Microbial Growth-Biofilms.
Biofilms are of paramount importance in medicine due to their involvement in chronic infections. Bacteria encased in biofilms become highly resistant to antibiotics and the immune system, posing significant challenges in treatment. They can persist on medical devices like catheters and implants, leading to device-related infections. Biofilms also play a role in dental
plaque, contributing to tooth decay and gum disease. Understanding biofilm formation and disruption is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies and antimicrobial agents to combat persistent infections, enhance wound healing, and improve patient outcomes in various healthcare settings, ultimately advancing the field of medical science and patient care.
