These materials are heavily used because of their bioinert nature, robust mechanical properties, and seamless integration with bone. However, implant-associated infections (IAIs) remain one of the leading causes of implant failure. Eradicating an IAI can be difficult since bacteria can form biofilms on the medical implant, protecting the bacterial cells …
