Bacterial Biofilm
Magnesium alloys have promising mechanical and biological properties as perishable medical implant materials for temporary applications throughout bone healing or as tube stents.
Whereas standard implants square measure at risk of establishment by treatment resistant microbic biofilms during which microorganism square measure embedded in an exceedingly protecting matrix, metal alloys are reportable to act antibacterial drug in vitro to allow a basic assessment of antibacterial drug properties of implant materials in vivo, an economic however strong animal model was established.
Connective tissue metal implants were inoculated with
microorganism in an exceedingly mouse model. Contrary to the expectations,
microorganism activity was increased and prolonged within the presence of metal
implants. general antibiotic treatments were remarkably ineffective, that could
be a typical property of microorganism biofilms.
Biofilm formation was additional supported by
microscopy analyses that exposed extremely dense microorganism populations and
proof for the presence of extracellular matrix material. microorganism
agglomerates may well be detected not solely on the implant surface however
additionally at a restricted distance within the peri‐implant tissue.
Therefore, precautions could also be necessary to
attenuate risks of gilded magnesium‐containing implants in prospective clinical
applications.
