ABSTRACT
Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is a biomaterial, which commonly used for repair of tissue defects; however, infection is the main factor underlying the failure of treatments involving ADM. To enhance the anti-infection ability of ADM, we constructed a new form of ADM that was decorated with nano-silver ('NS-ADM'). The introduction of nano-silver did not destroy the decellularized structure of ADM, and no significant difference was detected with regards to the maximum tensile force when compared between NS-ADM and ADM (P = 0.351). NS-ADM was not cytotoxic to cell growth when the concentration of nano-silver solution ≤ 25 ppm and exhibited strong antibacterial activity in vitro. Besides, when rats were inoculated with 104 CFU/mL, there were significantly lower bacterial counts in the NS-ADM group than in the ADM group when assessed seven days after surgery (P = 0.047); no significant differences were detected on days 14 and 28. Although there were no significant differences in bacterial counts on days 7, 14, or 21 between the two groups (rats were inoculated with 106 CFU/mL), the number of rats showing reduced bacterial counts or clearing was higher in the NS-ADM group than in the ADM group. Rats that were inoculated with 108 CFU/mL showed repair failure. Overall, NS-ADM is a promising antibacterial biomaterial for repairing contaminated soft-tissue defects, in which antibacterial properties are superior to ADM. The antibacterial activity of NS-ADM was limited for severe infections, and further in vivo studies are needed to evaluate its efficacy and biosafety.
