Agar diffusion test with unloaded and rifampicin-loaded microspheres.

Notes: Investigation of the antibacterial effect of rifampicin-loaded microsphere (Aii) in comparison with the unloaded microsphere (Ai). The inhibition zone around the rifampicin-loaded microsphere amounts to 14 mm. Agar diffusion test with rifampicin-loaded microspheres–coated mesh implant discs (B), performed to investigate the antibacterial efficiency over 30 days. The inhibition zones vary between 15 mm after one day and 1 mm after 30 days.
