AB  - The risk of bacterial infections is a significant challenge faced frequently in the use of implants or scaffolds for bone regeneration. Therefore, this study focusses on the development and characterisation of novel β tricalcium phosphate (βTCP) scaffolds co-doped with silver and silicon, along with composites coated with antibiotic-loaded poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) layers. The successful incorporation of silver and silicon dopants while maintaining the formation of βTCP phase was confirmed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) analysis. The developed materials demonstrated comparable total and open porosity (∼64–70 vol%), suggesting high interconnectivity between pores conducive to nutrient transport and tissue repair. The increase in compressive strength was achieved for both doped (4.73 ± 0.79 MPa) and P(3HB) coated (5.79 ± 0.92 MPa) scaffolds due to the fine bioceramic microstructure and polymeric coating. Silver and silicon-modified βTCP demonstrated enhanced growth inhibition of Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacterial strains in vitro compared to the pure βTCP. P(3HB) coatings, enriched with gentamicin or ceftazidime, exhibited burst and sustained release of the antibiotics from the scaffolds up to 120 h further intensifying the bacteria-killing capability, with evident inhibition zones observed in vitro. Moreover, the composites exhibited apatite-forming ability, suggesting their bioactive potential. In vivo evaluation using Caenorhabditis elegans demonstrated the lack of toxicity of the tested materials. The simultaneous incorporation of the dopants and antibiotic-loaded P(3HB) coatings not only offer a dual antibacterial approach but may also facilitate bone regeneration. However, further in vitro and in vivo investigations are needed to assess their potential in clinical application.
