Microorganisms which gets attached to the surface and develops is known as biofilm. Biofilm structure generally comprises of microbial cells and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix. Because of the presence of EPS in biofilm, it makes the microbial population resistance against the antibiotic or other drugs. Biofilms have a defined architecture and provides optimal environment for the exchange of generic material between the cells. Biofilm plays major role in certain infectious diseases and thus has greater importance for the public health.
