چکیده

background and objectives: biomaterials are widely used in medical devices such as urinary catheters. one of the main problems associated with long term using of the urinary catheters is biofilm formation on their surfaces. many techniques have been presented to reduce the biofilm formation. one of the most revolutionary techniques allowing such surface fictionalization is plasma surface modification. materials and methods: in this study, a glow discharge plasma (gdp) effect on escherichia coli biofilm formation on the surface of urinary catheter in the pressure of 1.6 × 10-1 torr of nitrogen, discharge voltage about 1.2 kv and current of 150 ma for 20 minutes has been investigated. crystal violet binding assay and sonication method were performed in order to evaluate the amount of biofilm formation on tested biomaterials. results: characterization of modified surfaces by attenuated total reflectance fourier transform infrared spectrometry (atr-ftir) and atomic force microscopy (afm) revealed a noticeable change in hydrophobicity and roughness of catheter surfaces achieved by nitrogen plasma. the results of crystal violet binding assay and sonication method showed that the amount of biofilm formation on modified surface was about 86% less than the pristine sample. conclusion: plasma surface modification can reduce the risk of infections in patients with long-term use of urinary catheters.

Resistance patterns of Escherichia coli causing urinary tract infection

 Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases and Escherichia coli is its common cause. The aim of this study was to assess the resistance patterns of E.coli in urinary tract infections and to determine the susceptibility of E.coli to commonly used antimicrobials and also to evaluate the options for empirical treatment of UTI. Methods: This stud...

Siderophore vaccine conjugates protect against uropathogenic Escherichia coli urinary tract infection.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the primary cause of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Whereas most infections are isolated cases, 1 in 40 women experience recurrent UTIs. The rise in antibiotic resistance has complicated the management of chronic UTIs and necessitates new preventative strategies. Currently, no UTI vaccines are approved for use in the United States, and th...

A New Approach to Provide High Water Permeable Polyethersulfone based Nanofiltration Membrane by Air Plasma Treatment

In this study, polyethersulfone based nanofiltration membranes were modified by air plasma generated through dielectric barrier discharge to increase the membrane hydrophilicity aiming to improve the separation and antifouling characteristics. The effect of plasma time on the physico-chemical and separation properties of membrane was investigated. The PES nanofiltration membranes were fabricate...
