Biofilm formation is one of the primary reasons for the difficulty in treating implant-related infections (IRIs). Focused high-energy extracorporeal shockwave therapy (fhESWT), which is a treatment modality for fracture nonunions, has been shown to have a direct antibacterial effect on planktonic bacteria. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of fhESWT on Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in vitro in the presence and absence of antibiotic agents.

体外聚焦高能体外冲击波和抗生素的抗生物膜功效。

生物膜形成是难以治疗植入物相关感染（IRI）的主要原因之一。聚焦高能体外冲击波疗法（fhESWT）是骨折不愈合的一种治疗方法，已显示对浮游细菌具有直接的抗菌作用。本研究的目的是研究在存在和不存在抗生素的情况下，fhESWT对金黄色葡萄球菌生物膜的影响。
