Abstract:
Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) can form biofilms on diverse artificial surfaces. In the present study, we induced NTM biofilm formation on materials used in various medical devices, evaluated the total amount of biofilm, and observed the ultrastructure by scanning electron microscopy.
