Article Synopsis
- Microbial biofilms are a significant risk for patients with indwelling medical devices (IMDs), making their detection vital for effective treatment.
- A study analyzed 65 prosthetic samples, identifying bacteria and assessing their antibiotic resistance, revealing that nearly 46% were biofilm producers, notably Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
- The tube adherence (TA) method was found to be a cost-effective alternative to the tissue culture plate (TCP) method for biofilm detection, with antibiotic resistance higher in biofilm producers compared to non-producers.
