ABSTRACT
Biofilms are aggregates formed by mixing and accumulating of microorganisms and are the preferred lifestyle of bacteria. Biofilm forming bacteria are different from planktonic bacteria in virulence and drug resistance. Intestinal barrier damage and dysregulation of flora are both involved in the occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Bacteria can translocate and form biofilm to play a pro-inflammatory role when the abundance of flora changes. This article reviewed the pro-inflammatory effect of biofilm in IBD and the prospect of anti-biofilm therapy in IBD.
