Fuzong Clinical Medical College of Fujian Medical University Researchers Describe Recent Advances in Staphylococcus aureus (Iodine-doped TiO2 nanotube coatings: a technique for enhancing the antimicrobial properties of titanium surfaces against...).

Researchers from Fuzong Clinical Medical College of Fujian Medical University have developed an antibacterial coating for titanium implants to prevent and treat implant-related infections. The coating, which consists of TiO2 nanotubes with iodine doping, was found to have superior antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus compared to untreated titanium plates and TiO2-nanocoated titanium plates. This new coating technology provides a theoretical basis for the development of anti-infective implants in orthopedics. The research was published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research.
