A comparison of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on commonly used orthopaedic metal implant materials: An In vitro study
Conclusion: Cobalt-chromium was observed to have the lowest proclivity towards bacterial adherence compared to the other biomaterials tested. However, bacterial adhesion occurred with all the materials. Hence, it is necessary to further evaluate newer biomaterials that are resistant to bacterial adherence.
