Bacteria exist in two states, planktonic, freely existing in bulk solution, and biofilm, attached as a unit to a surface. Thus, bacterial infection can occur in either or both states. Biofilm infection has posed a major threat to healthcare due to lack of available antibiotics with potent anti-biofilm activity. Not only difficult to treat, it also presents high reoccurring rates, not even to mention biofilm problems caused by the infamous "superbugs" strains, adding another layer of complication in treatment and prevention in community, hospital, as well as other setting.
