Insertable cardiac monitor implantation is a simple and safe procedure commonly performed in patients with embolic stroke with undetermined source. Routine periprocedural antibiotic use is not recommended, because infection rate is very low, although som

aeruginosa and the rise in multi-drug resistance, particularly in nosocomial settings, lead to an increased risk for permanent tissue damage and potentially death. Thus, a growing need exists to develop alternative treatments to reduce both the occurrence of bacterial infection and biofilm development,...

P. aeruginosa has the ability to cause acute infection—for example, on burn wounds—as well as chronic infections, most prominently in the lungs of CF patients, where clonal infections have been shown to last decades [70,71,72,73]. The virulence factors employed across an infection event ...
