The infection of Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) in food can cause huge economic and health costs, and liposomes based on biological switch is a promising antibacterial strategy. In this study, a bio-responsive composite liposome was designed with silk fibroin and L-fucose (FLPs) based on the chemotaxis and protease of C. jejuni, and Litsea cubeba essential oil as antibacterial agent. The oil encapsulation and protein mosaic rates of the composite liposome were 70.6 ± 0.5% and 47.9 ± 1.0%, respectively. The in vitro release experiment verified that the release rates of essential oil from the liposome exceeded 95% at 5 days. Furthermore, FLPs possessed excellent antibacterial activity, the inhibition zone was 23.5mm and 20% (v/v) of the composite liposomes could inactivate 99% C. jejuni. Moreover, laser scanning confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images confirmed the antimicrobial activity of FLPs was better than that of...
