Biofilms on medical devices.

Home healthcare nurse - 1 Oct 2007

Talsma Silke S

Abstract excerpt

Biofilm consists of microorganisms with altered phenotypes living in a self-organized, cooperative community attached to surfaces and each other and embedded in a self-produced matrix of exopolymer saccharides. Biofilms are relevant for home care and hospice clinicians because they are related to the majority of infectious diseases. Colonization of medical devices plays a key role in the problem of...
