- •
The use of cobalt chrome (CoCr) implants in spinal surgery has become increasingly popular.
- •
Biofilm formation on CoCr and titanium-alloy implants has not been studied.
- •
After incubation, optical density and colony forming units were calculated.
- •
CoCr had a higher proclivity towards biofilm formation compared to titanium-alloy.
