Which of the following statements regarding infections involving biofilms is FALSE? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following statements regarding infections involving biofilms is FALSE? It is estimated that nearly 70% of all infections are caused by biofilms. Microbes in biofilms are more resistant to antimicrobials than are independent organisms. There is no way to prevent biofilms from developing on surfaces. The majority of hospital-acquired infections (nosocomial infections) are related to biofilms.

There is no way to prevent biofilms from developing on surfaces

Explanation:

Biofilm formation is observed when free floating microorganisms adhere to a surface due to its extracellular polymers that gives it a structural matrix and promotes its adhesion.

Biofilms shield the bacteria, makes it more resistant to conventional antimicrobial treatments, and it pose a major health risk.

CHEMICAL MODIFICATIONS are the main technique for biofilm prevention on indwelling medical devices. Antibiotics, biocides, and ion coatings are the mostly employed as chemical techniques of biofilm prevention. They inhibit biofilm formation by disrupting the adhesion and increment of immature biofilms.
