The approaches of developing and developed countries show wide variation, but the principles of infection prevention and control are the same globally. This study is a systematic review and global perspective of the available literature on infection...

BACKGROUND In this study morphological and molecular characterization of Acanthamoeba strains, isolated from dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) were surveyed and the levels of disinfection achievable in vitro by the application of ozone disinfectant to DUWLs were evaluate. METHODS Water samples were collected from air-water syringes, cup fillers and tap water before and at the end of the working ...

Biofouling of medical devices involves the formation of a biofilm by bacteria. The infecting bacteria produce extensive exopolysaccharides to form a confluent biofilm. Bacteria within a biofilm can be 1,000 times more resistant to antimicrobials than their planktonic counterparts and less susceptible to host immune systems. According to an estimate by the NIH (USA), about 80% of all human bacte...
