Abstract: Staphylococcus epidermidis has the ability to adhere to the surface of shunt tube and to develop the biofilm .It can embed itself in the biofilm so as to escape from the defense of the host .Due to the presence of biofilms , antimicrobial drug resistance , blood brain barrier of central nervous system , the treatment of shunt-related infection caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis is very difficult.This paper reviews the risk factors , prevalence , pathogenesis , treatment and prevention of ventriculoperitoneal shunt-related infections caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis.
