OCT Detects, Assesses Bacterial Buildup on Medical Devices
OCT Detects, Assesses Bacterial Buildup on Medical Devices Researchers used optical coherence tomography in vivo to determine the presence of biofilm — bacterial growth that results from micro-organisms attaching themselves to and multiplying on synthetic surfaces. Biofilm has been linked to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a prevalent infection in intensive care units.
