Abstract

Aim: This study investigates a novel treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pathogenic bacterial strains.

Methods: The Cur/Chx/Au composite matrix was synthesised in one pot by solution reduction and examined for functional groups and surface morphology by FT-IR, UV-DRS, HR-TEM, and TGA. In vitro, microbial growth inhibition evaluation and pathogen biofilm studies assessed the composite's antibacterial capacity.

Results: Cur/Chx/Au exhibit mean diameter from 30 ± 5.2 nm, PDI 0.50 ± 0.05, and a zeta potential of -9.56 ± 1.84. The inhibition zones for S. aureus and E. coli were 16 ± 1.2 mm and 14 ± 0.8 mm, respectively, with an anti-inflammatory inhibition rate of 89.96%. The composite material's biocompatibility was further tested utilising in-vitro MTT, cell proliferation, and wound scratch assays in NHI 3T3 cells.

Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that the combination of Cur/Chx/Au composite matrix is a promising formulation for UTI treatment.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Microencapsulation is a well-established, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the publication of original research findings related to the preparation, properties and uses of individually encapsulated novel small particles, as well as significant improvements to tried-and-tested techniques relevant to micro and nano particles and their use in a wide variety of industrial, engineering, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and research applications. Its scope extends beyond conventional microcapsules to all other small particulate systems such as self assembling structures that involve preparative manipulation. The journal covers: Chemistry of encapsulation materials Physics of release through the capsule wall and/or desorption from carrier Techniques of preparation, content and storage Many uses to which microcapsules are put.
