Altered skin integrity increases the chance of infection, and bacterial infections often lead to a persistent inflammatory response that prolongs healing time. Functional artificial hydrogels are receiving increasing attention as suitable wound dressing barrier. However, the antimicrobial effect of the new dressing still needs to be explored in depth. In this work, the antimicrobial peptide MSI-1 was covalently attached to chitosan-modified poly (vinyl alcohol) hydrogels mixed with Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) via a primary amine group c...
