Ventilator-associated pneumonia is defined as nosocomial pneumonia occurring more than 48 hours after patients have received mechanical ventilation. VAP in a critically ill patient significantly increases risk of mortality, ventilator time, length of stay and cost of care. The Endotracheal tube is a favourable site for biofilm formation. They are adherent cells which are embedded within a self-produced matrix of This EPS matrix impedes the normal functions of antibodies and the phagocytic cells of the immune system and leads to increased resistance to antibiotics. | Biofilm production by organisms causing ventilator associated pneumonia
