Purpose: The polymeric porous surface of fibres (PLA) may influence the kinetics of release of biologically active compounds (gentamicin, G and ethacridine lactate, R) affecting development of a bacterial biofilm. Methods: The porous fibres with different morphology were manufactured by the electrospinning method from ternary systems composed of PLA and selected solvents. Fibres morphology was examined using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), their structure was analyzed by FT-IR ATR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Changes in the drug release profile were measured using ICP/UV-Vis methods and the resulting bactericidal or bacteriostatic properties were tested by two-layer disk diffusion test in relation to various drug incorporation methods. Results: The porous fibres can be applied to produce drug-bearing membranes. The spectroscopic studies confirmed incorporation of gentamicin into the fibres and the presence of ethacridine lactate on their surface. Bimodal fibres distribution (P3) promoted faster release of gentamicin and ethacridine lactate from P3G and P3R materials. The electrospinning process coupled with the vapor induced phase separation influenced the glass transition temperature of the porous polymer fibres. The pre/post-electrospinning modification influenced the glass transition, maximum temperature of cold crystallization and melting point of the porous membrane, compared to the neat polymer. The polylactide fibres with gentamicin showed strong bactericidal effect on Gram-positive bacteria, while fibres with ethacridine lactate were bacteriostatic. Conclusions: The obtained fibres with complex surface morphology can be used as a membrane in active dressings as they make it possible to control the release profile of the active compounds.
