Hyperthermia Prevents In Vitro and In Vivo Biofilm Formation on Endotracheal Tubes

Hyperthermia Prevents In Vitro and In Vivo Biofilm Formation on Endotracheal Tubes

ABSTRACT There is currently an urgent need to find new strategies to tackle antimicrobial resistance and biofilm-related infections. This study has two aims. First, we evaluated the in vitro efficacy of hyperthermia in preventing biofilm formation on the surfaces of polyvinyl chloride discs. Second,...
