Backgrounds
Hospital acquired infections are of major concern since they contribute to an increase in hospital staying time, mobility and mortality. Most of these infections are medical devices related where biofilm formation plays an important role. Silicone catheters usage is pointed out as a frequent leading cause of hospital acquired infection.. The access to the whole abstract and if available the presentation file is available to FIP members and to congress participants of that specific congress.
