In our previous work we reported the impact of hydrofluoric and nitric acid used for chemical polishing of Ti-6Al-7Nb scaffolds on decrease of the number of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm forming cells. Herein, we tested impact of the aforementioned substances on biofilm of Gram-negative microorganism, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, dangerous pathogen responsible for plethora of implant-related infections. The Ti-6Al-7Nb scaffolds were manufactured using Selective Laser Melting method. Scaffolds were subjected to chemical polishing using a mixture of nitric acid and fluoride or left intact (control group). Pseudomonal biofilm was allowed to form on scaffolds for 24 hours and was removed by mechanical vortex shaking. The number of pseudomonal cells was estimated by means of quantitative culture and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The presence of nitric acid and fluoride on scaffold surfaces was assessed by means of IR and rentgen spetorscopy. Quantitative data were analysed using the Mann–Whitney test (P ≤ 0.05). Our results indicate that application of chemical polishing correlates with significant drop of biofilm-forming pseudomonal cells on the manufactured Ti-6Al-7Nb scaffolds ( p = 0.0133, Mann–Whitney test) compared to the number of biofilm-forming cells on non-polished scaffolds. As X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the presence of fluoride and nitrogen on the surface of scaffold, we speculate that drop of biofilm forming cells may be caused by biofilm-supressing activity of these two elements.

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań nad oceną zdolności tworzenia biofilmu szczepu bakterii P. Aeruginosa, na powierzchni próbek wyprodukowanych z lekkiego stopu magnezu - AZ31 w technologii SLM. Ilość kolonii bakteryjnych wyhodowanych w biofilnie, jest nawet 700x wyższa, w odniesieniu do skafoldów ze stopu Ti-6Al-7Nb, wyprodukowanych w tej samej technologii.

In this work, results of research on ability to form biofilm by P. Aeruginosa strains on AZ31 specimens manufactured in SLM technology are reported. The number of cells forming biofilm on specimens is even 700 times higher than on scaffolds manufactured from Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy by SLM technique.
