THE ANTIBIOFILM EFFECT OF A MEDICAL DEVICE (MD) CONTAINING TIAB ON MICROORGANISMS ASSOCIATED WITH SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS (SSIS)
Vol 32, Issue 4S1, 2018
Abstract
Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) are the most common nosocomial infections. Surgical suturesare optimal surfaces for bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. The most commonly isolatedmicroorganisms in SSIs are Staphyloccocus aureus (Sa), coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp.,Enterococcus spp., Escherichia coli (Ec) and other Gram-negative bacilli. The aim of this study was toevaluate the antibiofilm activity of a Medical Device (MD) containing TIAB, which is titanium dioxidelinked with monovalent silver ions.
