Abstract

Biofilms are past (they symbolize the oldest fossils that have been explored on the planet and they form complex, heterologous structures. Besides some contain channels that permit the spread of nutrients and oxygen throughout the biofilm, facilitating growth. While biofilm formation is often described as the spontaneous mode of microbial growth, it is clear that we still have a lot to study about this inimitable microbial sessile life style. Much of the microbiological research during the last century has focused on the search of the planktonic lifestyle of microorganisms. In other words, biofilm; It is a colony community formed by microorganisms, usually against environmental stress conditions. Microbial biofilms form easily on permanent medical devices and cause diseases that are difficult to control in the absence of an effective treatment method.
