Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The biological extracellular matrix materials become the focus of pelvic floor repair materials research because of its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical compatibility. However, bacterial infection can damage the function of biological repair materials.
OBJECTIVE: To prepare the biologic antimicrobial materials for pelvic tissue function repair.
METHODS: Chitosan and tigecycline-loaded chitosan nanoparticles suspension was prepared by the electrostatic adsorption and self-aggregation of nanoparticles preparation techniques. Then the suspension was coated onto the surface of extracellular matrix materials. The morphological examination was performed by scanning electron microscope. The antibacterial property was detected by solid plate microbial culture method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Infrared spectra displayed that aromatic ring skeleton vibration peak of chitosan occurred on the biologic antimicrobial materials, and it was significantly widened at about 3 359 cm-1, indicating the composite coating was successful to modify the surface of extracellular matrix materials. As a very small dose  
of tigecycline, there was no characteristic absorption peak on the infrared spectra. Scanning electron microscopy showed the porous structure of the material surface with some nanoparticles adhesion. The prepared materials had good antibacterial properties on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and the inhibition zone diameter was significantly increased with the increasing concentration of antibacterial agent. The biologic antimicrobial materials for pelvic tissue function repair were prepared successfully.
