Biofilm Growth on Orthopaedic Cerclage Materials: Non-metallic Polymers Are Less Resistant to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Bacterial Adhesion

Data on bacterial adhesion to cerclage cables is sparse. We aimed to compare five cerclage products for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) adhesion to determine: Are non-metallic polymer cables more resistant to bacterial adhesion than common metallic wires and cables?
