Abstract

We measured the formation of a Staphylococcus aureus biofilm in vitro on unloaded and gentamicin-loaded bone cements (CMW3 and Palacos R) and related the formation to antibiotic release rates. All experiments were done in triplicate. Microbial growth on gentamicin-loaded cements occurred despite the release of antibiotic. Biofilm formation on gentamicin loaded CMW3 bone cement was one fourth to one fifth less than on the unloaded bone cement, while biofilm formation on Palacos R bone cement was not significantly affected by antibiotic loading. More gentamicin was released from CMW3 (79 mg) than from Palacos R (70 mg), but the percentage gentamicin released after one week relative to the total amount incorporated was significantly lower for CMW3 (4.7%) than for Palacos R (8.4%). After one day, subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics were eluted from the cements. We concluded that antibiotic-loaded bone cement does not necessarily inhibit the formation of an infectious biofilm in vitro.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
