Abstract
We studied the effects of in vitro and in vivo coating of catheters with human blood proteins on binding of coagulase-negative staphylococci. Coating resulted in no enhancement of binding. Catheters coated in vitro bound fewer organisms than uncoated catheters. Host proteins do not enhance adherence of coagulase-negative staphylococci to biomaterials.Entities:
