Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation are serious and increasing concerns in everyday life, and are responsible for significant damage in several industries, including textiles, water treatment, marine transport, medicine, and food packaging. Notwithstanding the enormous efforts of academic researchers and industry, a general solution for restricting bacterial colonization remains to be found. This Special Issue plans to provide an overview of the most recent advances in the comprehension of biofilm formation and how to control it in diverse application areas. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, biofilm formation, genetic regulation, antibacterial metabolites, antimicrobial nanomaterials and their applications, and mechanisms of action.
