Develop an antibiofilm coating for polydimethylsiloxane (pdms) catheters by incorporating both antibacterial and antifouling properties
In modern hospitals, catheters have become indispensable as such Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) have become the most prevalent nosocomial infections. The leading cause of CAUTIs is the formation of biofilm by bacteria in catheters which are difficult to treat once they are for...
