Discussion The first study to describe the difference between acute and chronic infection was published by Marrie et al.18 This study found that bacteria in blood were readily treatable with antibiotics, whereas bacteria in biofilm covering a pacemaker lead responded poorly to the same treatment.18 Later, it was stated, ‘But the fatal element in the biologically flawed strategy of acute pathogens was their adoption of the planktonic mode of growth’.19 Microbiologists have since reasserted...
