Medical Implications of Biofilms
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... a real pleasure to read ... suitable for both clinicians and medical researchers. the wide range of topics covered makes this work a perfect review for those interested in medically related biofilms.' ASM News
'... a valuable reference both for biofilm aficionados and anyone, including final-year undergraduates, with an interest in infectious diseases.' Microbiology Today
Book Description
Interest in biofilms has increased dramatically in recent years. New microscopic and molecular techniques have revolutionized our understanding of biofilm structure, composition, organization, and activities. This book brings advances in the prevention and treatment of biofilm-related diseases to the attention of clinicians and medical researchers. Human tissues often support complex microbial communities growing as biofilms that can cause infections. As microbes in biofilms exhibit increased tolerance toward anti-microbial agents and decreased susceptibility to host defense systems, biofilm-associated diseases have become increasingly difficult to treat.
