Synergy between induction heating, antibiotics, and N-acetylcysteine eradicates Staphylococcus aureus from biofilm
Background Non-contact induction heating (NCIH) is a noninvasive treatment modality that can be used to cause thermal damage to bacterial biofilms on a metal implant surface in the context of a prosthetic joint infection. The purpose of this study was (1) to determine the effectiveness of NCIH on ki...
