“…However, overuse of antibiotics in medicine promoted the evolution of some species of bacteria to infer resistance. These include the Methicillin resistant S.aureus (MRSA) and S. epidermidis (MRSE) strains which are responsible for a considerable amount of hospital acquired infections [33][34][35]. The primary reason for increased usage of antibiotics in implant related infections is that bacteria change their biological behavior when adhering to implant surfaces [2].…”

“…Usually, antibiotics are the main tools to fight infection. A valuable method to avoid infection is to reduce bacterial adhesion on implant by the control of the fixation surfaces topography and chemistry (Harris and Richards, 2006). The use of degradable polymers has been proposed for the coating of titanium plates and the local release of loaded antibiotic and antiseptic in a controlled fashion.…”

“…Device-related staphylococcal infections are difficult to eradicate and treat clinically (5) because bacteria in the biofilm are protected from antimicrobial agents and the host immune system (6). Prolonged antibiotic therapy and device removal can be required to resolve the infection (5).…”
