Abstract

We are developing electrical approaches to treat biofilm-associated orthopedic foreign-body infection. Although we have previously shown that such approaches have antibiofilm activity, the effects on bone have not been assessed. Herein, low-amperage 200 μA fixed direct current (DC) was compared with no current, in a rat femoral foreign-body infection model. In the infected group, a platinum implant seeded with
