Multivalent network modifier upregulates bioactivity of multispecies biofilm-resistant polyalkenoate cement

Antibiofilm Activity of Biocide Metal Ions Containing Bioactive Glasses (BGs): A Mini Review

“…A recent study [ 23 ] reported that F18 glass, synthesized by the melting method, belonging to the SiO 2 -Na 2 O-K 2 O-MgO-CaO-P 2 O 5 system, is a promising material for preventing and controlling bacterial biofilm. The bacterial strains S. aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) were used to evaluate the reduction of the biofilm.…”

“…The results showed the inhibition of the S. aureus biofilm following direct contact with the F18 BG particles for 6 h. A reduction of the viable bacterial population by about six logs was observed. Additionally, there was a reduction in the MRSA S. aureus biofilm and S. aureus by approximately five logs when the bacterial cells were exposed to an intermediate dosage of 12 mg/mL (F18 dissolution products and powder) [ 23 ].…”

“…Considerable efforts are being devoted to finding and manufacturing biomaterials that have applications in therapies for bone infections [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Bioactive glasses (BGs) have become an emerging field for bone pathologies due to their antibacterial properties.…”
