Role of biofilm in Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis ventricular assist device driveline infections.

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery - 1 May 2011

Toba Faustino A, Akashi Hirokazu, Arrecubieta Carlos, Lowy Franklin D

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Infections, especially those involving drivelines, are among the most serious complications that follow ventricular assist device implantation. Staphylococci are the most common causes of these infections. Once driveline infections are established, they can remain localized or progress as an ascending infection to cause metastatic seeding of other tissue sites. Although elaboration of biofilm appears...
