Bacteria-Adsorbed Palygorskite Stabilizes the Quaternary Phosphonium Salt with Specific-Targeting Capability, Long-Term Antibacterial Activity, and Lower Cytotoxicity
In
order to extend the antibacterial time of quaternary phosphonium
salt in bacteria, palygorskite (PGS) is used as the carrier of dodecyl
triphenyl phosphonium bromide (DTP), and a DTP-PGS hybrid is prepared.
Antibacterial performance of this novel hybrid is investigated for
both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results show that
the DTP could be absorbed on the surface of PGS which had bacteria-adsorbed
capability. The DTP-PGS hybrid, combining the advantages of PGS and
DTP, display specific-targeting capability, long-term antibacterial
activity, and lower cytotoxicity, suggesting the great potential application
as PGS-based antibacterial powder
