Comparison of multiple methods for quantification of microbial biofilms grown in microtiter plates. (2008, background): “biofouling in drinking water distribution systems and food processing environments) (Flemming, 2002; Fux et al., 2005; Kumar and Anand, 1998).”
Biofilms: Microbial Cities of Scientific Significance (2014, background): “In addition, scientific investigations and demonstrative studies have confirmed the existence of mechanism within the biofilms that are capable of sequestering the antimicrobial agents and prevent them from reaching their target site [95,96].”
Horizontal Gene Exchange in Environmental Microbiota (2011, background): “This increased attention to the clinical aspects of biofilm communities was primarily dictated by their role in human disease (Parsek and Singh, 2003; Fux et al., 2005; Lindsay and von Holy, 2006; Estrela et al., 2009; Kaplan, 2010).”
Enhanced Biofilm Formation and Increased Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents and Bacterial Invasion Are Caused by Synergistic Interactions in Multispecies Biofilms (2006, background): “Additionally, the bacterial cells present in a biofilm have an increased resistance to desiccation, grazing, and antimicrobial agents compared to their planktonic counterparts (15, 24, 28, 32, 53).”
Resistance of bacterial biofilms to disinfectants: a review (2011, background): “While many papers have focused on the mechanisms of biofilm resistance to antibiotics (Stewart and Costerton 2001; Stewart 2002; Fux et al. 2005; Hoiby et al. 2010), there are no recent reviews that specifically deal with the mechanisms of biofilm resistance to disinfectants.”
Microbial Biofilm: A Review on Formation, Infection, Antibiotic Resistance, Control Measures, and Innovative Treatment (2023, positive): “Through the phenomenon of diffusion–reaction inhibition, EPS can inhibit the activity of antibiotics which disperse through bioﬁlms [160,161].”
