Antibacterial hydrogel has emerged as an excellent candidate for wound dressing with the ability to eliminate infection and promote wound healing. Herein, a dynamic hydrogel is developed by Schiff base reaction of mixed charged polypeptides and oxidized dextran (ODex). Specifically, biodegradable polypeptides of 1-(propylthio)acetic acid-3-butylimidazole-modified poly(L-lysine) (PLL-PBIM) and adipate dihydrazide-modified poly(L-glutamic acid) (PLG-ADH) are achieved with tunable substitution and charge. By mixing with ODex, charged polypeptides of PLL-PBIM and PLG-ADH led to an injectable and self-healing hydrogel in seconds. The injectable and self-healing performances of the hydrogels are ascribed to the reversible imine and hydrazone bonds formed between polypeptides and ODex. The positively charged hydrogels exhibited over 95% antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. An optimized balancing of PLG-ADH and PLL-PBIM significantly reduced the hemolysis rate and cytotoxicity of hydrogels. Therefore, the dynamic hydrogel with excellent biocompatibility and inherently antibacterial ability can have potential application for wound dressing.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
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
