Biofilms a Rabble-rouser in the Environment Leading to Antibiotics Resistance | Chapter 5 | Innovations in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 7

 Background: Even when appropriate antibiotic treatments are given, bacteria have an inherent biofilm resistance that is very difficult to overcome. They demonstrate antibiotic resistance in a number of ways, including limited antibiotic uptake by biofilms, slowed growth, and production of resistance genes.

Phenotypic and genotypic techniques are used in diagnostics.

Antibiotic concentrations over the MIC are needed to completely eradicate the biofilms. Upper respiratory tract infections are decreased by probiotics (Good Bacteria).

Conclusion: Due to the improper administration of topical antibiotics, most antibiotics are no longer effective against Multi Drug Resistant Bacteria, which causes the development of Biofilm.
