The transport of bacteria and spreading of infection by suture materials was studied. An in vitro experiment showed that immobile bacteria can propagate inside multifilament materials. The spreading was correlated to the capillary properties of the threads. A similar result was obtained in an in vivo study in the muscle of the rat. The bacterial transport inside the thread was found to be of significantly greater importance for the spreading of wound infection than that on the surface of the material.
研究了缝合材料对细菌的运输及感染传播情况。一项体外实验表明，静止的细菌能够在多丝材料内部繁殖。这种传播与缝线的毛细管特性相关。在大鼠肌肉的体内研究中也得到了类似结果。结果发现，缝线内部的细菌运输对伤口感染传播的重要性显著高于材料表面的细菌运输。
