ORIGINAL ARTICLE Evaluation of antimicrobial activities of minocycline and rifampin-impregnated silicone surfaces in an in vitro urinary system model Ahmet Salvarci,1 Mehmet Koroglu,2 Tayfun Gurpinar3
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity in urinary catheters and silicones in antibiotic-coated prosthetic urinary systems in order to reduce morbidity and mortality caused by catheter-associated infection. Methods: The study was initiated in 1993 at Houston, USA and continued in Turkey till 1996. A sterile plastic bag was used as kidney in the in vitro urinary system. Physiological renal jet streams (50cc/h) were generated with an intravenous metric pump. The temperature was kept at body temperature. The bladder drainage was achieved at the physiological drainage period of 4-6 hours during the 72-hour experiment. Silicone surfaces coated with pure silicone and impregnated with Minocycline-Rifampin were exposed to the urine contaminated with the targeted bacteria in the in vitro urinary model for 72 hours. Antimicrobial activities occurring in the Eosin methylene blue and blood agar media in the infected silicones were assessed. Results: Minocycline-Rifampin silicone surfaces exposed to the urine contaminated with Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa reported reproduction. No reproduction was observed in the culture of MinocyclineRifampin-impregnated silicone surfaces for Proteus mirabilis. The difference with the control group was regarded as statistically significant for Proteus mirabilis (p
