Overview

This review uncovers mechanisms behind biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance in pathogens, highlighting innovative control strategies.

Key Points

  • Biofilms are protective matrices that help bacteria evade antibiotics, making treatment more difficult.
  • About 80% of human infections involve biofilms, severely impacting healthcare outcomes.
  • Quorum sensing allows biofilms to maintain stability and promote bacterial virulence.
  • Targeting the extracellular polymeric matrix could provide new methods to combat biofilm-related antimicrobial resistance.
