Streptococcus sp. in neonatal endotracheal tube biofilms is associated with ventilator-associated pneumonia and enhanced biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

Abstract Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a serious complication of mechanical ventilation leading to high morbidity and mortality among intubated neonates in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Endotracheal tube (ETT) biofilm flora were considered to be responsible for the occurrence of...
