Abstract:
Approximately 10% of all hospital patients contract infections from temporary clinical implants such as urinal and vascular catheters or tracheal tubes. The ensuing complications reach from patient inconvenience and tissue inflammation to severe, life threatening complications such as pneumonia or bacteremia. All these device‐associated nosocomial infections have the same origin: biofouling, i.e., the unwanted deposition of proteins, bacteria, and cells onto the device. To date, most strategies...     »
