Rapid Aggregation of Staphylococcus aureus in Synovial Fluid Is Influenced by Synovial Fluid Concentration, Viscosity, and Fluid Dynamics, with Evidence of Polymer Bridging

Rapid Aggregation of Staphylococcus aureus in Synovial Fluid Is Influenced by Synovial Fluid Concentration, Viscosity, and Fluid Dynamics, with Evidence of Polymer Bridging

ABSTRACT Early bacterial survival in the postsurgical joint is still a mystery. Recently, synovial fluid-induced aggregation was proposed as a potential mechanism of bacterial protection upon entry into the joint. As synovial fluid is secreted back into the joint cavity following surgery, rapid fluc...
