Abstrakt: The effect of zinc oxide on S. aureus (209 P) was studied in steel net tissue cages implanted subcutane ously in guinea pigs and rabbits. Zinc oxide installed in the tissue cages created high, sustained concentrations of zinc in the cage fluid throughout the study. In a concentration of 22 mmol/l zinc oxide reduced viable counts in tissue cage fluid inoculated with S. aureus. No deleterious effect was observed on polymorphonuclear cell function.
