| Core Tip |
This prospective study evaluated the components in biofilms of retrieved biliary stents and analyzed predisposing factors involved in the process. A majority of stents showed growth of polymicrobial consortia. Polymerase chain reaction and sequencing helped to detect several microorganisms in most of the stents. Presence of cholangitis, smaller diameter of stents and longer indwelling time of stents were associated with higher chance of biofilm formation. To prevent stent occlusion, longer diameter stents with an indwelling time of 3 to 6 mo should be used. |
