I don't have the citation for this, but I learned in a class long ago that most implanted devices end up covered in biofilms, it's only a matter of time. Especially if it's plastic. e.g. breast implants, catheters, etc.

Bacterial biofilms? On implanted implants? How do they get there?

Your bodhi is filled with bacterial and archae, if they create a localized stronghold they'll form a protective biofilm.
