Biofilm refers to an organized bacterial population attached to the surface of living or inanimate objects and wrapped by bacterial extracellular macromolecules. Biofilm bacteria are highly resistant to antibiotics and host immune defense mechanisms. There are various major biological macromolecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, DNA, RNA, peptidoglycan, lipids and phospholipids in biofilms. The formation of multicellular structures in biofilms is a dynamic process that includes stages such as bacterial initiation of adhesion, biofilm development, and maturation diffusion. Now, CD BioSciences provides you with a variety of biofilm testing services to meet your scientific research needs.
Why Perform Biofilm Testing?
Up to 90% of bacteria in nature exist in the form of biofilms, which provide protection through a symbiotic relationship between species and the surrounding extracellular matrix, which makes them difficult to inhibit or disperse, in addition to being less sensitive to antimicrobial agents . Biofilms have repeatedly been shown to be more resistant to antimicrobial compounds. Therefore, such tests may misjudge the concentration of active substances required to combat biofilms.http://www.biofilma.com/biofilm-testing-service.html »
