Treatment of medical device-related infections is challenging, and recurrence is common. The main reason for this is that microorganisms adhere to the surfaces of medical devices, and enter into a biofilm state in which they display distinct growth rates, structural features, and protection from antimicrobial agents and host immune mechanisms compared with their planktonic counterparts. This article reviews how microorganisms form biofilms and mechanisms of protection against antimicrobial agents and the host immune system provided by biofilms. Also discussed are innovative strategies for diagnosis of biofilm-associated infection, and novel approaches to treatment and prevention of medical device-associated infections.
