Although there is a direct association between the tissue reactivity of implants and their ability to potentiate infection, bacterial slime production and adherence to implant surfaces (generation of the biofilm) appear to play a primary role in the pathogenesis of most prosthesis infections.
尽管植入物的组织反应性与其增强感染的能力之间存在直接关联,但细菌黏液的产生以及对植入物表面的黏附(生物膜的形成)似乎在大多数假体感染的发病机制中起主要作用。
