Due to the well-known phenomenon of antibiotic resistance, there is a constant need for
antibiotics with novel mechanisms and different targets respect to those currently in use. In …

Silver has been widely used for surface modification to prevent implant-associated
infections. However, the inherent cytotoxicity of silver greatly limited the scope of its clinical …

In recent years, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have enjoyed a renaissance, as the world is
currently facing an emergency in terms of severe infections that evade antibiotics' treatment …

The increasing bacterial drug resistance and the associated challenges in the treatment of
infections warrant the search for alternative therapeutic methods. Hope is placed in …

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious threat to public health.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are a powerful alternative to antibiotics due to their low …

Titanium and titanium alloys are widely favored materials for orthopedic implants due to their
exceptional mechanical properties and biological inertness. The additional benefit of …

It is key to fight bacterial adhesion to prevent biofilm establishment on biomaterials. Surface
immobilization of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) is a promising strategy to avoid bacterial …

The infection of surgically placed implants is a problem that is both large in magnitude and
that broadly affects nearly all surgical specialties. Implant-associated infections deleteriously …

Antibiotic resistance requires alternatives to fight multi-drug resistant strains. Antimicrobial
peptides (AMPs) act by disrupting or solubilizing microbial cell walls or membranes in …

This study proposes a new concept for an on‐demand drug releasing device intended for
integration into additively manufactured (ie, 3D printed) orthopedic implants. The system …
