This book reviews the fundamentals of biomaterials and medical device related infections and methods and materials for the treatment and prevention of infection. The first part of the book provides readers with an introduction to the topic including analyses of biofilms, diagnosis and treatment of infection, pathology and topography. The second part of the book discusses a range of established and novel technologies and materials which have been designed to prevent infection Bibliography Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index Notes Print version record Subject Biomedical materials -- Biocompatibility Biofilms.
