Claim Text:
1. A material consisting of: an excipient; a polymer mixed with said excipient; at least one non-catalase enzyme contained within said polymer and wherein said enzyme is non-serum activated, and wherein said enzyme is at least one selected from the group consisting of a transferase, a hydrolase, a lyase, an isomerase, and a ligase; at least one catalase inhibitor; and an aqueous composition, wherein said enzyme is in a sufficient amount to catalyze a conversion of a metabolite from a propagating microorganism, said metabolite selected from the group consisting of cadaverine, putrescine, histamine, and tyramine, placed in contact with the material, and wherein said enzyme is capable of being activated in the presence of said metabolite to convert said metabolite into at least one or more of a disinfectant, an antimicrobial, an antioxidant, or combinations thereof from said polymer, wherein said enzyme is passive and converts said metabolite only on demand of a propagating microorganism which expresses and/or secretes said metabolite.
