Microbial biofilms: molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and methods for their investigation
By performing a literature review, to summarize current evidence on the molecular mechanisms underlying biofilm-associated resistance to antibacterial agents and to analyze laboratory approaches used for biofilm cultivation, visualization, and antimicrobial susceptibility assessment. An analytical review of Ukrainian and international publications on biofilms, antimicrobial resistance, and biofilm research methods was performed. Sources were identified through open scientific databases and library resources, includ …
