Abstract

With rising concerns about antibiotic resistance globally, exploring innovative antibacterial strategies is vital for public health. This work aimed innovatively to improve the biological efficacy of pectin (Pec) hydrogel beads by synergistically utilizing an antibacterial zeolitic imidazolate metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) and tetracycline (TC). ZIF-8 was incorporated at various concentrations within the hydrogel matrix to end this using an in-situ synthesis technique. TC was also pre-loaded into Pec hydrogel beads to further improve their antibacterial features. The application of diverse analysis techniques validated the successful fabrication of nanocomposites. In-vitro Zn²⁺ and TC release were considered by simulating the human digestive system, indicating a sustained and controlled release rate during 8 h (pH 1.2:6.8:7.4 = 20%:20%:60%). Antibacterial tests displayed inhibition zones of 14 ± 0.5 mm and 12 ± 0.5 mm against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Additionally, the MTT assay displayed potent cytotoxicity (> 70% cell viability after 48 h) for the human colon adenocarcinoma HT29 cell line. These results suggest that the developed nanocomposites have promising potential as an antibacterial bio-platform that is effective against resistant pathogens commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Polymers and the Environment fills the need for an international forum in this diverse and rapidly expanding field. The journal serves a crucial role for the publication of information from a wide range of disciplines and is a central outlet for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed original papers, review articles and short communications. The journal is intentionally interdisciplinary in regard to contributions and covers the following subjects - polymers, environmentally degradable polymers, and degradation pathways: biological, photochemical, oxidative and hydrolytic; new environmental materials: derived by chemical and biosynthetic routes; environmental blends and composites; developments in processing and reactive processing of environmental polymers; characterization of environmental materials: mechanical, physical, thermal, rheological, morphological, and others; recyclable polymers and plastics recycling environmental testing: in-laboratory simulations, outdoor exposures, and standardization of methodologies; environmental fate: end products and intermediates of biodegradation; microbiology and enzymology of polymer biodegradation; solid-waste management and public legislation specific to environmental polymers; and other related topics.
