  Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial and antibiofilm properties of low viscosity chitosan on S. epidermidis growth and biofilm formation. Methods and Results The antibacterial and antibiofilm properties were investigated, during both planktonic growth and biofilm formation. This was performed using different concentrations in media and by coating on polystyrene surfaces. In addition, the bactericidal effect was investigated using a modified direct contact test. The results showed that low viscosity chitosan in media had both a bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect on planktonic growth and biofilm formation of S. epidermidis in a concentration dependent manner. Polystyrene discs coated with chitosan reduced both early biofilm formation (6 h) and late biofilm formation (18 h), as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The modified direct contact test showed a bactericidal effect. Conclusion This study demonstrated that low viscosity chitosan has a bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity against S. epidermidis and that the activity is dependent on the amount of chitosan added. In addition, low viscosity chitosan reduced biofilm formation both when added to media and when coated on polystyrene surfaces. Significance and Impact of Study Low viscosity chitosan could be a contribution to new treatment approaches of biofilm-related infections of S. epidermidis.

  Biofilm formation on dental abutment may lead to peri-implant mucositis and subsequent peri-implantitis. These cases are clinically treated with antibiotics such as doxycycline (Doxy). Here we used an electrochemical method of cathodic polarization to coat Doxy onto the outer surface of a dental abutment material. The Doxy-coated surface showed a burst release in phosphate-buffered saline during the first 24 h. However, a significant amount of Doxy remained on the surface for at least 2 weeks especially on a 5 mA–3 h sample with a higher Doxy amount, suggesting both an initial and a long-term bacteriostatic potential of the coated surface. Surface chemistry was analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. Surface topography was evaluated by field emission scanning electron microscopy and blue-light profilometry. Longer polarization time from 1 h to 5 h and higher current density from 1 to 15 mA cm−2 resulted in a higher amount of Doxy on the surface. The surface was covered by a layer of Doxy less than 100 nm without significant changes in surface topography. The antibacterial property of the Doxy-coated surface was analyzed by biofilm and planktonic growth assays using Staphylococcus epidermidis. Doxy-coated samples reduced both biofilm accumulation and planktonic growth in broth culture, and also inhibited bacterial growth on agar plates. The antibacterial effect was stronger for samples of 5 mA–3 h coated with a higher amount of Doxy compared to that of 1 mA–1 h. Accordingly, an abutment surface coated with Doxy has potential for preventing bacterial colonization when exposed to the oral cavity. Doxy-coating could be a viable way to control peri-implant mucositis and prevent its progression into peri-implantitis.

  Objective The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of combined chemical and mechanical debridement of titanium (Ti) surfaces inoculated with Staphylococcus epidermidis, compared with the effect of chemical debridement alone. Material and Methods Different Ti surfaces were characterized with respect to roughness and subsequently inoculated with S. epidermidis. NaCl (0.9 vol.%), EDTA (12 vol.%), H2O2 (3 vol.%) or H2O2 + TiO2 nanoparticles served as chemical debridement agents, while TiBrush™ was used as the mechanical debridement tool. Safranin staining assessed biomass still attached to surfaces after debridement. Biofilm viability was assessed after re-incubation of the debrided samples. SEM analysis was performed before and after the cleaning process. Results Surface average roughness (Sa) of the samples was measured at 2.22 ± 0.19 μm for group A, 0.19 ± 0.02 μm for group B, and 1.99 ± 0.10 μm for group C. When chemical debridement agents were used alone, H2O2-containing products were most efficient in reducing the biomass load. The surface roughness did not affect the outcome of chemical debridement. However, when combining chemical and mechanical debridement, a further reduction of biofilm load and viability was observed with best effect on the smoothest surface. Conclusions Combining H2O2-containing chemical agents with mechanical debridement (TiBrush™) provided best reduction in biofilm mass and re-growth, when studied in vitro.

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research. Part A.  ISSN 1549-3296.  102(4), s 1063- 1070 . doi: 10.1002/jbm.a.34757 Show summary

  Biofilm formation on medical devices is a common cause of implant failure, especially regarding implants that breach the epithelial tissue, so-called transcutaneous implants. Nanotechnology and the development of new nanomaterials have given the opportunity to design nanotextured implant surfaces. Such surfaces have been studied using various in vitro methods showing that nanosized features strongly benefit bone cell growth. However, little is known on how nanostructured features affect biofilm formation. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the shape- and chemical-dependent effect of a nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on the degree of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation. Three different types of nanosized HA particles having different shapes and calcium to phosphate ratios were compared to uncoated turned titanium using safranin stain in a biofilm assay and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) for assessment of biofilm biomass and bacterial volume, respectively. No difference in biofilm biomass was detected for the various surfaces after 6 h incubation with S. epidermidis. Additionally, image analysis of CLSM Z-stacks confirmed the biofilm assay and showed similar results. In conclusion, the difference in nanomorphology and chemical composition of the surface coatings did not influence the adhesion and biofilm formation of S. epidermidis. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

  The coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are commensals of human skin and mucous membranes. Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most frequently isolated CNS species, and also one of the major nosocomial pathogens associated with infections on medical implants. The cause of infections is primarily related to biofilm formation on the implant. S. epidermidis infections represent a major burden to the public health system, and are often responsible for prolonged hospitalisation and occasional deaths. Microorganisms in nature prefer a biofilm life style. Biofilm infections are often difficult to treat due to increased resistance both to antibiotics and to the immune system. The algae Delisea pulchra produces bromated furanones that prevent bacterial biofilm formation on its surface. Similar furanones may interfere with both autoinducer-2 and autoinducer-1 signalling in Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms without affecting bacterial growth.
