• Microbial biofilm: formation, architecture, antibiotic resistance, and control strategies (2021, background): “A multi-layer defense system is constituted in biofilm by the formation of persister cells, development of adaptive stress responses, very less antibiotic penetration, limited nutrition, less growth and metabolic activity [99], and inactivation of antimicrobials within the components of the EPS matr”
• Evaluating the influence of novel cyanobacterial biofilmed biofertilizers on soil fertility and plant nutrition in wheat (2013, background): “In addition, microbes in biofilms show an increased resistance to antimicrobial agents [5] and thus survive in competitive environments.”

• Ionic Liquids: Applications and Perspectives (2011, background): “A general characteristic of biofilm communities is that they tend to exhibit significant tolerance/resistance to antibiotics and antimicrobial/biocidal challenge compared with planktonic bacteria of the same species (Ceri et al., 1999; Stewart & Costerton, 2001; Gilbert et al., 2002; Stewart, 2002).”
• 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.”
• Polymicrobial Interactions: Impact on Pathogenesis and Human Disease (2012, background): “Such microcommunities are highly recalcitrant to antibiotic therapy (200, 216).”
