Cover Story: “This figure is Created with BioRender.com” This extensive review describes biofilm-associated bacterial infections in most body systems of husbandry animals, including fish, as well as in sport and companion animals. Biofilms are bacterial aggregates embedded in a self-produced, protective matrix. The biofilm lifestyle offers resilience to external threats such as the immune system, antimicrobials, and other treatments. It is therefore not surprising that biofilms have been observed in a number of bacterial infections. Several potential roles that biofilms can play in disease pathogenesis are also described in the review. This shows the importance of acknowledging the role of biofilms in animal bacterial infections, as the presence of biofilm influences both diagnostic procedures and treatment. View this paper
