Photopolymerized keratin-PGLa hydrogels for antibiotic resistance reversal and enhancement of infectious wound healing

Infectious wounds have become serious challenges for both treatment and management in clinical practice, so development of new antibiotics has been considered an increasingly difficult task. Here, we report the design and synthesis of keratin 31 (K31)-peptide glycine-leucine-amide (PGLa) photopolyme...

Sumario:Infectious wounds have become serious challenges for both treatment and management in clinical practice, so development of new antibiotics has been considered an increasingly difficult task. Here, we report the design and synthesis of keratin 31 (K31)-peptide glycine-leucine-amide (PGLa) photopolymerized hydrogels to rescue the antibiotic activity of antibiotics for infectious wound healing promotion. K31-PGLa displayed an outstanding synergistic effect with commercial antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria by down-regulating the synthesis genes of efflux pump. Furthermore, the photopolymerized K31-PGLa/PEGDA hydrogels effectively suppressed drug-resistant bacteria growth and enhanced skin wound closure in murine. This study provided a promising alternative strategy for infectious wound treatment.
