Abstract :

Bacterial communities that are attached to a surface, so-called biofilms, and their inherent
resistance to antimicrobial agents are a cause of many persistent and chronic bacterial
infections. Recent genomic and proteomic studies have identified many of the genes and gene
products differentially expressed during biofilm formation, revealing the complexity of this
developmental process.
