Abstract
Bacterial infection is a major complication associated with bioimplant materials, including titanium (Ti) based orthopedic joints and dental implants. Thus, the fabrication of Ti surfaces with antibacterial activity is highly important. Black phosphorus (BP) is a recently discovered promising two-dimensional semiconductor for various biomedical applications due to its tunable bandgap and physicochemical properties. The present study aimed to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) laden BP nanohybrids (NH) and their coatings on a Ti bioimplant surface for improving the antibacterial activities against pathogenic bacteria with and without near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. Nanohybrids were produced with the slightly oxidized BP NF and electrostatically laden ZnO NP. The produced BP-ZnO NH was a NIR active nanomaterial (up to ∼1000 nm), demonstrating a photothermal effect against bacterial infection and showing improved activity by damaging the cell membrane towards S. aureus in comparison to E. coli. Ti surface coated with BP-ZnO NH embedded chitosan (CS) demonstrated better antibacterial activity than BP NF, especially with NIR light treatment. Additionally, the produced BP nanoflakes and BP-ZnO NH, and their coatings over the Ti surface were found to be toxic at a negligible level. Electrochemical studies revealed the high corrosion resistance of the Ti surface coated with the synthesized antibacterial agents without altering its characteristic passive behavior. Owing to the interactions between the charged groups between chitosan and cell surfaces, a slight increase in antibacterial activities was noticed. Chitosan-based coating matrix embedded with nanoagents has adhered well over the Ti surface due to its inherent film-forming and high adhesion properties.

Sci Rep 2022; 12:9678. [PMID: 35690659 PMCID: PMC9188611 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-13699-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In a human host, bacterial Staphylococcus aureus and fungal Candida albicans pathogens form a mixed biofilm that causes severe mortality and morbidity. However, research on the formation and eradication of mixed biofilms under dynamic conditions is lacking. Thus, this study employed a microfluidic technique to analyze the real-time formation of mono- and dual-species (S. aureus and C. albicans) biofilms and noninvasive optical treatment of the established mature biofilm using 405-nm laser light. A herringbone mixer thoroughly mixed both bacterial and fungal cells in the growth media before being injected into the observation channels on the microfluidic chip. At a flow rate of 1.0 µL/min of growth media for 24 h, the bacterial biofilm coverage was up to 15% higher than that of the fungal biofilm (50% for bacteria vs. 35% for fungus). On the other hand, the dual-species biofilm yielded the highest coverage of ~ 96.5% because of the collective interaction between S. aureus and C. albicans. The number of cell proliferation events in S. aureus was higher than that of C. albicans for 12 h, which indicates that the S. aureus biofilm was developed faster than C. albicans. The novel in situ test platform showed a significant bactericidal effect (80%) of the 405-nm laser light at 1080 J/cm2 towards the established S. aureus biofilm, whereas the same treatment removed approximately 69% of the mixed cells in the dual-species biofilm. This study revealed that the developed microfluidic platform could be utilized to monitor the formation of dual-species biofilms in real-time and laser-induced antimicrobial effects on dual-species biofilms.
