Mechanisms of biofilm resistance to antimicrobial agents.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Jan 2001

Mah T F, O'Toole G A

Abstract excerpt

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms attached to a surface. It has become clear that biofilm-grown cells express properties distinct from planktonic cells, one of which is an increased resistance to antimicrobial agents. Recent work has indicated that slow growth and/or induction of an rpoS...
