AI Article Synopsis
- Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) are capable of creating biofilms on a variety of artificial surfaces, including those found in medical devices.
- The study focused on inducing biofilm formation by NTM on these materials and measuring the overall amount of biofilm created.
- Additionally, the researchers utilized scanning electron microscopy to examine the fine structure of the biofilms formed.
Article Abstract
Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) can form biofilms on diverse artificial surfaces. In the present study, we induced NTM biofilm formation on materials used in various medical devices, evaluated the total amount of biofilm, and observed the ultrastructure by scanning electron microscopy.
