“… 8 This study also highlighted emerging non-invasive techniques (eg, disclosing agents and biomarkers α-defensin) and the need for standardization to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical translation. A recent review 53 discussed the interdisciplinary efforts required to combat biofilm infections in orthopedic medicine, combining insights from microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, and materials science to develop innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This study delved into the intricate processes behind biofilm formation, such as bacterial dormancy and infiltration into host cells and bone structures, which contribute to the chronicity of infections and their resistance to conventional antibiotics.…”
