He added that vaccines and antimicrobial treatments for the disorders are no longer considered radical notions.

In fact, viruses can also infect bacteria and thus used as antimicrobial treatment (phage therapy).

Eight patients did not receive antimicrobial treatment in any of the study periods.

No randomized, controlled clinical trials have evaluated antimicrobial treatment of bartonellosis in HIV-infected patients.

Because biofilms protect the bacteria, they are often more resistant to traditional antimicrobial treatments, making them a serious health risk.

The bacterium forms a biofilm which is resistant to chemical and antimicrobial treatments, including chlorine.

The process is not chemical, as with other types of antimicrobial treatments, but mechanical.

In such clinical settings, laboratory testing for coinfection is indicated to ensure that appropriate antimicrobial treatment is given.

Complete an appropriate duration of antimicrobial treatment (not too short and not too long)
