The ultrastructural microbiology of 2 cases of infection associated with rigid penile prostheses was studied. The persistence of these infections appeared to be related to the mode of growth of the bacteria in protected biofilms adherent to the inert surface of the prosthesis.
对2例与硬性阴茎假体相关感染的超微结构微生物学进行了研究。这些感染的持续存在似乎与细菌在附着于假体惰性表面的受保护生物膜中的生长方式有关。
