TODO - Orthopedic implant-related infections remain a major problem even
nowadays. Bacterial resistance through biofilm formation, in addition to
the limited treatment options available, has resulted in an increased
effort to better understand pathophysiology mechanisms. We performed a
review of the literature in order to identify major biofilm formation
pathways through which possible treatment strategies could arise.
