Abstract

There was no significant difference in bacterial adhesion between the 3 bone graft types tested, regardless of the bacterial strain used (p > 0.22). After 72 hours of culture, there was no significant difference between the Fresh and Frozen bone groups, while the number of CFU in the Decellularised group was significantly lower (p < 0.01), averaging -0.72 +/- 0.08 lg, -0.20 +/- 0.01 lg and -0.78 +/- 0.48 lg with S. epidermidis, S. aureus and E. coli respectively. Absolute values differences are low, and considering fresh bone (equivalent to autograft) as the gold standard due to its low infection rates in clinical studies, we can conclude that adhesion and biolfilm development characteristics are similar between Fresh, Frozen and Decellularised bone grafts..
