Summary:Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen of major clinical interest for its high prevalence in biomaterial‐related infections. This experimental study provides the first evidence in vitro that bioactive glass‐ceramic scaffolds made from both 45S5 Bioglass® and from boron containing bioactive glass (45S5.2B) as well as their ionic dissolution products do no exhibit antibacterial effect against several strains of S. aureus.
