Adhesion of a Staphylococcus aureus strain to biomaterials does not select methicillin-resistant mutants.

The new microbiologica - 1 Jan 2001

Montanaro L, Cavedagna D, Baldassarri L, Arciola C R

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial adhesion to polymethylmethacrylate and to silicon elastomer, materials frequently used in clinical applications, has been investigated to assess whether adhesion selects methicillin-resistant mutants in the bacterial population in contact with the materials. The methicillin susceptibility of a susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) was measured by a modification of plate antibiogram Kirby-Bauer...
