In nature as well as in our bodies, bacteria predominantly live as organized communities called biofilms. These structures ...

Biofilm Examples. Biofilms can grow on heart valves, in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis, in the intestines, and on teeth, as well as on medical devices and implants, including artificial ...

Some biofilms are also useful, for example, in the production of cheese, where specific types of biofilms not only produce the many tiny holes, but also provide its delicious taste.

For example, how do biofilms form on soft, tissue-like materials? This is the question that a team of scientists led by Alex Persat at EPFL have ventured to answer.

Riverside recently discovered a chemical that plants produce that could help prevent infections in medical patients.  Science Daily reported on the findings, explaining that biofilm is a slimy ...
