Biomaterials Associated Infection Immunological Aspects and Antimicrobial Strategies /

Biomaterials associated infection (BAI) is one of the most common complications associated with implantation of any biomaterial regardless of form or function. �These infections usually involve bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on the biomaterial itself, rendering the infection impervious...
