Summary

This study looks at the sticky layer (biofilm) that can form on arterial catheters in intensive care patients. About 60 adults in the ICU will have their catheters examined after removal to see what types of bacteria or fungi are present and how the biofilm is structured. The goal is to better understand how biofilm leads to serious bloodstream infections, so doctors can prevent or treat them more effectively.
