Bioactive glass S53P4 eradicates Staphylococcus aureus in biofilm/planktonic states in  vitro.

Conclusion: Direct exposure to BAG granules, or primed supernatant fluid, effectively eradicated S. aureus in biofilm. The anti-biofilm effect is time- and concentration-dependent. When BAG had reached its full antimicrobial effect, ciprofloxacin had no additional effect.
