Cobalt–Chromium Alloy Has Superior Antibacterial Effect Than Titanium Alloy

Abstract

Bacterial survival on titanium alloy and cobalt–chromium alloy using in vitro and in vivo experiments was evaluated. Cobalt–chromium alloy suppressed Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes proliferation compared with titanium alloy in vitro and in an in vivo infection model.
