Infection associated with surgical implants is a major cause of their failure. Often in such
cases, the implant has to be removed and replaced, which causes undesirable patient …

Prevention of bacterial colonization and consequent biofilm formation remains a major
challenge in implantable medical devices. Implant-associated infections are not only a major …

Implant-associated infections can have severe effects on the longevity of implant devices
and they also represent a major cause of implant failures. Treating these infections …

Antibacterial coating is rapidly emerging as a pivotal strategy for mitigating spread of
bacterial pathogens. However, many challenges still need to be overcome in order to …

Titanium implants are widely used in medicine but have a risk of biomaterial‐associated
infection (BAI), of which traditional antibiotic‐based treatment is affected by resistance …

In this paper, we developed a method for covalent multi-biofunctionalization of a titanium
surface with mixtures of peptides at any desired ratios using click chemistry. We …

Strategies to inhibit initial bacterial adhesion are extremely important to prevent infection on
biomaterial surfaces. However, the simultaneous attraction of desired eukaryotic cells …

It is still a challenge to prevent the formation of bacterial biofilms on the surfaces of oral
implants. A chemical peptide with binding and antibacterial properties may be a promising …

Dental implant failure can be associated with infections that develop into peri-implantitis. In
order to reduce biofilm formation, several strategies focusing on the use of antimicrobial …

Peri-implantitis is a plaque-initiating infectious disease that can be prevented by interfering
with the initial bacterial attachment. At present, surface modification of implants using …
