Candida antimicrobial polymer

MIC values confirmed the noticeable antibacterial activity of the fabricated polymer by the response of Enterococcus faecalis. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial properties of pure nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) coated with Ppy-silver composite (Scheme 7.4) films were tested on yeast Candida albicans), a Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella serovar Infantis) and a Gram-positive bacteria Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus) (Table 7.3) [60]. 

Recently, a water-based polymer synthesised from N-chloro-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-pipridinyl methacrylate (Cl-TMPM) was prepared via emulsion polymerisation (Figure 10.3). Furthermore, the addition of this antimicrobial material to commercial water-based latex paints led to antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant enterococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida tropicalis, bacteriophage MS2 virus and Staphylococcus chartarum [53].
