摘要：

In an in vitro study, we have quantitatively evaluated the capability of seven different types of silicone to retain a Staphylococcus aureus strain, isolated from a surgical wound. All the silicone specimens were taken from prostheses already used in plastic or ophthalmological surgery. Two polymers were used as controls: polystyrene, because of its known capability to favour in vitro bacterial recovery, and nylon, for its bacterial repellence. The results show that all silicones are suitable substrata for Staphylococcus aureus. However, there are some differences among silicone types. The amounts of bacteria retained from silicone oils are greater than or equal to those obtained from the positive control material.
