<p>By Capt. Jonathan M. Stahl, DC, Naval Medical Research Unit-San<br>Antonio<br><br>One goal of NAMRU-SA’s  current research efforts is to determine the clinical suitability of antibiotic impregnated cranial implants by evaluating their antimicrobial and mechanical properties. In our current study, the antimicrobial effectiveness of varying classes of antibiotics are being evaluated against microbial pathogens including multi-drug<br>resistant pathogenic bacteria such methicillin-resistant Streptococcus aureus, good candidates will then be incorporated into PMMA for characterization.<br></p>
