Effective Antibacterial Nanotextured Surfaces Based on Extreme Wettability and Bacteriophage Seeding

Abstract: A method based on nanosecond laser treatment was used to design superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic aluminum alloy substrates showing enhanced cytotoxic activity with respect to Escherichia coli K12 C600 strain. It was shown that the survival of cells adhered to the superhydrophobic substrates was significantly affected by the presence of organic contaminants, which are ubiquitous in hospital practice and the food industry. The peculiarities of the texture also played a notable role in antibactericidal activ… Show more

“…For the ZnO‐ER sample, the outermost were the ZnO NPs adhered to the aluminum substrate mediated by ER. During the antibacterial activity test, the outermost ZnO NPs may be detached from the ZnO‐ER sample, and consequently, the antibacterial activity of that was superior to that of the Zn substrate with native oxide . However, for the ZnO&ER sample, the outermost surface was heterogeneous with ER and ZnO.…”

“…To check the viability of the bacterial cells adhered to the surface of the samples during 48 h of immersion, the protocol described in detail in [ 38 ] was used. Briefly, the samples withdrawn from the bacterial dispersion were rinsed with a sterile physiological solution to remove non-attached cells and then vortexed in 5 mL of physiological solution for 10 min at 150 rpm; then, a 0.1 mL aliquot of the resulting dispersion was applied onto a Petri dish containing sterile growth medium (Mueller-Hinton agar) and conditioned for 24 h at 37 °C.…”

“…Therefore, the mechanisms of the bactericidal effect of such surfaces should be like those mentioned above and characteristic of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, the additional damaging effect of physico-mechanical forces exerted by the rough surface on the bacterial cell membrane [ 37 , 38 ] significantly contributes to the antibacterial activity. Finally, for non-wetting hierarchical surfaces, two additional mechanisms of antibacterial action come into play, namely the drastically reduced contact area between the substrate and the bacterial dispersion and the decreased adhesion force between the cell and the superhydrophobic surface.…”

“…The main mechanisms of toxic action discussed in the literature are [2][3][4][5]: (1) the high reactivity of Mg in contact with aqueous media, leading to the formation of superoxide ions (O 2− ); (2) an excess of magnesium ions in the aqueous medium surrounding the cells, leading to osmotic effects that destroy cell's membranes; (3) an increase in pH during the corrosion of magnesium in biological media. Additionally, two mechanisms specific to any superhydrophobic material should be taken into account [28][29][30][31][32]: (4) the low adhesion of bacterial cells to the superhydrophobic surface; and (5) the mechanical damage of cell membranes in the cells deposited onto the surface. The analysis of mechanism (1), related to oxidation stress, is beyond the scope and technical capabilities of this study.…”
