So in this question we are given that biofilm infections are very difficult to treat as compared to other bacterial infections.
00:14
So biofilm infections are difficult to treat while other bacterial infections they are still rather easier to treat.
00:24
So if there are normal bacterial infections, normal planktonic bacterial infections, we can simply use the conventional antibiotics.
00:36
We can use conventional antibiotics which will act on these bacteria and would kill these bacteria.
00:45
So these antibiotics can be used to treat normal bacterial infections.
00:50
But in case of biofilm infections, if we talk about biofilm, biofilm is formed basically when a number of bacteria, number of different bacteria, they form an aggregate.
01:07
Form an aggregate means they join together or they stick together and live together.
01:17
They start living together and they are also surrounded by a extracellular matrix sheet.
01:27
So they are surrounded by extracellular matrix.
01:31
So if we were to explain it diagrammatically, let's suppose that this is a surface...
