Biofilm exacerbates antibiotic resistance: Is this a current oversight in antimicrobial stewardship?

Antimicrobial resistance and infection control - 20 Oct 2020

Bowler Philip, Murphy Christine, Wolcott Randall

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To raise awareness of the role of environmental biofilm in the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance and its consideration in antimicrobial stewardship. BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health. Overuse of antibiotics, increased international travel, and genetic promiscuity amongst bacteria have contributed to antibiotic resistance, and global containment efforts...
