Honey-inspired antimicrobial hydrogels resist bacterial colonization through twin synergistic mechanisms

Inspired by the interesting natural antimicrobial properties of honey, biohybrid composite materials containing a low-fouling polymer hydrogel network and an encapsulated antimicrobial peroxide-producing enzyme have been developed. These synergistically combine both passive and active mechanisms for...
