Mechanisms of microbial colonization in biofilm-associated infections of hemodialysis catheters and advances in surface modification technologies.

SUMMARYHemodialysis catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), primarily driven by microbial colonization and biofilm formation, represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. Key pathogens such as…
