Linked from

The 70 pages that link to Biofilm, each with the reason it gives.

• VibrioRelated: Biofilms help some vibrios persist on aquatic surfaces and associate with hosts.

• Congo redRelated: Congo red agar can help screen for matrix production associated with some biofilms.

• Legionella pneumophilaRelated: Biofilms in water systems can shelter Legionella and support its persistence.

• Staphylococcal infectionRelated: Staphylococcal biofilms protect bacteria on catheters and implants from host defenses and treatment.

• Aliivibrio fischeriRelated: A. fischeri forms structured populations on host-associated surfaces during colonization.

• BioaugmentationRelated: Biofilms can shelter augmented organisms and maintain them near treatment surfaces.

• Bloodstream infectionRelated: Biofilms on catheters and other devices can continually seed pathogens into the bloodstream.

• Communication (biology)Related: Cell-to-cell signaling helps coordinate the formation and maintenance of many biofilms.

• Fungal pathogenRelated: Fungal biofilms can protect pathogens from host defenses and antifungal drugs.

• Immersed boundary methodsRelated: Immersed-boundary models can represent deformable biofilms interacting with moving fluids.

• Oriental rat fleaRelated: Yersinia pestis biofilm can contribute to blockage inside an infected flea.

• Pathogenic bacteriaRelated: Biofilms can shelter bacterial populations from host defenses and antimicrobial treatment.

• PsocopteraRelated: Surface microbial growth can provide food for barklice and booklice.

• Sea surface microlayerCompared with: Unlike many biofilms, the microlayer is a fluid interface rather than a fixed surface.

• GnathostomulidRelated: Microbial films on sediment grains provide food that gnathostomulids scrape away.

• Microbial cystCompared with: Biofilms protect active communities collectively, whereas cysts protect individual cells or stages.

• Microbiological phenomenaBroader topic: Biofilms show how microbial growth produces a collective, surface-associated lifestyle.

• Otorhinolaryngologic DiseasesRelated: Biofilms can help sustain some persistent ear, sinus, and airway infections.

• PilusRelated: Pili can promote the initial attachment and cell arrangement needed for biofilm formation.

• Stomatognathic DiseasesNarrower topic: Dental plaque is a biofilm whose organization helps microbes persist on teeth.
