Abstract

Biofilm formation is a main challenge in treatment of bone-implant-associated infections, resulting in tolerance to immune system and antibiotics. However, smart non-surgical or non-invasive treatment methods of combating established biofilm on an implant have been less reported. Herein, a therapeutic system consisting of mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) to combat biofilm is reported for the first time. We develop a synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) strategy aiming for biofilms eradication on titanium (Ti) implant, which is integrated with MPDA loading with photosensitizer Indocyanine Green (ICG) by π-π stacking. Specifically, MPDA is functionalized with RGD peptide to endow the modified Ti sample (Ti-M/I/RGD) with good cytocompatibility. More importantly, Ti-M/I/RGD implant remarkably kills Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) biofilm with an efficiency of 95.4% in vivo upon near infrared (NIR). After biofilm eradication, implant still displays great performance regarding osteogenesis and osseointegration. Overall, this study provides a PTT/PDT strtategy for the development of antibacterial Ti implants for potential orthpediac application.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
