Abstract
Purpose This study investigated the efficacy of pre-conditioning lens cases on bacterial biofilm formation and removal. Methods Silver impregnated (MicroBlock / ProGuard™ & i-Clean) and control storage cases were pre-conditioned for 24 h with their respective multipurpose solutions (MPDSs). Cases were then inoculated with 2 ml of 106 CFU/mL of ocular isolates of either P. aeruginosa or S. aureus and incubated for 48 h. Cases were subsequently...
