Microbial Biofilms

 Biofilms are the assemblage of   microorganisms enclosed in an extracellular polymeric substance matrix. The complex process of attachment has diverse characteristics. It is a cascade process with regulated by growth medium, substratum and cell surface. Their role in infectious diseases has led to their increased importance in clinical microbiology. Better understanding and knowledge about biofilms will lead to novel and pivot control of biofilms with improved biofilm management.
