Understanding Biofilms

What is Biofilm?
They are substances that are formed when bacteria or fungi tries to anchor on a surface with a sticky substance and also serves as its protection from its environment and golf courses. This substance can make these micro-organisms more immune to any antibiotic or antimicrobial agents. It can be secreted into any surface. It becomes more horrendous to ponder that they can secrete this substance on living and non-living objects, like the nails, teeth, skin, and even on the dirty corners of our own home like our pipes, water, and air filters. It can even stay on …

Biofilm – Problem Areas

Biofilms affect the following problem areas:
HEALTHCARE
They cause infections directly in chronic wounds and ear infections, periodontal diseases, endocarditis, pneumonia in patients with cystic fibrosis, catheter, and implant-associated infections, and inflammatory infections (seborrheic and atopic dermatitis).
Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) are usually associated with implanted medical devices. These devices are highly susceptible to biofilm growth and infections. Other biofilm-induced HAIs come from health care environment materials and furniture like hospital …

BASIC FACT
An estimate of 700,000 people dies due to antibiotic resistance every year. It is projected that ten million people will die annually due to anti-microbial resistance (AMR) factors should there be no global response made to support AMR. This is the concern of many mothers.
Superbug Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) killed more Americans annually than those with HIV/AIDS, emphysema, Parkinson’s disease, and homicide. The technology is there to prove it.
BIOFILM IS A GLOBAL PANDEMIC
Anti-microbial resistance …
