Microbial Biofilms: from Ecology to Molecular Genetics
Mary E. Davey,George A. O'Toole +1 more
TL;DR: The recent explosion in the field of biofilm research has led to exciting progress in the development of new technologies for studying these communities, advanced the authors' understanding of the ecological significance of surface-attached bacteria, and provided new insights into the molecular genetic basis ofBiofilm development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nosocomial infections in medical intensive care units in the United States. National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System.
TL;DR: The distribution of sites of infection in medical ICUs differed from that previously reported in NNIS ICU surveillance studies, largely as a result of anticipated low rates of surgical site infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Mauricio Valencia,Antoni Torres +1 more
TL;DR: Use of noninvasive techniques for diagnosis, new methods and strategies for prevention, and, finally, the efficacy of monotherapy and de-escalation in the treatment of VAP are discussed.
