Ayorinde Akinbobola (2nd year PhD UWS) High level disinfection
Impact of biofilm on bacterial survival of high level disinfection and implication for endoscope reprocessing Ayorinde Akinbobola (2nd year PhD UWS) High level disinfection An endoscope is an investigative and screening device used to examine the inside of the body to diagnose or treat medical disorders Flexible endoscopes Objectives of the research Evaluate the impact of biofilm on bacterial survival following disinfection employing PAA. Elucidate mechanism of biofilm tolerance to PAA Planktonic Endoscopes disinfection failures Biofilm Biofilm in endoscopes Matteo Cavaliere and Maurizio Iemma (2015) Peracetic acid (PAA) PAA is very active against planktonic cells Biofilm showed reduced susceptibility to PAA
