Prosthetic joint infections affect thousands of patients every year and represent a major clinical and economic burden across Europe. Microorganisms can form biofilms on implant surfaces, making infections difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics. The Nomorphil project, funded by the European Union under Horizon 2020 and coordinated by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), investigates microalgae as a source of novel antibiotic compounds capable of preventing and disrupting biofilms. Through molecular characterisation, in vitro and in vivo testing, and the development of advanced prosthesis coating technologies, Nomorphil aims to deliver innovative solutions to prevent implant-related infections and improve patient outcomes.
