Abstract

Biofilm-associated infections (BAIs) are more common in clinical practice and have become a public health problem of global concern. We present our views on current research (detection methods, mechanism research, animal model construction, treatment strategies, etc.) on biofilms and BAIs, and discuss future developments concerning this important issue.
