Combating implant-associated infections is an urgent demand due to the increasing numbers in surgical operations such as joint replacements and dental implantations. Surface functionalization of implantable medical devices with polymeric antimicrobial and antifouling agents is an efficient strategy to prevent bacterial fouling and associated infections. In this work, antimicrobial and antifouling branched polymeric agents (GPEG and GEG) were synthesized via ring-opening reaction involving gentamicin and ethylene glycol species. Due to their rich primary amine groups, they can be readily coated on the polydopamine-modified implant (such as titanium) surfaces. The resultant surface coatings of Ti-GPEG and Ti-GEG produce excellentin vitroantibacterial efficacy toward bothStaphylococcus aureusandEscherichia coli, while Ti-GPEG exhibit better antifouling ability. Moreover, the infection model withS. aureusshows that implanted Ti-GPEG possessed excellent antibacterial and antifouling abilityin vivo. This study would provide a promising strategy for the surface functionalization of implantable medical devices to prevent implant-associated infections.
