Abstract
AbstractThis study investigated the efficacy of a biphasic synthetic β-tricalcium phosphate/calcium sulfate (β-TCP/CS) bone graft substitute for compatibility with vancomycin (V) in combination with tobramycin (T) or gentamicin (G) evidenced by the duration of potency and the prevention and killing efficacies of P. aeruginosa (PAO1) and S. aureus (SAP231) biofilms in in vitro assays. Antibiotic loaded β-TCP/CS beads were compared with antibiotic loaded beads formed from a well characterized synthetic calcium sulfate (CS) bone void filler. β-TCP/CS antibiotic loaded showed antimicrobial potency against PAO1 in a repeated Kirby-Bauer like zone of inhibition assay for 6 days compared to 8 days for CS. However, both bead types showed potency against SAP231 for 40 days. Both formulations loaded with V + T completely prevented biofilm formation (CFU below detection limits) for the 3 days of the experiment with daily fresh inoculum challenges (P < 0.001). In addition, both antibiotic loaded materials and antibiotic combinations significantly reduced the bioburden of pre-grown biofilms by between 3 and 5 logs (P < 0.001) with V + G performing slightly better against PAO1 than V + T. Our data, combined with previous data on osteogenesis suggest that antibiotic loaded β-TCP/CS may have potential to stimulate osteogenesis through acting as a scaffold as well as simultaneously protecting against biofilm infection. Future in vivo experiments and clinical investigations are warranted to more comprehensively evaluate the use of β-TCP/CS in the management of orthopaedic infections.
