“…Differences were, without exception, statistically significant (P < 0.05). The results obtained could be in agreement with multiple data which show that S. aureus is the dominant organism associated with infected metallic implants while S. epidermidis is more frequently isolated from non-metallic devices [13,33,34]. The differences observed between both S. epidermidis strains could be related to their different EPS production.…”

“…We have made use of this phenomenon to evaluate the characteristics of the adsorbed HFN layers on hydrophobic and hydrophilic Ti6Al4V substrata, as it has been shown that among many different examined serum proteins, HFN adsorbed the most to Ti6Al4V 30. The influence of HFN conformation on bacterial adhesion has been studied using two clinically relevant strains, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis , known to be responsible for most of the nosocomial infections on metallic implant surfaces and to express specific binding sites for HFN 9, 19, 31, 32…”

“…Si no se dispone de hemocultivos cuantitativos, la interpretación cualitativa de los hemocultivos siempre es controvertida dado el frecuente papel contaminante de hemocultivos de los agentes habitualmente implicados en la infección de catéter. Entre las circunstancias que apoyan que el catéter sea la fuente real de bacteriemia al utilizar hemocultivos cualitativos se encuentran el aislamiento repetido del mismo microorganismo (por lo menos 2 hemocultivos positivos para estafilococos coagulasanegativo), el crecimiento en menos de 24-48 h. desde la extracción, la presencia de signos inflamatorios en la inserción del catéter, y la ausencia de otro foco evidente productor de bacteriemia [49][50][51] . …”

“…La experiencia obtenida en los casos de infecciones producidas por levaduras, S. aureus, Bacillus spp, Corynebacterium JK y bacilos gramnegativos (fundamentalmente Pseudomonas spp y Stenotrophomonas spp) no es favorable, con un elevado índice de recidivas, muy superiores a las observadas cuando las infecciones son producidas por otros agentes, fundamentalmente por estafilococos coagulasa-negativo. Por ello, en presencia de estos agentes no es recomendable un tratamiento conservador del catéter 51,52 .…”
