Bacterial biofilm formation is variably inhibited by different formulations of antibiotic-loaded bone cement in vitro

摘要

Purpose The aim of the present study was to quantitatively assess biofilm growth on the surface of bone cements discs containing different antibiotics, including colistin and linezolid. Biofilms of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus epidermidis were grown on bone cement discs for 96 h.
