In fact, biofilm cells bind strongly to a living or non-living surface, enclosed in a self-produced extracellular matrix that is composed of extracellular polymeric substances. One benefit of this lifestyle is the increased resistance or tolerance to antimicrobial agents (e.g., antibiotics). Hence, research on the development of alternative strategies to prevent and control biofilms is highly relevant for society in terms of human health, industry and the environment. Different approaches to prevent or control biofilms using antibiotic alternative strategies were submitted to this Special Issue.Biology, life sciencesbicsscMicrobiology (non-medical)bicsscResearch & information: generalbicssc1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerols2'OMealuminum nitrideanti-foulingantibacterialantibacterial agentsantibacterial drugantibiofilm activityantifungalantimicrobialantimicrobial activityantimicrobial resistanceantisense oligonucleotidesapoptosisbacteriophagesbenzalkonium chloridebiocidal particlesbiocontrolbiofilmbiofilmsCandidaCAPEcellulose acetateciprofloxacincompositedental implantsdisplacementE. coli biofilmsEscherichia coliether lipidsfood contact surfacesfunctionalizationheat shockLactobacillus plantarumLactobacillus rhamnosusLNAmechanicalmicrobial resistancen/anatural alkylglycerolsnucleic acid mimicsoral biofilmorganic matterperacetic acidpolypropyleneprobioticsprosthesis-related infectionsquorum sensing inhibitionstainless steelsurface coatingthermaltitanium implantsurinary tract devicesvitamin B12Biology, life sciencesMicrobiology (non-medical)Research & information: generalMelo Luísedt0Azevedo Andreia SedtMelo LuísothAzevedo Andreia SothBOOK9910585938403321New Insights on Biofilm Antimicrobial Strategies, 2nd Volume3022798UNINA
