Healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) pose significant challenges in medical settings due to their resistance to conventional treatment methods. The role of bacterial biofilms in exacerbating these infections is well-documented, making HAIs particularly difficult to eradicate. Despite numerous research efforts, an effective solution to combat these infections remains elusive. This study aims to explore the potential of metal-ion (copper and zinc) doped borate bioactive glasses (BBGs) as a novel treatment modality to inhibit bacterial species commonly implicated in HAIs:
