摘要: The data presented in this communication demonstrate preferential colonization of certain biomaterials by Staphylococcus epidermidis. Using a laminar flow biomaterial chamber and surgical-grade (stainless steel, aluminium ceramic, methyl methacrylate high-density polyethylene), the pattern was quantitated using plate count techniques electron microscopy. Under comparable conditions, colonized S. epidermidis greater numbers than other biomaterials. Increased bacterial slime production on time-dependent 15 times higher stainless steel four polyethylene. reveal that may promote infection favouring potential pathogens. This variable should be explored extensively an vivo setting because its implication clinical infections.
