dc.description.abstract | Due to their susceptibility to bacterial biofilm formation, commercial tubes for medical use are one of the main sources of hospital infections with Acinetobacter baumannii. The anti-biofouling activity of novel composites against the clinical isolate of the multi-drug resistant A. baumannii is reported here. The composites were prepared by addition of micronised silver-exchanged natural zeolite (Ag-NZ) into poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), followed by coating of the composites with D-Tyrosine (D-Tyr). The Ag-NZ composites (containing 1-15 wt% of Ag-NZ) coated with D-Tyr (Ag-NZ-Tyr) showed a bactericidal effect (100% or a 6.9 log CFU reduction) towards immobilised bacterial cells. The uncoated Ag-NZ composites showed a reduction of up to 70% (4.4 log CFU) of immobilised bacteria in comparison with the original PVC. Rheological testing of the composites revealed that the addition of Ag-NZ slightly affected processability and formability of the PVC and increased the elasticity of the polymer matrix. | en |
