Nanomaterial-based therapeutics for antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections
Jessa Marie Makabenta,Ahmed Nabawy,Cheng-Hsuan Li,Suzannah M. Schmidt-Malan,Robin Patel,Vincent M. Rotello +5 more
TL;DR: The mechanisms by which nanomaterials can be used to target antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are discussed, design elements and properties of nanomMaterials that can be engineered to enhance potency are highlighted, and recent progress and remaining challenges for clinical implementation are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanotherapeutics using all-natural materials. Effective treatment of wound biofilm infections using crosslinked nanoemulsions.
Cheng-Hsuan Li,Ryan F. Landis,Jessa Marie Makabenta,Ahmed Nabawy,Tiphaine Tronchet,Danielle Archambault,Yuanchang Liu,Rui Huang,Morgane Golan,Wei Cui,Jesse Mager,Akash Gupta,Suzannah M. Schmidt-Malan,Robin Patel,Vincent M. Rotello +14 more
TL;DR: The engineered nanoemulsions demonstrate broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity towards drug-resistant bacterial biofilms and significantly expedite wound healing in an in vivo murine wound biofilm model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradable Poly(lactic acid) Stabilized Nanoemulsions for the Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Biofilms.
Yavuz Oz,Yavuz Oz,Ahmed Nabawy,Stefano Fedeli,Aarohi Gupta,Rui Huang,Amitav Sanyal,Vincent M. Rotello +7 more
TL;DR: The X-NE platform combines the degradability of functionalized poly(lactic acid) polymers with the antimicrobial activity of carvacrol (from oregano oil).
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual antimicrobial-loaded biodegradable nanoemulsions for synergistic treatment of wound biofilms.
Ahmed Nabawy,Jessa Marie Makabenta,Suzannah M. Schmidt-Malan,Jung-Soo Park,Cheng-Hsuan Li,Rui Xuan Huang,Stefano Fedeli,A. Chattopadhyay,Robin Patel,Vincent M. Rotello +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , a biodegradable polymeric nanoemulsions that encapsulate two hydrophobic antimicrobial agents (eugenol and triclosan) (TE-BNEs) are used to combat chronic wound infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity of Biodegradable Polymeric Nanosponges against Dual-Species Bacterial Biofilms
Ahmed Nabawy,Jessa Marie Makabenta,Cheng-Hsuan Li,Jungmi Park,Aritra Nath Chattopadhyay,Suzannah M. Schmidt-Malan,Akash Gupta,Robin Patel,Vincent M. Rotello +8 more
TL;DR: The described engineered nanosponges demonstrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity through prevention of dual-species biofilm formation as well as eradication of preformed biofilms and showed no toxicity against mammalian cells, highlighting the therapeutic potential of this platform.
