In 2010 there has again been an increase in the number of papers published involving
piezoelectric acoustic sensors, or quartz crystal microbalances (QCM), when compared to …

The early colonization of surfaces and subsequent biofilm development have severe
impacts in environmental, industrial, and biomedical settings since they entail high costs and …

Ureteral stents are a simple, minimally invasive method of maintaining ureteral drainage to
assure renal function, treat pain caused by ureteral obstruction and avoid external or visible …

The crystalline biofilms of Proteus mirabilis can seriously complicate the care of patients
undergoing long-term indwelling urinary catheterisation. Expression of bacterial urease …

Objective: This study aims to observe the morphological characteristics of bacterial biofilm
on the surface of ureteral stents and analyze distribution characteristics of pathogens on the …

The long-term use of indwelling catheters results in a high risk from urinary tract infections
(UTI) and blockage. Blockages often occur from crystalline deposits, formed as the pH rises …

Stents and catheters are widely used in urology. In this study, the frequency of double J (DJ)
stent colonization and stent‐associated bacteriuria was investigated. Between June 2011 …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) significantly influence bacterial adhesion to solid
surfaces, but it is difficult to elucidate the role of EPS on bacterial adhesion due to their …

Controlled deposition of nanoparticles and bioparticles is necessary for their separation and
purification by chromatography, filtration, food emulsion and foam stabilization, etc …

Microbial colonization in veterinary stents poses a significant and concerning issue in
veterinary medicine. Over time, these pathogens, particularly bacteria, can colonize the stent …
