A biofilm is a multilayered complex microorganism, which attached on a surface and resistant to antibiotics. In this study, we examined the cytotoxicity of the HA biomaterial coated with gentamycin on S. aureus biofilm. The microtiter plate biofilm assay and catheter-associated biofilm had been desc...
