摘要: Understanding the mechanisms implicated in initial attachment, development, and maturation of a biofilm phenotype are tremendous importance for their effect on medical, industrial, public health arenas. This review explores current understanding nature biofilms impact that molecular interactions between bacteria themselves, as well host, may have development using nonmotile Gram-positive coccus, Staphylococcus aureus, an example.
