The Ti-6Al-4V alloy is one of the most commonly used in orthopedic surgery. Despite its advantages, there is an increasing need to use new titanium alloys with no toxic elements and improved biomechanical properties, such as Ti-13Nb-13Zr. Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are mainly caused by Gram-positive bacteria; however, Gram-negative bacteria are a growing problem due to associated multidrug resistance. In this study, the bacterial adherence and viability on the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy have been compared to that of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy using 16 collection and clinical strains of bacterial species related to PJI: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. When compared with the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, bacterial adherence on the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy was significantly higher in most staphylococcal and P. aeruginosa strains and lower for E. coli strains. The proportion of live bacteria was significantly lower for both Gram-negative species on the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy than on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy pointing to some bactericidal effect of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy. This bactericidal effect appears to be a consequence of the formation of hydroxyl radicals, since this effect is neutralized when dimethylsulfoxide was added to both the saline solution and water used to wash the stain. The antibacterial effect of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy against Gram-negative bacteria is an interesting property useful for the prevention of PJI caused by these bacteria on this potential alternative to the Ti-6Al-4V alloy for orthopedic surgery.
Ti-6Al-4V 合金是骨科手术中最常用的合金之一。尽管它有很多优点,但越来越需要使用没有有毒元素和改进的生物力学性能的新型钛合金,例如 Ti-13Nb-13Zr。人工关节感染(PJI)主要由革兰氏阳性菌引起;然而,由于相关的多药耐药性,革兰氏阴性菌成为一个日益严重的问题。在这项研究中,使用与 PJI 相关的 16 种采集和临床细菌菌株,比较了 Ti-13Nb-13Zr 合金与 Ti-6Al-4V 合金的细菌黏附和活力:金黄色葡萄球菌、表皮葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌和铜绿假单胞菌。与 Ti-6Al-4V 合金相比,Ti-13Nb-13Zr 合金上大多数葡萄球菌和铜绿假单胞菌菌株的细菌黏附显著增加,而大肠杆菌菌株的细菌黏附显著降低。革兰氏阴性菌在 Ti-13Nb-13Zr 合金上的活菌比例明显低于 Ti-6Al-4V 合金,表明 Ti-13Nb-13Zr 合金具有一定的杀菌作用。这种杀菌作用似乎是羟基自由基形成的结果,因为当向盐水溶液和用于清洗污渍的水中添加二甲基亚砜时,这种作用被中和。Ti-13Nb-13Zr 合金对革兰氏阴性菌的抗菌作用是一种有趣的特性,对于预防这些细菌引起的 PJI 很有用,这是骨科手术中 Ti-6Al-4V 合金的潜在替代品。
