Résumé

Microbial Biofilms: Biology, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Emerging Control Strategies offers a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of biofilms as complex microbial communities with major implications for human and animal health, industry, food systems, and the environment. The book examines biofilm biology, architecture, extracellular polymeric substances, development, and regulation, while addressing persistence, antimicrobial tolerance, and resistance within a One Health perspective. It also reviews conventional and emerging control approaches, including quorum-sensing inhibition, matrix-degrading enzymes, antimicrobial peptides, bacteriophages, nanotechnology, and CRISPR–Cas strategies. Designed for students, researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals, it bridges fundamental microbiology with innovative approaches to biofilm prevention and control.
