Bacterial biofilm in chronic airway infection.
We hypothesized that bacterial biofilm formation could be an important factor that makes some infections intractable, and conducted the following study to confirm the role of bacterial biofilm in airway infection. We first microscopically examined airway surface in patients with an intractable airway infection and detected bacterial biofilms adhering to the airway surface. Most of the airway bi...
متن کاملBacterial biofilm in chronic venous ulcer.
Venous leg ulcer (VLU) is a type of chronic wound that can take a long time to heal, being the most advanced presentation of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).1 VLUs are usually recurrent, affecting work productivity, quality of life and high public health care treatment costs. It is estimated that VLUs affect up to 1% of the adult population.1 These chronic wounds are usually infected by a di...
متن کاملBacterial biofilm associated with chronic laryngitis.
OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of biofilm on the vocal fold epithelium of patients with chronic laryngitis. Bacteria can grow in biofilm protected by a glycoprotein mass. Recent studies have shown the importance of biofilm in chronic otolaryngologic infections. Because chronic laryngitis is often recurrent and occasionally purulent, we hypothesized that it is biofilm related. DESIGN Pro...
متن کاملMulti-species bacterial biofilm and intracellular infection in otitis media
BACKGROUND Bacteria which are metabolically active yet unable to be cultured and eradicated by antibiotic treatment are present in the middle ear effusion of children with chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) and recurrent acute otitis media (rAOM). These observations are suggestive of biofilm presence or intracellular sequestration of bacteria and may play a role in OM pathogenesis. The a...
