A biofilm can be defined as communities of microorganisms attached to a surface, embedded in an extracellular matrix of polysaccharides. Within these microcolonies, bacteria have developed into organized communities with functional heterogeneity. It constitutes a protected mode of growth that allows survival in a hostile environment. Bacteria in such an environment differ greatly in phenotype when compared with theirplanktonic counterparts, and are far less susceptible to antimicrobial killing. It has been reported that microorganisms grown in biofilms could be 2-fold to 1000- fold more resistant than the corresponding planktonic form of the same organisms.
