Influence of retrieved hip- and knee-prosthesis biomaterials on microbial detection by sonication

Microorganisms' ability to adhere and form a biofilm differs among biomaterials; however, clinical data are conflicting. Microbial adherence and biofilm formation on different biomaterials of explanted joint prosthesis components were investigated. Consecutive patients with explanted joint pros...
