ABSTRACT:
A method of inhibiting adherence of bacteria, fungus and other similar microorganisms to the surface of biomaterials is disclosed wherein biomaterials such as catheters and prosthetic devices are pretreated with a coating of a simple carbohydrate such as a mono- or di-saccharide. Intravascular catheters treated as such are shown to have significant reduction of adherence by S. epidermidis, S. aureus, Candidas and other organisms associated with nosocomial infection.
