Feature Reviews on Antibiofilm Strategies
This special issue belongs to the section “Antibiofilm Strategies“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pathogens colonize and reside in biofilms, where they live surrounded by a polymeric matrix that protects them from different physical, chemical and biological stresses. The colonization of biological tissues and non-living surfaces is classically the root of persistent and medical-device-related infections, and is too often the leading cause of the failure of antimicrobial therapies.
This Special Issue seeks review contributions on antibiofilm strategies. We kindly invite and encourage all research groups covering various antibiofilm strategies to contribute to this Special Issue of featured reviews.
Dr. Sanna Maria Sillankorva
