More about the book
Focusing on the significant impact of biofilms in healthcare, this book explores their role in infections associated with surgical instruments and medical implants, accounting for about 70% of healthcare-related infections. It examines the challenges posed by biofilms, particularly their resistance to antibiotics, necessitating implant removal as a treatment option. The text includes in vitro models for chronic wound treatment and disinfectant efficacy against Candida sp., along with innovative strategies for biofilm infection management, such as antibiotic-infused materials and antimicrobial peptides.
