ABSTRACT
Bacteria and viruses can adhere onto diverse surfaces and be transmitted in multiple ways. A bifunctional coating that integrates both antibacterial and antiviral activities is a promising approach to mitigate bacterial and viral infections arising from a contaminated surface. However, current coating approaches encounter a slow reaction, limited activity against diverse bacteria or viruses, short-term activity, difficulty in scaling-up, and poor adaptation to diverse material surfaces. Here, we report a new one-step strategy for the development of a polydopamine-based nonfouling antibacterial and antiviral coating by the codeposition of various components. The in situ formed nanosilver in the presence of polydopamine was incorporated into the coating and served as both antibacterial and antiviral agents. In addition, the coassembly of polydopamine and a nonfouling hydrophilic polymer was constructed to prevent the adhesion of bacteria and viruses on the coating. The coating was prepared on model surfaces and thoroughly characterized using various surface analytical techniques. The coating exhibited strong antifouling properties with a reduction of nonspecific protein adsorption up to 90%. The coating was tested against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and showed long-term antibacterial effectiveness, which correlated with the composition of the coating. The antiviral activity of the coating was evaluated against human coronavirus 229E. A possible mechanism of action of the coating was proposed. We anticipate that the optimized coating will have applications in the development of infection prevention devices and surfaces.
