Background Patient soil and bacterial biofilm in patient-ready endoscope channels can adversely impact the efficacy of detergent and disinfectant, thereby increasing the risk of nosocomial infection. Biofilm bacteria are firmly attached to one anothe

Intrapartum transmission is epidemiologically important for some viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B virus, but its precise mechanism is unknown. We hypothesised that the ability of elective caesarean section to prevent HIV may be due to prevention o
