Radiation, Nonionizing
Abstract
We tested ten experimental groups with Staph. aureus-coated washers and eight groups with Staph. epidermidis. The biofilm-cultured washers were exposed to low-energy shock waves at 0.16 mJ/mm(2) for 500 impulses. The washers were then treated with cefuroxime, rifampicin and fosfomycin, both alone an...
