Bioinspired Antimicrobial and Biocompatible Bacterial Cellulose Membranes Obtained by Surface Functionalization with Aminoalkyl Groups
Abstract
There has been a great deal of interest in the use of nanostructured bacterial cellulose membranes for biomedical applications, including tissue implants, wound healing, and drug delivery. However, as bacterial cellulose does not intrinsically present antimicrobial properties, in the present study, antimicrobial bacterial cellulose membranes were obtained by chemical grafting of aminoalkyl groups onto the surface of its nanofibrillar network. This approach intends to mimic intrinsic antimicrobial properties of chitosan. Interestingly, these novel grafted bacterial cellulose membranes (BC-NH2) are simultaneously lethal against S. aureus and E. coli and nontoxic to human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) and thus may be useful for biomedical applications. In addition to these biological properties, the bioactive nanostructured BC-NH2 membranes also present improved mechanical and thermal properties.

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.
