Opis: Novel bioactive bacterial nanocellulose (BnC) membranes were developed for effective, non-surgical debridement and infection-prevention in burn wound healing. Membranes were modified in situ with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and ex situ with the proteolytic enzyme bromelain (Br) and antimicrobial peptide nisin (N). Post-processing into stable cellulose nanocrystal dispersions (ζ = -26 mV), enables assembly of model films for demonstration of high, irreversible bromelain (95 %) and nisin (99.5 %) adsorption. The BnC-CMC and BnC-CMC-N membranes were in vitro cytocompatible for HaCaT cells and induced faster cell proliferation with cell viability exceeding 100 % after 24 h incubation. The innovative aspect of this study lies in the ex vivo evaluation using an advanced human skin explant model with induced burns, providing a realistic, physiologically relevant assessment of membrane performance. Ex vivo experiments indicated the cytocompatibility of the BnC-CMC membrane with no acute toxicity or skin irritation, while nisin presence resulted in moderate irritating effect. Notably, the BnC-CMC-Br membrane showed digestion of intercellular junctions in the epidermis, while not inducing acute toxicity and skin irritation. By leveraging this innovative ex vivo human skin model in novel BnC-based membranes testing, the study provides a crucial translational step, bridging in vitro assessments and clinical applications for burn wound treatment.

Opis: Bacterial nanocellulose (BnC) is of immense importance in medicine, although its lack of bioactivity present intriguing issue. We propose a method to modify BnC with gelatin and nisin biomolecules, and explore their synergistic effect on the antimicrobial activity. Gelatin microparticles (without/with nisin loading) with a size ~0.5 μm and ~ 1.3 μm were prepared by spray drying and stabilised by dehydrothermal treatment. Modified BnC-based membranes supported the formation of biologically relevant minerals and were non-cytotoxic to human gingival fibroblast cells (HGF). The presence of gelatin microparticles improved the viability of HGF by approximately 20 %, due to the effect of gelatin alone, independent of the addition of nisin. BnC coated with a nisin/gelatin solution reduces the viability of HGF by about 20 %, but this negative effect is not observed by nisin coated gelatin microparticles. The cell viability of BnC membranes was above 90 % in both porcine and human urothelial cells. The antimicrobial activity study confirmed an inhibitory effect of membranes modified with nisin-coated microparticles or a gelatin/nisin solution against Staphylococcus aureus at a non-cytotoxic nisin dose (150 μg/mL). The study demonstrates the structural effects of gelatin and gelatin/nisin mixtures on the bioactivity of BnC and provides a rationale for the modification procedure.
