Abstract

A persistent Staphylococcus epidermidis infection in mice around a subcutaneous polyvinypyrrolidone-grafted silicon elastomer catheter (SEpvp) but not around a conventional silicon elastomer catheter was observed. With SEpvp pericatheter tissue, protracted and exaggerated interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) production was found. Apparently, sustained levels of IL-1 beta are associated with enhanced susceptibility to biomaterial-associated S. epidermidis infection.
