From chicken feathers to antimicrobial peptides for smart, self-disinfecting nanocoating
Authors/Creators
Description
• Various hydrolysis methods are evaluated on poultry waste and the best approaches for optimal antimicrobial activity are selected for larger scale production.
• Several extracted AMP mixtures demonstrate antimicrobial activity and are further purified to isolate the most active peptide fractions.
• Studies are ongoing to explore the anchoring of bioactive keratin-based peptides on the surface of mesoporous copper-silica nanoparticles.
Abstract (English)
Microbial colonization of high traffic surfaces
burdens our society by causing significant cost to
human lives and economy. The prevention of
microbes transmission remains a global
challenge. The EU project RELIANCE aims to
design and develop an innovative smart response
self-disinfectant antimicrobial coatings that act by
contact killing and reduce therefore the spread of
infections. The nanocoating consists of copper-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles modified with Antimicrobial Compounds such as peptides
extracted from keratin-rich waste streams.
