Influence of surface characteristics of implant materials on MRSA biofilm formation and effects of antimicrobial treatment

IntroductionOne of the main causes of treatment failure in bacterial prosthetic joint infections (PJI) is biofilm formation. The topography of the biofilm may be associated with susceptibility to antimicrobial treatment. The aims of this study were to assess differences in topography of biofilms on...
