- Abstract
- Infections are one of the most prevalent complications associated with orthopedic
implant surgeries. The rise of multidrug resistant bacteria intensifies the risk of serious
complications resulting from infection, as these bacteria cannot be fought with traditional
noninvasive treatments. A. baumannii is a nosocomial, multidrug-resistant bacteria
originating in military field hospitals and has since spread to civilian hospitals, where it
threatens immunocompromised patients. The objective of this study is to assess the adherence
and proliferation of multidrug-resistant A. baumanii with varying concentrations of
antimicrobial, silver-doped titanium dioxide-PDMS.
