New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Microbial Biofilms: Current Research and Future Trends in Microbial Biofilms

by Mukesh Kumar Yadav (editor), Bhim Pratap Singh (Editor)

New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Microbial Biofilms is divided into three microbial adhesion/biofilms in medical settings, microbial adhesion/biofilms in agriculture, and microbial adhesion/biofilm in the environment and industry. Chapters cover adhesion and biofilm formation by pathogenic microbes on tissue and on indwelling medical devices, including sections on human infections, microbial communication during biofilm mode of growth, host defense and antimicrobial resistance, and more. Other sections cover the biofilms of agriculturally important and environmental friendly microbes, including biofilm formation on plants, in soil, and in aquatic environments. Finally, the latest scientific research on microbial adhesion and biofilm formation in the environment and in industry is covered.
