dc.description.abstractThis investigation provides a new strategy to impart antimicrobial properties into wool-based materials using Cecropin-B and [Ala5]-Tritrp7 antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The process was conducted using exhaustion method at 40 °C for 1–3 h. The presence of the AMPs in the modified-wool samples was confirmed by colorimetric assay of Bradford reagent and possible changes in the morphology of the fibers and damage to its surface were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that 1 h were long enough for the functionalization to occur effectively and that the morphology of the fibers was not influenced by the functionalization process. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of the AMPs applied on wool was assessment by JIS L 1902-2002 against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 4352). The results showed that both AMPs have a high reduction in bacterial growth (Cecropin-B resulting in 71.67% reduction against S. aureus and 85.95% against K. pneumoniae. While [Ala5]-Tritrp7 resulting in 66.74% reduction against S. aureus and 88.65% against K. pneumoniae).pt_PT
