In this study, a chlorine-loaded polyethyleneimine-based micelle photosensitizer was constructed for enhanced photoinactivation activities on Gram-negative bacteria through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between nanoparticles and the bacterial surface. The light-triggered generation of reactive oxygen species caused irreversible damage to the bacterial outer membrane, achieving enhanced bactericidal efficiency. This antimicrobial alternative holds great potential for human healthcare and environmental remediation.
Antibiotic pollution has been a serious global public health concern in recent years, photodynamic inactivation is one of the most promising and innovative methods for antibacterial applications that avoids antibiotic abuse and minimizes risks of antibiotic resistance. However, limited by the weak interaction between the photosensitizers and Gram-negative bacteria, the effect of photodynamic inactivation cannot be fully exerted. Herein, photosensitizer chlorine-loaded polyethyleneimine-based micelle was constructed. The synergy of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the nanoparticles and the bacterial surface promoted the anchoring of nanoparticles onto the bacteria, resulting in enhanced photoinactivation activities on Gram-negative bacteria. As expected, an eminent antibacterial effect was also observed on the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. The cellular uptake results showed that photosensitizer was firmly anchored to the bacterial cell surface of Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus by the introduction of branched polyethylenimine-containing nanoparticles. The light-triggered generation of reactive oxygen species, mainly singlet oxygen, from the membrane bound nanoparticles caused irreversible damage to the bacterial outer membrane, achieving enhanced bactericidal efficiency than free photosensitizer. The study would provide an efficient and promising antimicrobial alternative to prevent overuse of antibiotics and have enormous potential for human healthcare and the environment remediation.
