Abstract

This paper reports the exploration of microfabricated bioreactors (“microreactors”), as new in vitro tools for studying the complexity of biofilm-associated infection of implantable medical devices. We designed, fabricated, and evaluated microreactors in an iterative manner to assess the feasibility of studying interactions between Staphylococcus epidermidis and osteoblasts in the presence of surfaces relevant to implantable biomaterials.
