- Biofilms: Survival Mechanisms of Clinically Relevant MicroorganismsClinical Microbiology Reviews · 2002 · 6,688 citations
Though biofilms were first described by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, the theory describing the biofilm process was not developed until 1978. We now understand that biofilms are universal, occurring in aquatic and industrial water systems as well as a large number…
- Biofilms: Microbial Life on SurfacesEmerging infectious diseases · 2002 · 4,946 citations
Microorganisms attach to surfaces and develop biofilms. Biofilm-associated cells can be differentiated from their suspended counterparts by generation of an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix, reduced growth rates, and the up- and down- regulation of specific genes. Attachment is a…
