Forging a Link Between Biofilms and Disease

Article Abstract:

Biofilms, a collection of bacteria, may be responsible for a variety of human diseases. Biofilms attack body tissue, including the teeth and gums, the lungs, the ears, and the urogenital tract. They are also responsible for attacking tubing and implants. The research linking biofilms to human diseases is outlined.
