| Summary: | The review discusses modern ideas concerning the biofilms of microorganisms. The development phases, structure and components of biofilms are considered as possible antibiotic resistance factors (ARF). Examples of various types of ADB in biofilm bacteria are given. The process of collective regulation through coordination of gene expression in a bacterial population that mediates the specific behavior of cells is considered. Various approaches that affect the components of biofilms have been evaluated in order to reduce their resistance/integrity using a combination of antibacterial drugs and enzymes of various origins. Promising methods for influencing matrix components, signaling molecules, and adhesion factors are recognized. A promising way to increase the effectiveness of the effect of antibiotics on biofilms is the use of hydrolytic enzymes. |
