Colonization of intravenous catheters by coagulase-negative staphylococci was followed by scanning electron microscopy. Regular sampling of specimens demonstrated adhesion of the staphylococci to the catheter surface followed by cell proliferation, possible breakdown of catheter components, and production of a slimy material covering the bacterial colonies. The implications of these findings with reference to nosocomial infections of prosthetic devices are discussed.
采用扫描电子显微镜观察凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌在静脉导管上的定植情况。对标本进行定期采样，结果显示葡萄球菌粘附于导管表面，随后细胞增殖，导管成分可能分解，并产生覆盖细菌菌落的粘性物质。本文讨论了这些发现对于人工装置医院感染的意义。
