Infection of implanted cardiovascular biomaterials still occurs despite inherent host defense mechanisms. Using a rotating disk system, we investigated Staphylococcus epidermidis and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) adhesion to a polyetherurethane urea (PEUU-AΠ) under shear stress (0-17.5 dynes/cm
## Abstract Persistence of infection can occur when the host immune response is compromised because of the presence of a foreign implant. Surface modification of biomaterials with phospholipid polymers may enhance biocompatibility and reduce incidence of infection by impeding bacterial and leukocyt
