That’s not a rounding error. That’s a systemic problem.
Encrustation plays a direct role: mineral deposits on stent and catheter surfaces create the ideal scaffold for biofilm — and biofilms are far more resistant to antibiotics than free-floating bacteria.
Tackling infection without addressing encrustation only solves half the problem.
Our new white paper breaks down the global burden, the biology, and what effective in vitro testing looks like for manufacturers developing the next generation of coatings.
