摘要
A study was performed to assess whether a model of vascular graft infection could be established in sheep carotid artery. Either a protein sealed Dacron or a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTEE) graft was used in 22 sheep while a control operation was performed on 4 animals. Staphylococcus aureus in concentrations of 102, 104, 106 or 108 colony‐forming units (CFU) was inoculated into the wound before closure. No infection occurred with an inoculum of 102. The lowest concentration of organism producing infection was 104 for PTEE, 106 for Dacron and 108 for controls. Six of eleven Dacron grafts and seven of ten PTFE grafts became infected. The sheep carotid artery has proven a satisfactory model for studies of vascular graft infection. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
