摘要

Development of advanced materials and optimization of the loading efficiency of antibiotics on those materials to combat drug-resistant bacteria are strongly encouraged. CuBi-layered double hydroxide (CuBi-LDH) and carbon dots (CDs) were selected for development as drug delivery systems. Response surface methodology (RSM) using central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize gentamicin sulfate (GEN) loading onto the drug delivery system. The combined effect of loading parameters such as initial GEN quantity (X1) and initial CDs quantity (X2) was studied. The results obtained by ANOVA analysis displayed the relative significance of the process parameters in the adsorption process. The GEN loading efficiency onto CuBi-LDH was 11.24% with 0.5 g of GEN, which increased to 14.57% upon the addition of 0.1 g of CDs. The study found that the CuBi-LDH and CDs/CuBi-LDH materials act as a dual-functional drug delivery system, which provides controlled drug release over a 12-hour period and enhances inhibitory the GEN’s potency against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus. The hierarchy of antibacterial effectiveness was shown by zones of inhibition (ZOIs) and minimum concentrations (MICs): CDs/CuBi-LDH/GEN demonstrated a ZOI of 20–25 mm and an MIC of 100 µg/mL, which was more effective than CuBi-LDH/GEN (16–23 mm and 150 µg/mL) and GEN (10–15 mm and 200 µg/mL). Showing markedly improved effectiveness over the parent drug, the combined CDs and/or CuBi-LDH materials present a promising approach for developing new antibacterial agents and treating bacterial infections.
