2023 journal article

Preventing the spread of life-threatening gastrointestinal microbes on the surface of a continuously self-disinfecting block polymer

JOURNAL OF COLLOID AND INTERFACE SCIENCE, 652, 718–726.

By: K. Wells n, Y. Ciftci*, B. Peddinti n, R. Ghiladi n , G. Vediyappan *, R. Spontak n , R. Govind *

author keywords: Anionic block polymer; Clostridioides difficile; Candida auris; Candida albicans; Antimicrobial; Self-disinfecting; Broad-spectrum; Infection prevention
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that highly persistent, drug-resistant and transmissible healthcare pathogens such as Clostridioides difficile and Candida auris can be rapidly inactivated on the solid surface of a self-disinfecting anionic block polymer that inherently generates a water surface layer that is highly acidic (pH < 1) upon hydration.
