Abstract:
Direct examination of medical devices that have been foci of chronic device-related bacterial infections has shown that the causative organisms grow predominantly in slime-enclosed biofilms. These adherent biofilms are inherently resistant to host defences (antibodies, phagocytes) and to conventional antibiotic therapy. Device-related infections can be prevented by careful cleaning and sterilization of the device, and by the avoidance of any manipulations that would allow the formation of even the most rudimentary biofilm prior to implantation. Once a device-related infection has become establ

Abstract:
The results of MCSS therapy for patients with severe heart failure are improving, and there are increasing numbers of implants as device therapy enters the era of permanent use (i.e., destination therapy). Device-related infection of implanted pumps and sepsis remain important risk factors for death, and once infections are established on biomaterial surfaces they usually persist despite prolonged antimicrobial therapy. This paper covers the topic of infection in mechanical circulatory support. Methods to prevent and manage infection are described. Recent information from the field of microbio

Abstract:
Device-associated infections are responsible for about half of nosocomial infections and can cause major medical and economical sequelae. Despite adherence to basic infection control measures, which constitute the mainstay for preventing infection, infections associated with certain devices continue to exist at unacceptably high rates. Potentially-preventive, antimicrobial-utilizing strategies include systemic antibiotic prophylaxis and local administration of antimicrobial agents (antibiotics or antiseptics), which includes antimicrobial irrigation of the surgical field, placement of antimicr

Abstract:
Biofilms formed by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are among the most frequent causes of biomedical device-related infection, which are difficult to treat and are often persistent and recurrent. Thus, new and effective antibiofilm agents are urgently needed. In this article, we review the most relevant literature of the recent years reporting on promising anti-MRSA biofilm agents derived from the genus Streptomyces bacteria, and discuss the potential contribution of these newly reported antibiofilm compounds to the current strategies in preventing biofilm formation and eradicating pre-e

Abstract:
Staphylococci have various strategies for resisting therapy that extend beyond classic mechanisms. Clinical experience with device-associated infections as well as with infections due to small-colony variants (SCVs) clearly shows that both antibacterial chemotherapy and host defense mechanisms are often unable to eliminate the pathogens and cure these infections. Of particular interest is the fact that in the past few years an increasing number of various foreign body-related infections due to staphylococcal SCVs have been reported. In this overview, the characteristics of SCVs recovered from

Abstract:
Catheter-related bloodstream infections are often difficult to treat because they are caused by organisms that embed themselves in a bio film layer on the catheter surface, resulting in an increased resistance to antimicrobial agents. Systemic antibiotics are usually administered but, although generally effective in eliminating circulating bacteria, they frequently fail to sterilize the line, leaving the patient at a continuing risk of complications or recurrence. A successful approach to managing these infections requires making an appropriate decision regarding whether the catheter should be

Abstract:
A great variety of biomedical devices are used in patient care. Almost all hospitalized patients will have a vascular catheter placed to support administration of drugs, fluids, electrolytes, blood products, feeding solutions, or for haemodynamic monitoring. Many will also be exposed to urinary catheters, or tracheal tubes. There is also increasing use of a variety of prosthetic devices. Different biomedical devices have different infection associations. Examples of associations include cardiac pacemakers with Staphylococcus aureus blood-stream infection, contact lenses with amoebic keratitis,
