Antibacterial activity of chitosan and its derivatives and their interaction mechanism with bacteria: Current state and perspectives
Abstract
Abstract Chitosan has fascinating antibacterial activity, good biodegradation, outstanding biocompatibility, non-toxicity and excellent physical and chemical properties. As a result, chitosan has been widely used in the field of antibacterial. Chitosan and its derivatives show antibacterial activity against fungi, gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. In recent years, there have been some reviews about the antibacterial activity of chitosan and its derivatives. This review adds many valuable concerns on the basis of those previous reviews. For example, composite of chitosan and metal, composite of chitosan and metal oxide, etc. This review will systematically analyze various influencing factors of chitosan, so as to clearly summarize the antibacterial mechanism of chitosan. Finally, the challenges and prospects of chitosan-based materials as antimicrobial agents are assessed and commented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
