ABSTRACT
Bacterial infection is a major challenge for contemporary medicine, and ARTICLE HISTORY
antimicrobial hydrogels have been extensively studied for their Received 24 July 2019
excellent antimicrobial activity. However, the antibacterial agent also Accepted 30 January 2020
has high cytotoxicity and hemolytic activity while being significantly KEYWORDS
antibacterial. In this paper, we prepared a hydrogel by simple heating- ZIF-90; antibacterial; hydrogel;
cooling of ZIF-90 doped agar solution, which has obvious antibacterial biocompatible
activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The test
results show that the hydrogel has a uniform and stable structure and
does not exhibit cytotoxicity and hemolytic activity while maintaining
good bacteriostatic properties, so as to achieve the function of bacterial
infection treatment and would healthcare.
1. Introduction
The bacterial infection is a local or systemic inflammatory reaction caused by pathogenic
bacteria or opportunistic pathogens, which is a serious problem in the field of biomedicine.
As a highly effective and low toxic treatment, antibiotics have been applied to various
bacterial infections since they were first discovered in 1928 [1]. However, a serious
problem remains that the use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant
microorganisms that are difficult to fight [2]. Challenged by the ever-growing threats from
drug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms, there has been increasing attention on
developing antibacterial materials to defend against infections. Unfortunately, antibacterial
ingredients often have adverse effects on surrounding normal cells while killing
microorganisms, and even adversely affect their biological functions [1]. Therefore,
designing materials that meet antimicrobial and biocompatibility requirements have always
been a challenging task.
For example, Agþ was widely recognized for its broad-spectrum antibacterial properties
and best antibacterial properties in various metal ions [3], but it may have a detrimental
effect on cellular responses and maybe potentially toxic even at high concentrations [4].
However, besides the excellent antibacterial property, Zn promotes

protein synthesis and adsorption and provides a positive effect on cell adhesion and
proliferation depending on its content [5]. A hydrogel is a three-dimensional porous
material composed of physically or chemically cross-linked polymer chains [6]. Hydrogels
have been extensively studied as antibacterial material, and after carefully selecting the
monomers and cross linkers, the hydrophilicity and porosity of the hydrogel can be used
for antimicrobial applications [7]. In addition, certain types of hydrogels also have inherent
antimicrobial properties [8].
In the present work, the ZIF-90 hydrogel was prepared by using agar as the Hydrogel
matrix, with the additional incorporation of ZIF-90 to enhance its antimicrobial activity.
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a common pathogen in the suppurative inflammation
and open wound infection, and Escherichia coli (E.coli) were selected to systematically test
the antibacterial efficacy of the prepared materials. L929 cells were selected to test the
cytotoxicity of the prepared ZIF-90 hydrogels. Hemolytic of the hydrogels is also detected
as a biocompatibility evaluation parameter.
2. Experiments
2.1. Preparation of ZIF-90
For the preparation of nano ZIF-90, 20 mL imidazolate-2-carboxaldehyde (2-ICA) (0.4 M)
in DMSO was added into 20 mL Zn(CH 3COOH)22H2O (0.4 M) in DMF with stirring for
10 min. Then, another 40 mL DMF was added for another 10 min stirring. The mixture
was then washed by ethanol for three times and dried in vacuum for 24 h [9].

(Figure 3d).

3.3. Antibacterial assay
The antibacterial activity of the hydrogels was determined by a Plate diffusion method
against both E.coli and S.aureus. The hydrogel sample with a diameter circular of 1 cm

was placed directly onto the surface of the bacterial media of E.coli and S.sureus
respectively. After incubated at 37 C for 12 h, the emerge of the inhibition zone indicated
that hydrogel showed excellent activity against both E.coli and S.aureus (Figure 4a and b).
Moreover, as we can see from Figure 4, the inhibition zone of the gel against S.aureus was
5.5 mm, much larger than which against E.coli (2.5 mm). The possible speculation of this
case is that compared with E.coli (Gram-negative genus) , there are more viscous proteins,
and the peptidoglycan content in the cell wall of the S.aureus (Gram-positive genus), which
makes it easier to adsorb zinc ions.
The live/dead microbial viability assays of E.coli and S.aureus before and after
incubation with ZIF-90 hydrogels for 12 h are shown in Figure 5. Calcein-AM, which
fluoresces upon reaction with intracellular esterase, stains live cells (green), while
propidium iodide (PI), which binds to the DNA of dead membrane-compromised cells,
stains dead cells (red). Almost all intact bacteria fluoresced green, whereas hydrogels-
treated bacteria fluoresced red, revealing the excellent antimicrobial activities of the ZIF90
hydrogels.

from 300 to 5000 mg mL-1 was lower than 35%, indicating the excellent blood
compatibility of the ZIF-90 hydrogels.
4. Conclusion
In summary, hydrogels with excellent antibacterial property and biocompatibility were
prepared via simply heated and cooled with the ZIF-90-agar solution. The hydrogels were
found to inactive both Gram-positive bacteria (S.aureus) and gram-negative bacteria
(E.coli). Importantly, they were shown to be nontoxic toward human erythrocytes and
caused no organ toxicity when applied internally. The biocompatible hydrogels developed
herein thus can be used as a safe and effective material to prevent bacterial infection.
