Biocompatible chitosan-based hydrogels have attracted extensive attention in wound dressing due to their human skin-like tissue characteristics. However, it is a crucial challenge to fabricate chitosan-based hydrogels with versatile properties, including flexibility, stretchability, adhesivity, and antibacterial activity. In this work, a kind of chitosan-based hydrogels with integrated functionalities are facilely prepared by solution polymerization of acrylamide (AAm) and sodium p-styrene sulfonate (SS) in the presence of quaternized carboxymethyl chitosan (QCMCS). Due to the dual cross-linking between QCMCS and P(AAm-co-SS), the optimized QCMCS/P(AAm-co-SS) hydrogel exhibits tough mechanical properties (0.767 MPa tensile stress and 1100% fracture strain) and moderate tissue adhesion (11.4 kPa). Moreover, biological evaluation in vitro illustrated that as-prepared hydrogel possesses satisfactory biocompatibility, hemocompatibility, and excellent antibacterial ability (against S. aureus and E. coli are 98.8% and 97.3%, respectively). Then, the hydrogels are tested in a rat model for bacterial infection incision in vivo, and the results show that they can significantly accelerate epidermal regeneration and wound closure. This is due to their ability to reduce the inflammatory response, promote the formation of collagen deposition and granulation tissue. The proposed chitosan-based antibacterial hydrogels have the potential to be a highly effective wound dressing in clinical wound healing.

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
