A RAT MODEL OF POLYPROPYLENE GRAFT INFECTION CAUSED BY STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS

Abstract

Incubation of polypropylene grafts with slime-producing S. epidermidis for 2 and 24 h in the pre-application period achieved the occurrence of a standardized graft infection. Prophylactic use of teicoplanin and rifampicin decreased the infection rates. We propose to use this reproducible and reliable animal model of graft infection in future studies.

Comparison of the adherence of E.Coli and S. Aureus to ten different prosthetic mesh grafts: In vitro experimental study

“…ePTFE is more hydrophobic and less porous than polypropylene [26]. The deformation of the internodal filaments and creation of fissures in the ePTFE microstructure by the bacteria increases bacterial attachment [17,26]. It has been reported that microorganisms adhere to and penetrate between the internodal filaments of PTFE, altering its internal structure.…”

“…The surface free energy of ePTFE may be related to the difference observed. ePTFE is more hydrophobic and less porous than polypropylene [26]. The deformation of the internodal filaments and creation of fissures in the ePTFE microstructure by the bacteria increases bacterial attachment [17,26].…”
