Antibiotics are considered the most successful treatment option for bacterial infections. However, their effectiveness is reduced due to antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Thus, the choice of antimicrobials is essential to avoid bacterial resistance. Biomaterials with protection against multidrug-resistant bacteria offer a promising approach to preventing infections. Thus, the aim was to obtain multifunctional scaffolds mimicking the microstructure of trabecular bone for local delivery of non-antibiotic antimicrobials – antibacterial metal ions and bacteriophages and for bone regeneration.
