Bacterial adherence on PE catheters inserted into the carotid artery of rabbits was assessed at 5, 30, and 240 min after injection with bacteria of five coagulase-negative staphylococci (CN Staph). These studies revealed that CN Staph adhere onto PE catheters 5 min after injection with bacteria. At 240 min after injection with bacteria almost all catheters were sterile, indicating that initially adherent bacteria on PE catheters disappear with time. EM studies revealed high numbers of platelets and leukocytes and many fibrin
