Possibilities of Microbial Biofilm Inhibition

Abstract

Microbial biofilm is a major source of problems and microbial contamination across the industrial production, for example in pharmacy, agriculture or food industry, but also in healthcare. One of the possible solutions to this problem is the inhibition of its formation or eradication of the already formed biofilm. There are many ways to achieve this goal. This review article focuses on the use of chemical disinfectants, antibiotics or biologically active natural substances.
