Abstract
Periprosthetic infection is a devastating postimplantation complication in which a biofilm layer harboring invasive microorganisms forms around orthopedic implants, leading to severe implant failure and patient morbidity. Despite the development of several infection-triggered antibiotic release approaches, most current antibacterial coatings are susceptible to undesired antibiotic leakage or mechanical disintegration during prosthesis installation. Herein, we propose a self-controllable proteinic antibacterial coating capable of both long-lasting adherence onto titanium implant substrates over the implant fixation period and instantaneous bacterial eradication. Importantly, the pH-dependent reversible metal coordination of mussel adhesive protein (MAP) enabled bacterial concentration-dependent antibiotic delivery in response to infection-induced acidification. In addition, the MAP coating exhibited superior self-healable adhesive properties and scratch resistance, which enabled to avert issues associated with mechanical damages, including peeling and cracking, often occurring in conventional implant coating systems. The gentamicin-loaded MAP coating exhibited complete inhibition of bacterial growth in vivo against Staphylococcus aureus penetrations during implantation surgery (immediate infection) and even 4 weeks after implantation (delayed infection). Thus, our antibiotic-loaded MAP hydrogel coating can open new avenues for self-defensive antibiotic prophylaxis to achieve instant and sustainable bacteriocidal activity in orthopedic prostheses. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 217:112696. [PMID: 35834998 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.112696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
The accumulation of microbes on long-wear artificial dental materials creates a great risk for oral diseases and causes deterioration of material properties. Therefore, smart antibacterial materials capable of resisting the colonization of microorganisms and simultaneously eliminating pathogenic bacteria as needed show outstanding superiority for the recovery of dental health, which are scarcely reported until now. Here, we present a responsive hydrogel coating as invisible assassin on clear overlay appliances target for dental caries. Taking advantage of pH-responsive carboxybetaine methacrylate-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer P(CBMA-co-DMAEMA) and antibacterial peptides, the surface potential of hydrogel shifts positively, accompanied with the release of antibacterial peptides when pH gets lower. The hybrid hydrogel layer hence exerts antifouling property and resists bacterial adhesion in normal physiological, while captures and kills cariogenic bacteria in acidic condition. This biocompatible, transparent and stable hydrogel coating has little influence for the aesthetics and mechanical properties of bulk materials. The strategy developed here can provide reference for the design of biomedical devices in other areas.

Abstract
Microenvironment-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) can achieve targeted drug delivery, reduce drug side effects and improve drug efficacies. Among them, pH-responsive DDSs have gained popularity since the pH in the diseased tissues such as cancer, bacterial infection and inflammation differs from a physiological pH of 7.4 and this difference could be harnessed for DDSs to release encapsulated drugs specifically to these diseased tissues. A variety of synthetic approaches have been developed to prepare pH-sensitive DDSs, including introduction of a variety of pH-sensitive chemical bonds or protonated/deprotonated chemical groups. A myriad of nano DDSs have been explored to be pH-responsive, including liposomes, micelles, hydrogels, dendritic macromolecules and organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles, and micron level microspheres. The prodrugs from drug-loaded pH-sensitive nano DDSs have been applied in research on anticancer therapy and diagnosis of cancer, inflammation, antibacterial infection, and neurological diseases. We have systematically summarized synthesis strategies of pH-stimulating DDSs, illustrated commonly used and recently developed nanocarriers for these DDSs and covered their potential in different biomedical applications, which may spark new ideas for the development and application of pH-sensitive nano DDSs.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms encased in extracellular polymeric substances to create protected microenvironments are typically challenging to disperse by common antibiotics and cannot be in situ visualized under current modalities. Herein, a pH-responsive branched polymer [poly(MBA-AEPZ)-AEPZ-NA] capable of overcoming antibiotic resistance and real-time visualizing biofilms for fluorescence imaging-guided infection control is reported. The positively charged polymer can effectively penetrate bacterial biofilms, neutralize the anionic character, and then disrupt the structural integrity, thus significantly promoting the transport of antibiotics into biofilms. The polymer shows a weak fluorescence emission intensity under physiological conditions (pH 7.4) but emits intense green-light emission within the localized biofilm microenvironment (pH 5.5) to real-time visualize bacterial biofilms. A therapeutic system made of the polymer and a model antibiotic can significantly reduce the dosages of the drug, thereby minimizing biofilm-induced drug resistance. Notably, a green fluorescent polymer responding to localized pH conditions is demonstrated in living zebrafish. This work confirmed that combinations of the pH-responsive branched polymer and antibiotics could be administered to overcome drug resistance and realize fluorescence imaging-guided treatment of bacterial biofilm infections.
