Biofilm Formation by Clinical Isolates and its Relevance to Clinical Infections -- Biofilm-based implant infections in orthopaedics -- Clinical and Microbiological Aspects of Biofilm-Associated Surgical Site Infections -- Peri-implant infections of oral biofilm etiology -- Microbiological diversity of peri-implantitis biofilms -- Anaerobes in biofilm-based healthcare-associated infections -- Microbial biofilm development on neonatal enteral feeding tubes -- Voice prostheses, microbial colonization and biofilm formation -- Microbial composition and antibiotic resistance of biofilms recovered from endotracheal tubes of mechanically ventilated patients -- Biofilm and Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections.
The aim of this book is to provide readers with a wide overview of the main healthcare-associated infections caused by bacteria and fungi able to grow as biofilm. The recently acquired knowledge on the pivotal role played by biofilm-growing microorganisms in healthcare-related infections has given a new dynamic to detection, prevention and treatment of these infections in patients admitted to both acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities. Clinicians, hygienists and microbiologists will be updated by leading scientists on the state-of-art of biofilm-based infections and on the most innovative strategies for prevention and treatment of these infections, often caused by emerging multidrug-resistant biofilm-growing microorganisms.
