Inhibition of Adherence and Biofilm Formation of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> by Immobilized ZnO Nanoparticles on Silicone Urinary Catheter Grafted by Gamma Irradiation

Inhibition of Adherence and Biofilm Formation of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> by Immobilized ZnO Nanoparticles on Silicone Urinary Catheter Grafted by Gamma Irradiation

Nosocomial infections caused by microbial biofilm formation on biomaterial surfaces such as urinary catheters are complicated by antibiotic resistance, representing a common problem in hospitalized patients. Therefore, we aimed to modify silicone catheters to resist microbial adherence and biofilm f...
