Magnesium substitution in brushite cements: Efficacy of a new biomaterial loaded with vancomycin for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infections

The “in vitro” study showed that the sustained release of vancomycin depends on the concentration of magnesium in the cement matrix. In addition, the standardized antibacterial assay revealed that the release of vancomycin from the cements may be helpful to prevent infections in bone regeneration procedures.
