Novel Antibiofilm Approach Using Bioactive Glasses F18 and 45S5 Against Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT S. aureus plays a central role in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), contributing to acute exacerbations and persistent infections through biofilm formation. With rising antibiotic resistance, bioactive glasses such as F18 and 45S5 have emerged as potential alternative antimicrobial agents. To evaluate the antimicrobial effects of F18 and 45S5 on S.
