A public health crisis is brewing with regard to hospital-acquired infections. The ability of bacterial and fungal organisms to attach and bind tightly to the surface of invasive medical devices is the root-cause of the majority of hospital-acquired infections. This research will study how bacteria and fungi interact in communities attached to medical devices, and devise strategies for their combined treatment.

与医院获得性感染有关的公共卫生危机正在酝酿之中。细菌和真菌生物在侵入性医疗设备表面附着和紧密结合的能力是大多数医院感染的根本原因。这项研究将研究细菌和真菌如何在与医疗器械相连的社区中相互作用，并制定它们的联合治疗策略。
