Antibacterial activity of chemical-modified cellulose fabrics against the hospital infection bacteria including MRSA
Cellulose fabrics were chemically treated by phthalic anhydride and succinic anhydride. The antibacterial and antifungal activities against MRSA, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, and T. mentagrophytes and their laundering durabilities were evaluated. The antibacterial activity of samples treated by the succinic anhydride against S. aureus and MRSA was better than that treated by phthalic anhydride. But there was no obvious difference against K. pneumoniae for the two treated methods. The antibacterial activity after ten-repetitivel laundering cycles was somewhat decreased. However, the laundering durability was still kept at a certain high level and was more excellent compared with the commercial antibacterial-deodorant products. Besides, the modified fabrics possessed the effects on preventing propagation of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Therefore, the chemical-modified cellulose fabrics suggest the possibility of an auxiliary that controls the epidemic of various hospital infection bacteria containing MRSA.
