Bacterial infections can have adverse effects on the efficacy, lifetime and safety of an implanted device and are the second most commonly attributed cause of orthopedic implant failure. We have previously shown the assembly of PEGylated titanium-binding peptides (TBPs) on Ti to obtain a bacteriophobic surface coating that can effectively resist protein adsorption and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) adhesion. In the present study, we examine the effect of multiple TBP repeats on coating performance in vitro. Mono, di, and tetravalent peptides were synthesized and assessed for binding affinity and serum stability. PEGylated analogs were prepared and evaluated for their effect on S. aureus attachment and biofilm formation. Coating performance improved with the number of TBP repeats, with the tetravalent coating, TBP(4)-PEG, showing the best performance in all assays. In particular, TBP(4)-PEG forms a serum-resistant surface coating capable of preventing S. aureus colonization and subsequent biofilm formation. These results further support the role that multivalency can play in the development of improved surface coatings with enhanced stabilities and efficacy for in vivo clinical use.

Endophytic fungi are non-pathogenic organisms that colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically. Endophytes derived from medicinal plants are sources for identifying natural products and bioactive compounds with potential uses for industry, medicine, agriculture, and related sectors. In the present study, ethyl acetate crude extracts of four endophytic fungal isolates (CALF1, CALF4, and CASF1) from the medicinal plant Plectranthus amboinicus showed potent antimicrobial activity against the test pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis using disc diffusion assays.

Background: Antiseptic solutions are commonly utilized during total joint arthroplasty (TJA) to prevent and treat periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The purpose of this study was to investigate which antiseptic solution is most effective against methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Escherichia coli biofilms established in vitro on orthopaedic surfaces commonly utilized in total knee arthroplasty: cobalt-chromium (CC), oxidized zirconium (OxZr), and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a refractory pneumonia-causing pathogen due to the antibiotic resistance and the characteristics of persisting inside its host cell. Lysostaphin is a typical bacteriolytic enzyme for degrading bacterial cell walls via hydrolysis of pentaglycine cross-links, showing potential to combat multidrug-resistant bacteria. However, there are still grand challenges for native lysostaphin because of its poor shelf stability and limited bioavailability.
