The use of medical implants continues to grow as the population ages. Biofilm-related
implant infection is the leading cause of medical implant failure and remains difficult to …

The spread of biofilms on medical implants represents one of the principal triggers of
persistent and chronic infections in clinical settings, and it has been the subject of many …

Biofilms are complex tri-dimensional structures that encase microbial cells in an extracellular
matrix comprising self-produced polymeric substances. The matrix rich in extracellular …

Understanding the microbiological profiles of peri-implant conditions is crucial for
developing effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. This narrative review analyzes …

Implant-associated infections are characterized by microbial biofilm formation on implant
surface, which renders the microbiological diagnosis challenging and requires, in the …

Bacterial biofilms, enigmatic communities of microorganisms enclosed in an extracellular
matrix, still represent an open challenge in many clinical contexts, including orthopedics …

Although much work is being done to develop new treatments, research and knowledge
regarding factors underlying implant‐related microbial colonization leading to infection are …

Few molecular studies have shown that the number of bacterial species in implant-
associated infection may have been underestimated. To determine the actual microbial …

Prosthetics increase the risk of deep surgical site infections in procedures intended to
restore function. In orthopaedics, prosthetic joint infections can lead to repetitive surgeries …

Biomedical implants are crucial in providing support and functionality to patients with
missing or defective body parts. However, implants carry an inherent risk of bacterial …
