Medical Biofilms, Volume 2, Detection, Prevention and Control, |
| Editor: James T. Walker (Pathogen Microbiological Group, UK); Editor: Susanne Surman (Nottingham Public Health Laboratory, University Hospital, Nottingham); Editor: Jana Jass (Defence Research Establishment, Department of Biomedicine, Sweden) |
| Biofilms are formed by microorganisms growing on surfaces and comprise a series of microcolonies interspersed with spaces through which fluids and other microorganisms move. In medicine, the primary problems are biofilms associated with implants: infections are increasingly difficult to treat with traditional antibiotics and removal of the implant often becomes essential, frequently leading to higher morbidity and mortality. * This will be the first book dedicated to medical biofilms. * It will cover much recent information on the problems of biofilms, how to detect them and how to control their presence.
