Biofouling, 2003
The extracellular matrix is a complex and extremely important component of all biofilms, providing architectural structure and mechanical stability to the attached population. The matrix is composed of cells, water and secreted/released extracellular macromolecules.

Biofouling, 1996
A mixed-culture biofilm (MCB) model is available which describes the progression of biofilm thickness and the spatial distribution and development in time of dissolved and paniculate components in the biofilm. The MCB model is able to predict the physico-chemical conditions at the interface between the biofilm and the solid surface, on which the ...

This chapter on biofilm risks deals with biofilm formation of pathogenic microbes, sampling and detection methods, biofilm removal, and prevention of biofilm formation. Several common pathogens produce sticky and/or slimy structures in which the cells are embedded, that is, biofilms, on various surfaces in food processing.

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2008
Biofilms are bacterial communities ubiquitous to moist environments. Biofilm formation is a factor in the development and persistence of infectious diseases. In clinical nephrology, biofilms influence the development of kidney stones and affect dialysis systems, including peritoneal and central venous catheters.

Acta Otorrinolaringologica (English Edition), 2014
According to the National Institute of Health of the USA, «more than 60% of all microbial infections are caused by biofilms».'This can surprise us, but it is enough to consider that common infections like those of the genito-urinary tract, infections produced by catheters, middle ear infections in children, the formation of dental plaque and gingivitis

Exopolysaccharides and Biofilms
2020During infection, many fungal pathogens form biofilms within tissues or on biomedical devices. The growth of fungi within biofilms increases dramatically their resistance to both immune defences and antifungal therapies. In the last twenty years, studies have begun to shed light on many of the steps involved in biofilm synthesis and composition ...

In nature, over 99% of bacteria are found attached to surfaces in a slime-encased community known as a biofilm. The physiology of adherent cells is dramatically different from that of planktonic (free-floating) cells; particularly, their ability to tolerate exposure to toxic compounds.

Biofilm je sesilna zajednica mikroorganizama koja se formira na mnogim biotičkim i gotovo svim abiotičkim površinama. Ova multicelularna zajednica mikroorganizama ima kompleksnu strukturu i fiziološki se razlikuje od planktonskih oblika. Biofilm nastaje u oko 60% infekcija u ljudi, pokazuje veliku otpornost na djelovanje antibiotika i vrlo ga je ...
