Comparative evaluation of methods for detection of Biofilm formation in urinary catheter tips and their antibiogram
2021
Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research
A biofilm is an accumulation of microorganisms embedded in an exopolysaccharide matrix of microbial host origin called polysaccharide intracellular adhesion (PIA). They pose a significant threat to indwelling devices, causing slow persistent infections, thereby interfering with antimicrobial therapy. Objectives: This study was conducted to isolate and compare three conventional methods for the detection of Biofilm formation and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. Materials and Methods:
