Abstract

One of the biggest factors limiting the use of orthopaedic implants in humans is the bacterial invasion and bio-film formation on the surface of the implants. Number of patients with infection continuously increases as the number of patients requiring such implants grows. Thus, the aim of our study is to identify the antibiofilm activity of potash alum by inducing infection of S. aureus. The films were tested for antibiofilm property using biofilm assay on clinically isolated S.aureus. Biofilm formation has been induced when we used alum and methylcellulose combination. But the biofilm has been reduced when we used alum without methylcellulose.
