Development and characterisation of novel anti-infective endotracheal tube biomaterials
Nosocomial infection, including ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) affects more than 1 million people each year. The first step in VAP is colonization of the endotracheal tube; prevention of which has failed using traditional approaches such as antibiotic prophylaxis. This work looks at the devel...
