The initial chapters introduce the mechanisms of biofilm formation and its composition. Subsequently, the chapters discuss the role of biofilm in acute and chronic infections. It also explores the pivotal role of both innate and adaptive immunity on the course of biofilm infection. In addition, the book elucidates the bacterial biofilm formation on implantable devices and the current approaches to its treatment and prevention. It analyzes the possible relationship between antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation. Finally, the book also summarizes the current state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches for preventing and treating biofilms. This book is a useful resource for researchers in the field of microbiology, clinical microbiology, and also medical practitioners.Medical microbiologyBiofilmsthubMicrobiologia mèdicathubLlibres electrònicsthubMedical microbiology.BiofilmsMicrobiologia mèdica616.01Ray Rina RaniNag MoupriyaLahiri DibyajitMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483061303321Biofilm-mediated diseases2571939UNINA
