In orthopedics and traumatology surgeries, the repair of bone deformities is a concern. Pure and Cobalt (Co) doped Calcium phosphate (CaP) cements were successfully prepared in this study. The particles that had been manufactured were characterized. Three different methods were used to study the structure of the materials: Xray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The lattice characteristics, degree of crystallinity, and particle size of pure CaP bone cement were reduced dramatically with the incorporation of Co 2+ ions. The functional groups of CaP bone cements were detected via the FTIR technique. Antibacterial properties of pure and Co doped CaP bone cement were evaluated qualitatively against Escherichia coli (E. Coli, gram -), Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA, gram +). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, gram +), Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CoNS, gram +), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa, gram -) bacteria for 24 h at 37 ºC. After analyzing the data, it was found that the inclusion of Co 2+ ions inhibited the growth of E. coli and MSSA bacteria. Antibacterial bone cements are potential material for preventing infection-related bone healing failures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
