Bacterial infections and biofilm formation on the surface of implants are important issues that greatly affect biomedical applications and even cause device failure. Construction of high drug loading systems on the surface and control of drug release on-demand is an efficient way to lower the development of resistant bacteria and biofilm formation. In the present study, (montmorillonite/hyaluronic acid-gentamicin) ((MMT/HA-GS)) organic/inorganic hybrid multilayer films were alternately self-assembled on substrates. The loading dosage of GS was as high as 0.85 mg/cm, which could be due the high specific surface area of MMT. The obtained multilayer film with high roughness gradually degraded in hyaluronidase (HAS) solutions or a bacterial infection microenvironment, which caused the responsive release of GS. The release of GS showed dual enzyme and bacterial infection responsiveness, which also indicated good drug retention and on-demand self-defense release properties of the multilayer films. Moreover, the GS release responsiveness to E. coli showed higher sensitivity than that to S. aureus. There was only ∼5 wt % GS release from the film in PBS after 48 h of immersion, and the amount quickly increased to 30 wt % in 10 CFU/mL of E. coli. Importantly, the high drug dosage, smart drug release, and film peeling from the surface contributed to the efficient antibacterial properties and long-term biofilm inhibition functions. Both in vitro and in vivo antibacterial tests indicated efficient sterilization function and good mammalian cell and tissue compatibility.
细菌感染和植入物表面生物膜的形成是影响生物医学应用的重要问题,甚至会导致器械失效。在表面构建高载药量系统并按需控制药物释放是降低耐药菌产生和生物膜形成的有效方法。本研究中,(蒙脱土/透明质酸-庆大霉素)((MMT/HA-GS))有机/无机杂化多层膜在基底上交替自组装。GS 的加载剂量高达 0.85mg/cm,这可能是由于 MMT 的比表面积高。所得的多层膜具有较高的粗糙度,在透明质酸酶(HAS)溶液或细菌感染微环境中逐渐降解,导致 GS 的响应性释放。GS 的释放表现出双重酶和细菌感染响应性,这也表明了多层膜具有良好的药物保留和按需自防御释放性能。此外,GS 释放对大肠杆菌的响应性比金黄色葡萄球菌更敏感。在 PBS 中浸泡 48 小时后,从薄膜中仅释放出约 5wt%的 GS,而在 10CFU/mL 的大肠杆菌中,GS 的释放量迅速增加到 30wt%。重要的是,高药物剂量、智能药物释放和薄膜从表面剥落有助于实现高效的抗菌性能和长期的生物膜抑制功能。体外和体内抗菌试验均表明具有高效的杀菌功能和良好的哺乳动物细胞和组织相容性。
