“…The antibacterial capability was tested with E. coli strains (DH5α) showing good bacterial inhibition while increasing the TiO 2 film thickness. Other techniques frequently used are based on magnetron sputtering (99-101), ion beam sputtering (102) and spray pyrolisis (103).…”

Int J Artif Organs ( 2011; : 9) 929-946 34 TITANIUM OXIDE AND ANTIBACTERIAL SURFACES IN BIOMEDICAL DEVICES Device-related infections: a clinical demand driving material science researchAn increasing number of clinical procedures requires the use of biomedical devices, whose widespread presence in modern therapeutic treatments is driving the demand for better performances and longer reliability. One of the major issues of both short-term devices and implantable prostheses is represented by device-related infections (DRIs) Accepted: August 31, 2011 rEViEW due to bacterial colonization and proliferation (1). About half of the 2 million cases of nosocomial infections that occur each year in the United States are associated with indwelling devices (2): these infections generally require a longer period of antibiotic therapy and repeated surgical procedures, resulting in potential risks for the patient and increased costs for the healthcare system. The planktonic bacteria that colonize a device surface tend to form a biofilm and the sessile bacterial cells, enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix of this kind, can withstand host immune responses and generally show extraordinary antibiotic resistance (3). Eventually, bacteria rapid multiply and disperse in planktonic form, giving rise

“…Other ways to deposit these films comprise: reactive magnetron sputtering [25][26][27], ion beam sputtering [28], spray pyrolysis [29], hydrothermal technique [12], chemical vapor deposition [22] and metallorganic chemical vapor deposition method [30]. Thin TiO 2 films, deposited using the above-listed techniques, exhibit both photocatalytic properties and receptiveness to the modification of their hydrophilicity under the effect of UV light.…”
