Infections associated with indwelling devices: infections related to extravascular devices.

Infection complications of indwelling extravascular devices are reviewed including endotracheal tubes, urological catheters, cerebrospinal shunts, ocular prostheses, orthopedic protheses, peritoneal dialyses catheters, and IUDs. For each device a small number of pathogens accounts for the majority of infections. For most devices, infections of host skin origin, especially coagulase negative s...

Advances in Microbial Biofilm Prevention on Indwelling Medical Devices with Emphasis on Usage of Acoustic Energy

Microbial biofilms are a major impediment to the use of indwelling medical devices, generating device-related infections with high morbidity and mortality. Major efforts directed towards preventing and eradicating the biofilm problem face difficulties because biofilms protect themselves very effectively by producing a polysaccharide coating, reducing biofilm sensitivity to antimicrobial agents....
