  • Title: [In vitro study of Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesiveness to suture materials].

    Abstract:
    In surgical divisions, where you can find the highest percentage of hospital infections, the surgical wounds are definitively the most frequent localization. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether bacterial-biomaterial interactions could influence the growth of infections in sutured tissues. We prepared a method for in vitro bacterial adhesiveness testing based on turbidimetric analysis. The results obtained show a different grade of bacterial adhesion in relation to physical and chemical characteristics of the material examined.
