Abstract

Background: Microbial communities encased in exopolymericsubstances (EPS) attached to suitable substrate as biofilms show heightenedresistance to multiple drugs including antibiotics. One promising controlstrategy in dealing with the ever mounting problem of antibiotic resistanceamongst biofilm forming bacterial pathogens is the use of biological agents.lt;/pgt
