The interplay between bacterial biofilms, encrustation, and wall shear stress in ureteral stents: a review across scales
Ureteral stents are hollow tubes that are inserted into the ureter to maintain the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder. However, the use of these indwelling stents is associated with potential complications. Biofilm, an organized consortium of bacterial species embedded within a self-produc...
