“…39 The range of chemical bonds applied for the attachment of antibacterial agents can be divided into the following: metal-ion coordination bonds, [40][41][42] nitrogen-halogen bond (N-halamine) and hydrolyzable functional groups such as esters 43,44 and amides. 45,46 Common antibiotics, including penicillin, 47 Norfloxacin, 48 and salicylic acid, 49 have been attached to polymers through hydrolyzable functional groups and these antibiotic-releasing polymers exhibited strong antibacterial effects. Duong et al reported the delivery of nitric oxide by poly(oligoethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate)-b-poly(vinyl benzyl chloride) (POEGA-b-PVBC) and poly(oligoethylene methoxy acrylate)-b-poly (2-vinyl-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxazolone monomer) (POEGA-b-PVDM) star polymer.…”

Bacterial fouling on surfaces is considered a major problem in modern society. Conventional methods to prevent biofilm formation often have little effect and may induce further contamination. In response to this challenge, antibacterial polymers have been designed and applied as an alternative approach to kill or inhibit bacteria and prevent the formation of biofilm. These polymers can be grouped into three broad classes, namely antibiotic-releasing polymers, polymeric antibiotics and antibiotic polymers. Antibiotic polymers are effective against bacteria both in solution and as coatings, through different mechanisms of action. In order to enhance their efficacy, antibacterial polymers have been designed with single or combined antibacterial and antibiofouling actions. The current review summarizes the mechanisms of action of antibacterial polymers, especially antibiotic polymers, both in solution and as coatings. It also discusses the antibacterial polymers with multiple functionalities.
