- BookGianfranco Donelli, editor.Summary: The aim of this book is to provide readers with a wide overview of the main healthcare-associated infections caused by bacteria and fungi able to grow as biofilm. The recently acquired knowledge on the pivotal role played by biofilm-growing microorganisms in healthcare-related infections has given a new dynamic to detection, prevention and treatment of these infections in patients admitted to both acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities. Clinicians, hygienists and microbiologists will be updated by leading scientists on the state-of-art of biofilm-based infections and on the most innovative strategies for prevention and treatment of these infections, often caused by emerging multidrug-resistant biofilm-growing microorganisms.

It demonstrates the deposition of cristalline and non-cristalline substances in the corneal epithelium as well as the anterior half of the corneal stroma. Histiocytic elements infiltrate the subepithelial connective tissue. Bowman's membrane is conspicuously almost totally missing. The paper concludes with a discussion of the above findings.
