Abstract:Introduction: Implantable medical devices continue to be vulnerable to bacterial infections. The unrelenting formation of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains not only exacerbates these infections but also renders the current treatment strategies impotent. The need is greater than ever for innovative and effective approaches to counteract drug-resistant bacteria. This study examines the innate antibacterial properties of TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) and their ability to locally deliver antibiotics to inactiva… Show more
