PREVENTION for Infection Control
Superior Infection Control starts with DETECTION
Why are biofilms an issue?
Medical Devices
are subjected to contamination by biofilms.
Cleaning is crucial
It is impossible to disinfect or even sterilize inadequately-cleaned medical devices.4
Tolerance x1000
Bacteria are up to 1000x more tolerant to biocides if in a biofilm. ⁷
Resistance
is favored inside biofilms due to horizontal transfer of genes carrying antibiotics-resistance. ⁵
BIOFILMS IN BRIEF
-
Most biofilms are multi-species. Even non biofilm-forming microbes can be sheltered in a biofilm (incl. multi-drug resistant bacteria like MRSA, CRE, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Legionella, E. coli, Viruses and Fungi). ⁶
-
Biofilms develop frequently on Medical Devices.
-
Horizontal transfer of genes carrying antiobiotics-resistance is favored inside biofilms. ⁸
-
Biofilms form a protective barrier around infectious micro-organisms and enhance survival of exposure to antimicrobials.
-
Inorganic and organic materials interfere with the effectiveness of disinfectants and sterilization.³
-
Disinfectants are mostly tested against planktonic (free) bacteria, although 99% of bacteria naturally exist in a biofilm.
