Chitosan (Ch), a linear cationic biopolymer, has broad medical applications. In this paper, new sustainable hydrogels (Ch-3, Ch-5a, Ch-5b) based on chitosan/sulfonamide derivatives 2-chloro-N-(4-sulfamoylphenethyl) acetamide (3) and/or 5-[(4-sulfamoylphenethyl) carbamoyl] isobenzofuran-1,3-dione (5) were prepared. Hydrogels (Ch-3, Ch-5a, Ch-5b) were loaded (Au, Ag, ZnO) NPs to form its nanocomposites to improve the antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan. The structures of hydrogels and its nanocomposites were characterized using different tools. All hydrogels displayed irregular surface morphology in SEM, however hydrogel (Ch-5a) revealed the highest crystallinity. The highest thermal stability was shown by hydrogel (Ch-5b) compared to chitosan. The nanocomposites represented nanoparticle sizes <100 nm. Antimicrobial activity was assayed for hydrogels using disc diffusion method exhibited great inhibition growth of bacteria compared to chitosan against S. aureus, B. subtilis and S. epidermidis as Gram-positive, E. coli, Proteus, and K. pneumonia as Gram-negative and antifungal activity against Aspergillus Niger and Candida. Hydrogel (Ch-5b) and nanocomposite hydrogel (Ch-3/Ag NPs) showed higher colony forming unit (CFU) and reduction% against S. aureus and E. coli reaching 97.96 % and 89.50 % respectively in comparison with 74.56 % and 40.30 % for chitosan respectively. Overall, fabricated hydrogels and its nanocomposites enhanced the biological activity of chitosan and it can be potential candidates as antimicrobial drugs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
