Characterization of microbial presence at the surface of silicone mammary implants.
The purpose of this project was to examine the incidence of microbial presence on the surface of mammary implants and its correlation with clinical presentation. The significance of microbial presence without signs of overt infection is que…

Fibroblast behavior in vitro is unaltered by products of staphylococci cultured from silicone implants.
Our previous clinical study supported the concept that capsular contracture is associated with subclinical infection of silicone implants. If bacterial presence, indeed, contributes to capsular contracture, then fibroblast behavior might be…

Subclinical infection of the silicone breast implant surface as a possible cause of capsular contracture.
In order to reexamine the possible association between bacterial presence and capsular contracture, 55 silicone devices (mammary implants or tissue expanders) were cultured at the time of their removal from 40 patients. Special culture tech…
