These microbial communities comprise cells adhered to surfaces that are surrounded by a self-produced exopolymeric matrix that protects biofilm cells against different external stresses. Biofilms can have a negative impact on different sectors within society, namely in agriculture, food industries, and veterinary and human health. As a consequence of their metabolic state and matrix protection, biofilm cells are very difficult to tackle with antibiotics or chemical disinfectants. Due to this problem, recent advances in the development of antibiotic alternatives or complementary strategies to prevent or control biofilms have been reported. This book includes different strategies to prevent biofilm formation or to control biofilm development and includes full research articles, reviews, a communication, and a perspective.Technology: general issuesbicsscAcinetobacter baumanniiadhesionantibiofilmantibiotic resistanceantibiotic toleranceantimicrobial agentbacteriabacterial adhesionbacteriophagebacteriophage therapybiofilmBiofilmbiofilm controlbiofilm inhibitionbiofilm prevention and controlbiofilmsbiomedical applicationblocking effectCandida albicanscarbon nanotubescatheter-associated urinary tract infectionschronic woundsconfocal laser scanning microscopyControl Strategiesdental implantsdental plaqueelectrospinningencapsulationendotracheal tubeEPS matrixEscherichia coliflow cytometryfree fatty acidsfungiGalleria mellonella infection modelhardware infectionshost responsehydrodynamicsintraspecies communityKlebsiella pneumoniaeKPC and OXA-48-like carbapenemasesleft ventricular assist deviceslinear oligoethyleneimine hydrochloridemicroalgamicrobial resistancemixed-species biofilm analysismultidrug-resistant bacterian/aOral BiofilmOutreachparallel plate flow cellpeptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridizationperi-implantitispersisterpoly(dimethylsiloxane)polyether-ether-ketonepolymicrobial biofilmprosthesis related infectionsPseudomonas aeruginosaPublic Engagementquorum sensingrecalcitranceS100A8/A9TiO2 nanofibersurinary tract infectionsTechnology: general issuesMelo Luísedt0Azevedo Nuno FedtMelo LuísothAzevedo Nuno FothBOOK9910557721803321New Insights on Biofilm Antimicrobial Strategies3029675UNINA
