Biofilms are etiologic agents of several infectious diseases, mainly those healthcare-associated infections. Dental-medical-hospital devices or health products, such as endotracheal tubes, present adequate conditions for biofilm formation and, consequently, the development of infections, worsening the patients' clinical condition. The impact of biofilms on health has promoted the developm…
Biofilms are complex microbial communities attached to biotic or abiotic surfaces, which are embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. Furthermore, they are etiological agents of several human infectious diseases, mainly to those Health Care Infections-related (IRAS). Medical devices, such as endotracheal tubes, have adequate conditions for biofilm formation and, conseq…
