Abstract: Chemotherapeutic agents have been used as an adjunct to mechanical debridement for peri-implantitis treatment. The present in vitro study evaluated and compared the effectiveness of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and chlorhexidine (CHX) at eliminating Gram-negative (E. coli and P. gingivalis) and Gram-positive (E. faecalis and S. sanguinis) bacteria. The effect of irrigating volume and exposure time on the antimicrobial efficacy of HOCl was evaluated, and a durability analysis was completed. Live/dead staining, morphology observation, alamarBlue assay, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) detection were examined on grit-blasted and biofilm-contaminated titanium alloy discs after treatment with the three chemotherapeutic agents. The results indicated that HOCl exhibited better antibacterial efficacy with increasing irrigating volumes. HOCl achieved greater antibacterial efficacy as treatment time was increased. A decrease in antimicrobial effectiveness was observed when HOCl was unsealed and left in contact with the air. All the irrigants showed antibacterial activity and killed the majority of bacteria on the titanium alloy surfaces of biofilm-contaminated implants. Moreover, HOCl significantly lowered the LPS concentration of P. gingivalis when compared with NaOCl and CHX. Thus, a HOCl antiseptic may be effective for cleaning biofilm-contaminated implant surfaces.

Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates cellular responses to inflammation and aging, and alterations in NF-κB signaling underlie the pathogenesis of multiple human diseases. Effective clinical therapeutics targeting this pathway remain unavailable. In primary human keratinocytes, we found that hypochlorite (HOCl) reversibly inhibited the expression of CCL2 and SOD2, two NF-κB–dependent genes. In cultured cells, HOCl inhibited the activity of inhibitor of NF-κB kinase (IKK), a key regulator of NF-κB activation, by oxidizing cysteine residues Cys114 and Cys115. In NF-κB reporter mice, topical HOCl reduced LPS-induced NF-κB signaling in skin. We further evaluated topical HOCl use in two mouse models of NF-κB–driven epidermal disease. For mice with acute radiation dermatitis, topical HOCl inhibited the expression of NF-κB–dependent genes, decreased disease severity, and prevented skin ulceration. In aged mice, topical HOCl attenuated age-dependent production of p16INK4a and expression of the DNA repair gene Rad50. Additionally, skin of aged HOCl-treated mice acquired enhanced epidermal thickness and proliferation, comparable to skin in juvenile animals. These data suggest that topical HOCl reduces NF-κB–mediated epidermal pathology in radiation dermatitis and skin aging through IKK modulation and motivate the exploration of HOCl use for clinical aims.

ABSTRACT

Biofilms are a key driver of chronicity and treatment failure in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), yet clinical evidence quantifying their impact and management remains fragmented. This systematic narrative review synthesised recent evidence (2015–2025) on the prevalence, diagnostics, and management of biofilm in DFUs. A Systematic Review of the Literature (SRL) was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Library and ScienceDirect. Eligible studies included adults with DFUs reporting biofilm/bioburden metrics or interventions aimed at biofilm disruption. Risk of bias was assessed using RoB 2 for randomised trials and ROBINS-I for non-randomised studies. Data were narratively synthesised by evidence tier (Tier 1=clinical; Tier 2=preclinical/mechanistic). Of 600 records screened, 25 studies met inclusion criteria (Tier 1 n=9; Tier 2 n=5; reviews n=11). Over half of bacterial isolates in DFUs were biofilm producers, with multidrug resistance exceeding 90% in several cohorts. Fungi were detected in 31% of ulcers by qPCR but only 9% by culture. Tier 1 clinical evidence supports standard care components—debridement, antiseptics, and negative-pressure wound therapy—for improved healing, though direct anti-biofilm outcomes remain limited. Emerging strategies (enzymatic agents, peptides, cold plasma, smart dressings) show promise in vitro but lack clinical translation. Evidence for direct antibiofilm efficacy in DFUs remains scarce. Current data justify maintaining guideline-based care while prioritising trials that integrate validated biofilm endpoints, standardised microbiological methods, and antifungal components. Distinguishing established from experimental approaches is essential to advancing safe, evidence-based biofilm management in DFUs.
