A Novel Activated-Zinc Antiseptic Solution Effective Against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Pig Model
Identifying the optimal agent for irrigation for periprosthetic joint infection remains challenging as there is limited data. The ideal solution should have minimal cytotoxicity while maintaining bactericidal activity.
A Novel Activated Zinc Solution with Improved Efficacy Against Pseudomonas and MRSA Biofilm Compared to Chlorhexidine and Povidone-Iodine
The search for the optimal agent for infection eradication in periprosthetic joint infection(PJI) remains challenging as there are limited efficacious and safe options. The ideal solution should have significant bactericidal and anti-biofilm activity to be able to eradicate infection with the preservation of prosthetic components. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to 1.) investigate the anti-biofilm efficacy of a novel activated-zinc solution against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) biofilm in vitro and 2.) compare its efficacy against two leading commercially available antimicrobial irrigants(CHG and 0.35% PI).
