How Easily Bacteria Clog the Medical Devices…!!
As a
result of the study How Bacteria Clog Medical Devices, it is found
that the microbes join to create slimy ribbons that tangle and trap
other passing bacteria, creating a full block-age in a startlingly
short period of time.
Using
time-lapse imaging, researchers at Princeton University monitored
fluid flow in narrow tubes or pores. Over a period of about 40
hours, researchers observed that some of the microbes - dyed green
for visibility - attached to the inner wall of the tube and began to
multiply, eventually forming a slimy coating called a Biofilm. These
films consist of thousands of individual cells held together by a
sort of biological glue. Over next several hours, the researchers
sent additional microbes, dyed red, into the tube. These red cells
became stuck to the biofilm-coated walls, where the force of the
flowing liquid shaped the trapped cells into streamers that rippled
in the liquid like flags rippling in a breeze. During this time, the
fluid flow slowed only slightly.
At about 55 hours into the experiment, the biofilm streamers tangled
with each other, forming a net-like barrier that trapped additional
bacterial cells, creating a larger barrier which in turn ensnared
more cells. Within an hour, the entire tube became blocked and the
fluid flow stopped.
