Biofilms and their role on diseases

BMC Microbiol. 2023 Jul 31;23(1):203. doi: 10.1186/s12866-023-02954-2.

Abstract

Biofilms are complex, three-dimensional structures that provide a long-established survival mechanism for microorganisms. Biofilms play a substantial role in pathogenesis as they can evade the immune response and be highly resistant to conventional antimicrobials, thus impacting the human health and healthcare system. To address this issue, BMC Microbiology invites submissions to the collection 'Biofilms and its impact on disease'.
