In vitro studies of antibacterial activity of sol-gel bioglasses containing Mg, Sr and Au
Journal Title: Engineering of Biomaterials / Inżynieria Biomateriałów - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 134
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine in vitro antibacterial activity of bioactive glasses doped with Mg, Sr and Au. Authors showed tests of modified bioglasses containing selected elements incorporated to the composition in order to increase bioactivity, which could contribute to physiological processes of osteogenesis and exhibit bactericidal activity. The presence of magnesium in the composition of the biomaterial enhances its bioactivity. Strontium improves the proliferation of bone cells. Gold belongs to the group of “ultra-elements” which show antibacterial activity and activate metabolism by acting on enzymes. The silane used for the synthesis of sol-gel bioglasses may also increase bioactivity. Bioglass P5-VS containing 70 wt% of SiO2 and 25 wt% of CaO and 5 wt% of P2O5 was a reference material. Bioglasses P5-VS-1_Mg and P5-VS-1_Sr with the same composition as P5-VS were obtained by substituting 1 wt% of CaO by MgO or SrO respectively. In the case of bioglasses P5-VS-Au_r-r and P5-VS- -Au_nzk nanoparticles of Au were added in the amount of 0.00065 wt% and 0.002 wt% as colloidal solution or nonionic colloidal gold respectively. Physical and chemical properties of sol-gel bioactive glasses including grain morphology and bioactivity in simulated body fluid and the results of cytotoxicity were presented in a previous publication. It was found that bioglasses were bioactive in contact with simulated body fluid (SBF) and were not toxic on L929 cells in vitro. The results of in vitro antibacterial activity studies of obtained bioglasses showed higher activity against strain of Staphylococcus aureus than Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The growth of microorganisms was inhibited in the most effective way by the bioglass P5-VS-1_Sr. The P5-VS bioglass without Mg, Sr or Au shows the weakest bactericidal effect.
