Abstract

In this study, fibers were obtained by electrospinning technique to increase the bioavailability of biocompatible polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)/polyethylene oxide (PEO)/bis-chalcone derivatives ((2E,6E)‐2,6‐bis(4-nitrobenzylidene)cyclohexanone and (2E,6E)‐2,6‐bis[(thiophen‐2‐yl)methylene]cyclohexanone) containing Streptomycin sulfate as a model drug in two different ratios (30 and 60 mg). The antibacterial effects of drug-containing and non-drug fibers against Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli were investigated. As a result, it was observed that the drug-free fibers did not have any antibacterial effect, while the drug-containing fibers completely destroyed B. cereus and E. coli. Our findings can provide insight into new fibers prepared with antimicrobial compounds for wound dressing applications.
