Abstract
The results suggest that cefuroxime, teicoplanin, and vancomycin significantly inhibit bacterial adherence to IOLs. The effect of cefuroxime on adherence inhibition was significantly higher than that of teicoplanin and vancomycin. Bacterial adherence is an important factor in bacterial virulence. Antibiotics, especially cefuroxime, can successfully inhibit bacterial adherence.
