A biofilm is a layer of microbes that grows on a surface or structure. The simplest example of one is plaque, the sticky layer of bacteria that grows on our teeth. Some biofilms are more problematic than others. When biofilms form on medical devices and catheters in our bodies, they can cause severe infections that are hard to treat. This is because bacteria in them are protected by the slimy biofilm matrix, which makes it harder for antibiotics to do their job.
