First seen May 02, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at the sticky layer of germs (biofilm) that forms on central venous catheters in intensive care patients. Researchers will measure how much biofilm is on the inside and outside of removed catheters from 150 adults. The goal is to learn more about these infections so better prevention methods can be developed.
