Abstrakt: New biocompatible and bioabsorbable materials are currently being developed for bone regeneration. These serve as scaffolding for controlled drug release and prevent bacterial infections. Films of polylactic acid (PLA) polymers that are Mg-reinforced have demonstrated they have suitable properties and bioactive behavior for promoting the osseointegration process. However little attention has been paid to studying whether the degradation process can alter the adhesive physical properties of the biodegradable film and whether this can modify the biofilm formation capacity of pathogens. Moreover, considering that the concentration of Mg and other corrosion products may not be constant during the degradation process, the question that arises is whether these changes can have negative consequences in terms of the bacterial colonization of surfaces. Bacteria are able to react differently to the same compound, depending on its concentration in the medium and can even become stronger when threatened. In this context, physical surface parameters such as hydrophobicity, surface tension and zeta potential of PLA films reinforced with 10% Mg have been determined before and after degradation, as well as the biofilm formation capacity of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The addition of Mg to the films makes them less hydrophobic and the degradation also reduces the hydrophobicity and increases the negative charge of the surface, especially over long periods of time. Early biofilm formation at 8 h is consistent with the physical properties of the films, where we can observe a reduction in the bacterial biofilm formation. However, after 24 h of incubation, the biofilm formation increases significantly on the PLA/Mg films with respect to PLA control. The explosive release of Mg ions and other corrosion products within the first hours were not enough to prevent a greater biofilm formation after this initial time. Consequently, the Mg addition to the polymer matrix had a bacteriostatic effect but not a bactericidal one. Future works should aim to optimize the design and biofunctionality of these promising bioabsorbable composites for a degradation period suitable for the intended application.
