelling films are created by heat-curing proteins in fluorous media. These films are then loaded with antibiotics, with release controlled via electrostatic interactions between therapeutic and protein film building blocks to provide bactericidal surfaces. This film fabrication process is additive-free, biocompatible, biodegradable, and can be used to provide antimicrobial coatings for both three-dimensional (2D) and 3D objects for use in indwelling devices.
