What is A Review on Antimicrobial Strategies in Mitigating Biofilm-associated Infections on Medical Implants about?
## Highlights •Implants are medical devices used to provide structural support to various organs in the human body. •Implants are made of metals, rubber, mesh-like materials, synthetics, or plastics which favors biofilm colonization. •Biofilm infections on implant surfaces can result in implant failure, chronic infections, and increased mortality rates. •Non-antibiotic alternatives to prevent biofilm formation are needed to avoid the risk of implant failure. •Antimicrobial peptides and quorum-sensing inhibitors are potential anti-biofilm agents.
