Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors associated with biofilm presence on catheters in patients at a tertiary hospital.
- Data was collected from 126 patients using various microbiological techniques, showing that improper hand washing and inadequate barriers significantly contributed to biofilm formation.
- Results indicated that sonication was more effective than the roll-plate method for isolating biofilms, emphasizing the need for strict aseptic techniques to prevent biofilm development on catheters.
