Observing the Biofilm Matrix of Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 35984 Grown Using the CDC Biofilm Reactor
TL;DR: Results indicated that after 48 hours of growth in the reactor, S. epidermidis ATCC 35984 grown using the CDC biofilm reactor does appear to display signs of mature biofilm development, which could be important for studies wherein mature biofilms are needed for in vitro and/or in vivo applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A novel antimicrobial compound was incorporated into a silicone (polydimethylsiloxane or PDMS) polymer to develop a novel active release coating that addressed several limitations of current device coatings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of a porous-structured titanium subdermal barrier for preventing infection in percutaneous osseointegrated prostheses
TL;DR: It is concluded that osseointegrated implants incorporating porous‐coated Ti subdermal barriers may have the ability to prevent infection by maintaining a healthy, biologically attached epithelial barrier at the skin–implant interface in load‐bearing animals up to a 9‐month terminus.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Modified CDC Biofilm Reactor to Produce Mature Biofilms on the Surface of PEEK Membranes for an In Vivo Animal Model Application
TL;DR: A modified CDC biofilm reactor was developed to repeatably grow mature biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus on the surface of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) membranes for inoculation in a future animal model of orthopaedic implant biofilm-related infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using biofilms as initial inocula in animal models of biofilm‐related infections
TL;DR: A discussion is presented on the impact that a shift in biofilm research may have if initial inocula of well-established, mature biofilms are used to model biomaterial device-related infections in animal models.
