The Interrelationship Between the Drug Embedded Tizr Surface Properties and Antibacterial Effect

Abstract: This paper is a report about the elaboration of surfaces coated with PLA nanofibers embedded with gentamicin and its release. The manuscript investigated surface analysis, drug loading and the kinetics of the release. The research design includes FT-IR structural identification of embedded gentamicin, Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) for morphology and composition and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to measure adhesion force. The antibacterial inhibition index … Show more

“…The cumulative drug released fraction after 144 h was in the region of 90%. The result obtained is in agreement with those obtained for other nanostructures formed on the surface of the TiZr alloy, having drug embedded [ 23 , 24 ]. Generally speaking, the diffusion of active chemicals toward the solution may be impacted by the morphological characteristics of the films [ 44 ].…”

“…aureus is, as can be seen, slightly lower than the value for E. coli. For the PPy-GS-coated TiZr alloy, the obtained values for the inhibition index are 75.4 for Staphylococcus aureus and 86.9 for Escherichia coli, being higher values than those For the PPy-GS-coated TiZr alloy, the obtained values for the inhibition index are 75.4 for Staphylococcus aureus and 86.9 for Escherichia coli, being higher values than those obtained for other nanostructures with embedded drugs [14,23]. Frequently better results are obtained for Staphylococcus aureus vs. E. coli, and this fact is attributed to differences in the membranes of the two organisms.…”

“…Comparing this spectrum with the physical mixture without trehalose (PM1), we observed a peak of increased intensity at 3319 cm -1 , which was attributed to the stretching vibration of two crystalline water in trehalose dihydrate. The weaker peaks at around 2900 cm -1 corresponded to the C-H stretching in trehalose and poloxamer [39][40][41]. In the freeze-dried sample with trehalose, the peaks discussed so far have disappeared and an intense broad peak appeared in the 3700 -3000 cm -1 wavenumber range strongly suggesting the formation of hydrogen bonds.…”
