Sommario/riassunto

"The well-known persistence in the nosocomial environment of multidrug resistant bacterial and fungal species, today responsible for a wide variety of healthcare-associated infections, is believed to be greatly promoted by the ability of most of them to adhere and to grow in sessile mode on mucosal and soft tissues of hospitalized patients, as well as on the inner and outer surfaces of indwelling medical devices, including intravenous catheters, orthopaedic, cardiac valves, intrauterine devices, and contact lenses... The aim of this Special Issue is to report on the state-of-art of the basic and applied research in the field of biofilm-based nosocomial infections that can be acquired by patients in both general hospitals and long-term care settings. Particularly, the involvement of microbial biofilms in medical device-related infections and other healthcare-associated infections, so far underestimated and/or scarcely investigated, has been considered, reviewed, and discussed." -- Preface.
