Bacterial Biofilms; Links to Pathogenesis and Résistance Mechanism
2018-07-30
Abstract excerpt
Biofilms are usually defined as surface-associated microbial communities, surrounded by an extracellular polymeric substance matrix. There are three major steps that are observed in biofilm formation: initial attachment events, microcolony formation and construction of mushroom-like structure with secretion of extracelluar polymeric substances.
