Sustainable Antibacterial and Wound-Healing Hydrogels: Croton confertus–Loaded Bacterial Cellulose Composites

MIMazhar ul IslamFHFatima A. S. HabisAFAtiya Fatima

Key Points

  • The aim is to create sustainable antibacterial hydrogels from plant-derived materials for effective wound healing.
  • Produced bacterial cellulose from waste-derived fruit sources.
  • Incorporated Croton confertus extract into the hydrogels.
  • Evaluated antimicrobial properties against multidrug-resistant bacteria.
  • The hydrogels showed significant antibacterial activity.
  • In vitro tests demonstrated improved wound healing performance.
  • Sustainable materials reduced costs compared to synthetic options.

Abstract

The development of sustainable, plant-derived antimicrobial polymeric biomaterials is essential in addressing the global rise of multidrug-resistant infections. In this study, low-cost bacterial cellulose (BC) was produced using waste-derived fruit...
