Characteristic cell morphologies of MRSP biofilms and its surface coverage on titanium orthopaedic screws. The effect of fosfomycin against MRSP A12 strain on titanium orthopaedic screws was assessed microscopically. Scanning electron micrographs of 4 and 24 h old MRSP biofilms on orthopaedic screws are shown without (A), (C) and treated with fosfomycin (B), (D) respectively. The biofilm cells embedded in biofilm extracellular matrix is indicated by the arrows in the control samples.
