title: [Primary study of bacterial adhesion of prosthetic valve materials].
abstract: The adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans to Dacron and pyrolite carbon was measured in vitro with plate counting. The experimental result showed: the bacterials used in the experiment have adhesion to prosthetic valve materials; the bacterials have stronger adhesion to Dacron than to Pyrolite carbon; the bacterial adhesive capacity is significantly different and is affected by mechanical and chemical nature of biomaterials; Staphylococcur aureus has the strongest adhesion to Dacron, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa has the strongest adhesion to pyrolite carbon in all bacterials.
