Adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to untreated and oxygen-plasma treated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) from endotracheal intubation devices
Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia is a life threatening complication in mechanically ventilated patients that requires the ability of the bacteria to adhere to, and colonize the endotracheal intubation device. New strategies to prevent or reduce these nosoc ...
2003Surface modification of PVC endotracheal tubes by oxygen glow discharge to reduce bacterial adhesion
A d.c. oxygen glow discharge was used to modify medical-grade poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) to study how surface chemistry and hydrophilicity influence Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion. The effects of plasma exposure time on the resulting surface, including ch ...
