Kanamycin covalently grafted onto regenerated bacterial cellulose (RBC) membranes were constructed toprepare novel antimicrobial BC membranes. The prepared kanamycin grafted RBC membrane exhibitsnanoporous three-dimensional network structure with a large surface area and high porosity. Theantibacterial activity was explored and the result shows that the kanamycin grafted RBC membrane displaysexcellent antibacterial activity towards E. coli, C. albicans and S. aureus without any kanamycinleaching. Furthermore, MTT assay was carried out and the result demonstrates that the kanamycingrafted RBC membrane displays good biocompatibility.
