Overview
Microbial Biofilms: Challenges and Advances in Metabolomic Study is a volume in the Advances in Biotechnology and Bioengineering Series. The volume covers the metabolomic characteristics of bacterial biofilms and examines the techniques used in the analysis of the metabolomics of the biofilm, its formation, and related infections. The book includes the metabolomics study of various types of biofilms and details new strategies in targeting metabolic pathways for inhibiting the biofilm. The book also describes various types of metabolomics studies like metabolomics of oral biofilm and metabolomics of biofilm by nosocomial microbes. It also points out the recent advancements on various aspects of metabolomics studies pertaining to biofilms, related infections, their pathogenesis, and present-day treatment strategies. Microbial Biofilms: Challenges and Advances in Metabolomic Study is a helpful resource to scientists and researchers engaged in biofilm studies, precisely on the metabolomic changes at molecular level occurring in the participating microorganisms. It is also fascinating and thought provoking for the clinicians and health professionals actively involved in the treatment of biofilm mediated chronic infections, since it depicts the pathogenic consequences of the small molecular interactions of the metabolites in biofilm.
