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. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aantibiofilm 610 $aantimicrobial agent 610 $abacteria 610 $afungi 610 $apolymicrobial biofilm 610 $amicroalga 610 $afree fatty acids 610 $aencapsulation 610 $abiofilm 610 $achronic wounds 610 $ahost response 610 $aS100A8/A9 610 $adental plaque 610 $aquorum sensing 610 $amicrobial resistance 610 $abacterial adhesion 610 $ablocking effect 610 $ahydrodynamics 610 $aparallel plate flow cell 610 $acarbon nanotubes 610 $apoly(dimethylsiloxane) 610 $aadhesion 610 $aEscherichia coli 610 $aBiofilm 610 $aPublic Engagement 610 $aOutreach 610 $aControl Strategies 610 $aOral Biofilm 610 $aTiO2 nanofibers 610 $aelectrospinning 610 $abiofilm prevention and control 610 $amultidrug-resistant bacteria 610 $abiomedical application 610 $abiofilms 610 $abiofilm inhibition 610 $adental implants 610 $aperi-implantitis 610 $apolyether-ether-ketone 610 $aPseudomonas aeruginosa 610 $aCandida albicans 610 $amixed-species biofilm analysis 610 $aflow cytometry 610 $abacteriophage therapy 610 $aprosthesis related infections 610 $ahardware infections 610 $aleft ventricular assist devices 610 $aAcinetobacter baumannii 610 $aantibiotic resistance 610 $aantibiotic tolerance 610 $apersister 610 $aintraspecies community 610 $aEPS matrix 610 $apeptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridization 610 $aurinary tract infections 610 $acatheter-associated urinary tract infections 610 $aconfocal laser scanning microscopy 610 $arecalcitrance 610 $abiofilm control 610 $aKlebsiella pneumoniae 610 $aKPC and OXA-48-like carbapenemases 610 $aGalleria mellonella infection model 610 $alinear oligoethyleneimine hydrochloride 610 $abacteriophage 610 $aendotracheal tube 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aMelo$b Lui?s$4edt$00 702 $aAzevedo$b Nuno F$4edt 702 $aMelo$b Lui?s$4oth 702 $aAzevedo$b Nuno F$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557721803321 996 $aNew Insights on Biofilm Antimicrobial Strategies$93029675 997 $aUNINA
