Surface photosterilization of implantable silicone biomaterials : structural and functional characterization
Copyright © 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) remain one of the major challenges faced by the global healthcare system. The increasing rate of pathogenic resistance against antibiotics suggests that alternative treatments are needed to control recurrent infections. Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are the third most common type of HAI worldwide, and this is mainly due to indwelling devices being excellent substrates for bacterial adhesion and growth. Subsequent biofilm formation on the implant surface acts as a constant nidus of bacteria and infection, thereby contributing to increased rates of patient morbidity and mortality. Here, we propose a simple and cost-effective method to sterilize silicone-based implant surfaces and prevent initial bacterial colonization, using Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and an embedded ruthenium photosensitizer (PS). Exposure to LED light triggers potent photokilling action, resulting in significant bactericidal activity as evidenced by the number of adherent bacteria being below the level of detection (<10 CFU/mL) after 24 h. Live/dead staining studies using fluorescence microscopy indicated significant reduction in surface-adhered bacterial growth and biofilm formation. This potent antibacterial activity was verified in vivo, with exposure of contaminated PDMS coupons containing PS to LED prior to implantation resulting in over 99.5% reduction in adherent bacteria compared to controls over the 3-day implantation period. Histological analysis of the implantation site of PDMS+PS samples, in the absence of bacteria, revealed no adverse reactions. This was also confirmed using in vitro cytotoxicity studies. Tensile strength, surface roughness, hydrophobicity, and the development of encrustation of surface-treated groups exhibit comparable or improved properties to bare PDMS.
