Abstract Treatment of implant-associated infection is becoming more challenging, especially
when bacterial biofilms form on the surface of implants. To address the challenge of biofilm …

Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on indwelling medical devices potentially cause
serious and life-threatening infections. Technologies to prevent bacterial colonization and …

Infection associated with implants and devices is a problem in medicine, especially when
bacterial colonization leads to the formation of biofilms on the implant surface. Here, we …

Biofilm formation of pathogenic bacteria on the surfaces of implantable biomedical devices
limit their applications and effective usage. Current antimicrobial coatings for implantable …

Hydrophilic antifouling coatings based on zwitterionic polymers have been widely applied
for the surface modification of bone implants to combat biofilm formation and reduce the …

Peri-implant infections from bacterial biofilms on artificial surfaces are a common threat to all
medical implants. They are a handicap for the patient and can lead to implant failure or even …

Medical implant-associated infections resulting from biofilm formation triggered by unspecific
protein adsorption are the prevailing cause of implant failure. However, implant surfaces …

A hybrid coating composed of hydroxyapatite (HA), Ag nanoparticles (NPs), and chitosan
(CS) was successfully prepared on a Ti substrate by a layer-by-layer assembly process. A …

Once a biomedical implant is implanted into a human body, proteins and bacteria can easily
colonize the implant, and subsequently, a biofilm can grow on the surface. A biofilm can …

Combating implant-associated infections is an urgent demand due to the increasing
numbers in surgical operations such as joint replacements and dental implantations …
