摘要:As biofilms exhibit increased tolerance towards anti-microbial agents and decreased susceptibility to host defense systems, biofilm-associated diseases have become difficult to treat. New techniques have revolutionized our understanding of biofilms, resulting in advances in the prevention and treatment of biofilm-related diseases. This book presents these advances to clinicians and medical researchers.
