Adherence of bacteria to cardiac valve prostheses.
European Journal of Epidemiology 1987 September
The adherence of bacterial cells to valvular prostheses has been studied. Bacteria were selected on the basis of their surface features (fimbriae, hydrophobicity and specific receptors). It was found that only strains having fimbriae and high cell surface hydrophobicity adhered to bioprostheses, while they did not adhere to metallic prostheses to any significant extent. Adherence to bioprostheses depended on the exposure time and it was affected by the saline concentration of the suspension medium. Furthermore, different bacterial binding capacity was observed for bioprostheses from different companies.
