We aimed (1) to compare the adherence of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans with virgin (untreated) UHMWPE (PE) and crosslinked UHMWPE (XLPE); (2) to correlate the results with the biomaterial surface properties; and (3) to determine whether the decreased adhesion on vitamin E-stabilized UHMWPE (VE-PE) previously recorded for bacteria can also be confirmed for C albicans.
