Abstract

-biofilm activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Cytotoxicity studies confirmed excellent biocompatibility with Vero, HeLa, and BHK-21 cell lines. The synergistic combination of pH-responsiveness, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, and cytocompatibility positions these novel composite hydrogels as promising candidates for smart wound healing and tissue engineering applications.
