✦ Synopsis


I n vitro adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis to cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive surfaces was investigated by employing a modified Robbins device. Bacterial colonization of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive polymer surfaces was demonstrated by employing scanning electron microscopy, epifluorescence technique, and aerobic plate counts. The S. epidermidis was found to rapidly colonize the ti-butyl-2- cyanoacrylate polymer surface producing a biofilm composed of embedded bacteria in a n extensive amorphous matrix that totally occludes the material surface. The results indicate that the bacteriocidal properties of the polymer to this bacteria are weak or absent.
