Скачать или смотреть FDA Grand Rounds - Anti biofilm Technologies for Enhancing the Safety of Medical Device Surfaces

Dr. Jayaleka Amarasinghe from FDA's Winchester Engineering and Analytical Center presents groundbreaking research on combating biofilm-related infections on medical devices. Learn about two innovative approaches: electrical stimulation to disrupt nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) biofilms on stainless steel surfaces, and gold nanorod-coated titanium surfaces using photothermal therapy against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. Dr. Nair Singh discusses the public health impact of device-associated biofilms, which contribute to over 60% of healthcare-associated infections, and explores antimicrobial-free strategies to enhance medical device safety. This presentation covers the challenges of biofilm resistance, emerging technologies, and WEAC's regulatory science approach to evaluating novel anti-biofilm strategies.
