Amino Acid-Based Material for the Complementary Therapy of Decubitus Ulcers
( Frederico Nogueira ),( Isabel C. Gouveia ) 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 2017 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.27 No.4
Chronic wounds, pressure sores, lesions, and infections of microbial origin in bedridden, paralyzed, or malnutrition patients remain the object of study of many researchers. A variety of factors behind the development of these disorders are related to the patient`s immune system, making it unable to respond effectively to the treatment of the wound. These factors can be properly controlled, giving particular importance to the ethiology and stage of the wound, as well as the time periods corresponding to the replacement of the dressings. The present research reports a novel foam/soft material, L-Cys-g-PCL, with an application for decubitus/pressure ulcers, especially for wounds with a difficult healing process due to infections and constant oxidation of the soft tissues. During this work, the interactions between S. aureus and L-Cys-g-PCL foam were studied under conditions that simulate decubitus ulcers; namely, pH and exudate. The effects of duration of grafting (1 or 8 h) and pH (7.0 and 8.9) on wettability, surface energy, swelling, and porosity were also evaluated. Results showed an effective microbicidal activity exhibiting an inhibition ratio of 99.73% against S. aureus. This new L-Cys-g-PCL soft material showed saftey to contact skin, ability to be shaped to fill in sunken holes (craters) - pressure ulcers stage III - and to act as a smart material responsive to pH, which can be tailored to develop better swelling properties at alkaline pH where exudates are normally higher, so as to address exudate self-cleaning and prevention of desiccation.

In the past years the textile industry haswitnessed new advances in the area of textile fiber chainsengineering, which allow the modification of the structureof such chains so as to produce polymers responsive tochanges in the environment, thus capable of attaching tocells and bioactive molecules. On the other hand, followingour society's trend towards higher hygiene standards, theresearch and development of antimicrobial textiles hasshown a remarkable increase. Applications of such textilescan nowadays be found in underwear, sportswear, homefurnishing, protective clothing, wound-dressings and inmicrobial infection high risk settings, such as health careinstitutions. The present research aims at the developmentof a strong, durable and washable antimicrobial L-Cysteine(L-Cys)-functionalized cotton by means of a covalentmechanism. The covalent binding of L-Cys onto cellulosicfibers was assessed by Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) andFourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Antimicrobial assays showed that the functionalized cottonyielded strong microbial killing rates, exhibiting inhibitionratios of 89 and 83% against K. pneumoniae and S. aureus,respectively. These results demonstrate the effectiveness ofthe covalent modification of cotton fabrics with L-Cysadding antimicrobial properties to cotton fibers and thusopen the door to a world of applications in the area ofincreased risk microbial infections.
