## Abstract Most infections due to implanted cardiovascular biomaterials are initiated by bacterial adhesion of __Staphylococcus epidermidis__, followed by colonization and biofilm formation on the surface of the implant. This study examined the role of serum proteins and material surface chemistry
## Abstract Laryngectomized patients use silicone rubber voice prostheses to rehabilitate their voice. However, biofilm formation limits the lifetime of voice prostheses by causing leakage or an increased airβflow resistance and the prosthesis has to be replaced. To determine which bacterial or yea
## Abstract The formation of biofilm, a structured community of bacteria enclosed in slime, is a significant virulence factor in medicalβdeviceβcentered infection. The development of cardiovascular device infection can be separated into two phases: initial bacterial adhesion and aggregation, follow
