Short summary
Currently, there is no method available to reload antibiotic carriers to treat late bone infections or to prevent bacterial attachment. We propose a novel method to load and protect a biphasic calcium sulfate/hydroxyapatite (CaS/HA) carrier material from bacterial re-population by systemically administering a clinical dose of HA-seeking antibiotic rifampicin (RIF). CaS/HA-based carriers could recruit HA-seeking RIF to locally exert an adequate antibacterial effect at the targeted tissue.
