Abstract
Biofilms, bacteria-protective exopolysaccharide layers, are ubiquitous in environment and can also be found in different medical indwelling devices. Biofilm formation on central venous catheters (CVCs) in many cases leads to CVC-related blood stream infections (CRBSI), which results in higher mortality rate and increased treatment costs.
The aim of our study was to investigate the CVC colonization patterns of removed catheters from patients who developed infection by applying Visualization-Combined Microbiome Detection (VCMD) method. VCDM includes fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in combination with confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) as well as sequencing based microbiome analyses.
