Abstract:Staphylococcal biofilms significantly contribute to prosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, 40% of S. epidermidis PJI isolates do not produce biofilms, which does not explain the role of biofilms in these cases. We studied whether the supernatant from planktonic S. epidermidis alters osteoblast function. Non-biofilm-forming S. epidermidis supernatants (PJI− clinical isolate, healthy skin isolate (HS), and ATCC12228 reference strain) and biofilm-forming supernatants (PJI+ clinical isolate, ATCC35984 referenc… Show more
