The development of moisturizing, antibacterial, and biocompatible multifunctional hydrogels is essential to protect skin and promote skin defects recovery. Gelatin has admired potential to be applied for skin care as a hydrogel in virtue of its hydrophilic biocompatible and biodegradable properties. In this study, triclosan-grafted gelatin and photo-cross-linkable methacrylated gelatin were synthesized and then combined to construct the semi-interpenetrating network and antibacterial hydrogels with the aid of a visible blue light. The antimicrobial test demonstrated that the resulting hydrogel obtained excellent inactivation capacity against E. coli, S. aureus, T. rubrum, and C. albicans with sterilizing rates of 99.998%, 99.998%, 99.19%, and 99.64%, respectively. In addition, the cytotoxicity, hemolysis, skin irritation, and rat skin wound healing experiments proved the good biocompatibility of the hydrogel. Therefore, this investigation sheds light on the development of multifunctional hydrogels in skin care.

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
