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

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.

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.

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

A range of insertion and maintenance strategies are employed to optimize device performance; however, the evidence base for many of these mechanisms is limited and the mechanisms contributing to the failure of these devices are l

A significant proportion of medical implants become the focus of a device-related infection, difficult to eradicate because bacteria that cause these infections live in well-developed biofilms.

Bacterial adherence and biofilm production proceed in two steps: first, an attachment to a surface and, second, a cell-to-cell adhesion, with pluristratification of bacteria o

In a biofilm, Staphylococcus epidermidis polymerizes poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) to form an extracellular matrix (ECM). Pseudomonas aeruginosa does not express this PNAG and has been shown to be highly susceptible to NCT. We compared the action of NCT on S. epidermidis 1457, a PNAG positive strain (SE1457) and S. epidermidis 1457- M10 an isogenic PNAG negative mutant (SE1457 M10).

Abstract:

Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) is one of the most prevalent preventable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the world. In women, C. trachomatis infection can lead to long-term complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and other related conditions such as ectopic pregnancies and even tubal factor infertility. These complications are preventable given early detection and clinical intervention, but these efforts are often hampered by asymptomatic silent infections, and non-compliance to screenings for STDs. Some women do not get tested out of concerns for violation of p

Abstract:

Abstract Background Following combat-related, extensive soft tissue injury from gunshot wounds or blasts, prolonged duration from injury to full wound closure is associated with infection, increased morbidity and mortality, failure to mobilize, poor functional outcome and increased cost. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel treatment enabling early primary closure of combat wounds. Methods This was a retrospective study of 10 soldiers and civilians with extensive combat-related soft tissue limb injuries (5 gunshot wounds, 5 blasts) treated using the TopClosure® Tension Relief Syst

Abstract:

AbstractSubmicron‐textured surfaces have been a promising approach to mitigate biofilm development and control microbial infection. However, the use of the single surface texturing approach is still far from ideal for achieving complete control of microbial infections on implanted biomedical devices. The use of a surface topographic modification that might improve the utility of standard antibiotic therapy could alleviate the complications of biofilms on devices. In this study, we characterized the biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on smooth and submicron‐textured po

Abstract Background The endotracheal tube (ETT) is an essential medical device to secure the airway patency in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation or general anesthesia. However, long-term intubation eventually leads to complete occlusion, ETTs potentiate biofilm-related infections, such as ventilator-associated pneumonia. ETTs are mainly composed of medical polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which adheres to microorganisms to form biofilms. Thus, a simple and efficient method was developed to fabricate CS-AgNPs@PAAm-Gelatin nanocomposite coating to achieve dual antibacterial and antifouling eff

Abstract:

AbstractThe integration of real‐time monitoring and on‐demand treatment has substantial potential to accelerate wound healing processes. In this context, versatile bilayer microneedles (MNs) and a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) are developed as a theranostic platform for efficient wound management. This platform provides benefits including controlling infection, promoting cell migration and proliferation, and the capability for biochemical sensing. The bilayer MNs comprise a solvable polyvinylpyrrolidone MN (pMN) affixed atop a conductive stainless‐steel MN (sMN). The robust sMN penetrates

Abstract:

Bacterial colonization of needleless injection sites (NISs) frequently results in catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). Hospitals have instituted protocols aimed at disinfecting NIS prior to access. Furthermore, several manufactures have developed devices that facilitate disinfection of NIS. Despite these steps, the incidence of CRBSI is still alarmingly high. Currently, there is no protocol or device intended to disinfect male luer connectors such as those found on IV tubing that are commonly coupled and decoupled from the NISs. Since these IV tubing connectors directly contact th

Abstract:

Abstract Tumor biopsies are an important aspect of oncology providing a guide for medical treatment and evaluation of disease progression. Highly heterogenous tumors have complex regions of active cancer cells interdigitated with necrotic tissue and healthy noncancerous tissue. The reliable access to tumor tissue pathology is therefore challenging and usually requires multiple needle insertions with accompanying patient discomfort and risk of infection. Oxygen levels provide a means of detecting and evaluating tumor tissue with levels reduced by 2-fold to 22-fold, depending on the type of orga
