Staphylococcus aureus forms biofilms on indwelling medical devices using a variety of cell-surface proteins.

The ability of Candida parapsilosis to form biofilms on indwelling medical devices is correlated with virulence.

Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus are two important nosocomial pathogens that form biofilms on indwelling medical devices.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is now well established as a major nosocomial pathogen associated with infections of indwelling medical devices.

Overall, these preclinical studies suggest that NDV-3A may serve as an immunotherapeutic strategy for prevention of infections on indwelling medical devices.

These complex communities of multiple cell types form on indwelling medical devices and their eradication often requires surgical removal of infected devices.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is now amongst the most important pathogenic agents responsible for bloodstream nosocomial infections and for biofilm formation on indwelling medical devices.
