Bacterial Adherence to Intravenous Catheters

Bacterial Adherence to Intravenous Catheters

The central venous catheterization sometimes cause mild to severe bacterial infections. We investigated the relationship between the bacterial adherence and cell surface hydrophobicity and chemical properties of the surface of catheters themselves available for clinical usage.Our studies revealed th...

Zusammenfassung:The central venous catheterization sometimes cause mild to severe bacterial infections. We investigated the relationship between the bacterial adherence and cell surface hydrophobicity and chemical properties of the surface of catheters themselves available for clinical usage.Our studies revealed that the bacterial adherence to each silicone and polyurethane catheter depended upon the hydrophobicity of bacterial outer layer (r=0.916243,p
