Morphological characteristics of an experimental catheter-associated infection following immunosuppression and the use of a low-molecular cationic peptide of the lantibiotic family – warnerin
Abstract:Introduction. Catheter-associated infection is caused by microorganism colonization of the surface of the implanted catheter with a biofilm formation that significantly increases their resistance to antiseptics and antibiotics, especially in immunosuppression. Low-molecular antibacterial peptides are compounds capable of combating biofilm formation. The aim of the study was to describe morphological characteristics of a catheter-associated infection model on laboratory mice secondary to immunosuppression and t… Show more
