## Abstract The formation of biofilm, a structured community of bacteria enclosed in slime, is a significant virulence factor in medicalโdeviceโcentered infection. The development of cardiovascular device infection can be separated into two phases: initial bacterial adhesion and aggregation, follow
## Abstract The __in vitro__ colonization of three commercial heart valve leaflets by __Staphylococcus aureus__ was investigated. The leaflets, made of pyrolytic carbon alloyed with or without silicon, displayed similar surface properties (wettability, roughness) and were readily colonized by __S.
## Abstract We aimed to study the influence of hydroxyapatite (HA) coating and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement on the risk of development of stainless steel implantโsite infection with __Staphylococcus epidermidis__ in a sheep model. Uncoated, HAโcoated, and PMMAโcemented stainless steel impla
Suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus were held at 50 or 60" in water, 1 M sucrose, or 0.5 M sodium chloride, and analyses were made of cellular ribonucleic acid (RNA), the content of RNA-like material in the acid-soluble (metabolic) pool and the amount of RNA-like material leaked. In sucrose and sod
