Poster summary
- Bacterial infection associated with bone grafts can lead to implant failure and their treatment is a costly endeavor; therefore, an ideal bone scaffold should merge both biocompatibility and antibacterial activity. In our study, a unique strontium/zinc (Sr/Zn) co-doped nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) and Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) -(PLGA) composite scaffold was fabricated using a chemical precipitation method with different ratios of Sr/Zn ions (1%, 2.5%, and 4%). The scaffolds’ antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility were evaluated. The results showed a dose-dependent reduction in bacterial numbers as the Zn concentration increased, with 4% Zn showing the best antibacterial properties. PLGA incorporation in Sr/Zn-nHAp did not affect the Zn antibacterial activity and the 4% Sr/Zn-nHAp-PLGA scaffold showed a 99.7% bacterial growth inhibition. MTT cell viability assay showed no apparent cytotoxicity and the highest doping percentage in the 4% Sr/Zn-nHAp-PLGA was found to be ideal for cell growth.
