Rapid aggregation of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> in synovial fluid is influenced by synovial fluid concentration, viscosity, and fluid dynamics-with evidence of polymer bridging
2022-02-03
Abstract excerpt
Early bacterial survival in the post-surgical joint is still a mystery. Recently, synovial fluid-induced aggregation was proposed as a potential mechanism of bacterial protection upon entry into the joint. As synovial fluid is secreted back into the joint cavity following surgery, rapid fluctuations in synovial fluid concentration, composition, and viscosity occur. These changes, along with fluid movement from pos...
