In vitro Evidence of Improved Antimicrobial Efficacy of Silver and Triclosan Containing Vascular Grafts Compared with Rifampicin Soaked Grafts.
CONCLUSION: For all microorganisms tested, the Synergy graft combining silver with triclosan demonstrated a more sustainable and efficient seven day antimicrobial activity than the rifampicin soaked graft. The emergence of rifampicin resistant mutants suggests preference for a Synergy graft over a graft soaked in rifampicin, to prevent or treat an infection when a biological solution is not feasible.
