Overview of biofilm-related problems in medical devices / Adhesion of bacteria to surfaces and biofilm formation on medical devices / Antimicrobial resistance of biofilms in medical devices / Biofilms on dental implants / Detection of bacterial adherence and biofilm formation on medical surfaces / Alternative strategies to reduce the incidence of severe infection / P. Stoica [and three others] -- Properties of biofilms developed on medical devices / R.A. Puiu [and seven others] -- K.A. Floyed, A.R. Eberly and M. Hadjifrangiskou -- J. Malheiro and M. Sim��oes -- S. Hahnel -- Biofilm on bone repair devices / S.S. Dastgheyb, M. Otto and N.J. Hickok -- Prevention of biofilm formation by material modification / D. Ficai and A. Ficai -- M. Loza-Correa and S. Ram�irez-Arcos -- G.M. Vl�asceanu, A.M. Holban and A.M. Grumezescu.
Biofilms and Implantable Medical Devices: Infection and Control explores the increasing use of permanent and semi-permanent implants and indwelling medical devices. As an understanding of the growth and impact of biofilm formation on these medical devices and biomaterials is vital for protecting the health of the human host, this book provides readers with a comprehensive treatise on biofilms and their relationship with medical devices, also reporting on infections and associated strategies for prevention.
