The medical miracle of antibiotics is being eroded by the emergence
and spread of bacterial drug resistance. This is compounded by the fact
that bacterial biofilms are believed to be a common cause of persistent
infections, when because growing in biofilms, bacteria are protected
from the hosts immune response and from antibiotics. In addition,
biofilms may spawn systemic infections by sloughing of planktonic
bacteria, leading to dissemination, bacteremia, sepsis, and death. The
number of patients affected by and dying from what can be considered as
a biofilm disease is higher than heart disease and cancer combined,
making medical biofilms the biggest single disease that the healthcare
system is facing today.
This book describes the molecular mechanisms
of cell-to-cell communication among bacterial cells in a biofilm, the
development of antibiofilm inhibitors, like quorum-sensing inhibitors,
and the use of biofilm inhibitors to prevent and treat bacterial
infections in humans and other animals.
