However, the implant materials are carriers for bacterial growth, and biofilm can form on the implant surface, which is difficult to eliminate using antibiotics and the host immune system. Magnesium (Mg) was previously reported to possess antibacterial potential. SN - 1475-925X UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s12938-020-0755-x DO - 10.1186/s12938-020-0755-x ID - Ma2020 ER -
