Coating indwelling urinary catheters with moxifloxacin prevents biofilm formation by Burkholderia cepacia.

Background: Burkholderia cepacia adhesion and biofilm formation onto abiotic surfaces is an important feature of clinically relevant isolates. The in vitro biofilm formation of B. cepacia onto coated indwelling urinary catheters (IDCs) with moxifloxacin has not been previously investigated.
