Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues:
Biofilms are specialized collections of microorganisms growing on a solid surface. Microorganisms including bacteria and yeast prefer to grow as biofilms. Biofilm growth consists of 4 stages: reversible and irreversible attachment, biofilm growth and detachment. Many different anti-biofilm treatments have been studied to prevent biofilm growth. Because beverages can deliver antimicrobials directly to biofilm-covered surfaces, the study of the effect of beverages on biofilm growth is important. This Special Issue will cover the effects of different beverages on biofilm attachment, growth and detachment.
