Chemical agents modulating bacterial biofilm formation and development / 生物工程学报

ABSTRACT

Biofilm is a bacterial lifestyle ubiquitously in natural environments. Bacterial biofilm leads to drug resistance, a main reason why many infectious diseases are difficult to control. Due to the prominent points of biofilms implicated in infectious disease and the spread of multi-drug resistance, it is urgent to discover new antibacterial agents that can regulate biofilm formation and development. This review introduces chemical agents that could modulate bacterial biofilm formation and development.
