Kurzbeschreibung

Biofilms are formed by microorganisms growing on surfaces and comprise a series of microcolonies interspersed with spaces through which fluids and other microor-ganisms move. Within the health arena, biofilms can be problematic for implants, including catheters, orthopaedic prosthesis, renal dialysis, and pacemakers. Bringing together an international team of contributors, this book covers the most recent information on the problems of biofilms, including how to detect them and how to control their presence.
