Microbial Biofilms 1st Edition

Discover Microbial Biofilms, 1st Edition by Mukesh Kumar Yadav, Jae Jun Song, and Jorge E. Vidal — a definitive, up-to-date resource that brings clarity to one of microbiology’s most impactful topics. This authoritative volume blends rigorous science with practical insight, making complex biofilm behavior accessible to researchers, clinicians, environmental engineers, and industry professionals worldwide.

Inside, you’ll find clear explanations of biofilm formation, structure, and signaling, plus modern analytical methods for characterization and imaging. The authors bridge theory and practice, covering biofilm roles in healthcare (chronic infections, implant-associated pathogens), industrial systems (bioreactors, pipeline fouling), food safety, and environmental applications like wastewater treatment and bioremediation. Special attention to antimicrobial resistance and innovative control strategies highlights solutions relevant across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Why this book matters: it equips readers with the scientific foundations and applied techniques needed to diagnose, manage, and design interventions against persistent microbial communities. Case studies and comparative analyses showcase real-world outcomes, helping professionals translate research into policy, clinical protocols, or operational improvements.

Whether you’re a graduate student beginning biofilm research, a clinician confronting device-associated infections, or an engineer optimizing treatment systems, this edition is a practical, research-driven guide. Compact yet comprehensive, it’s ideal for lab reference, course adoption, or strategic planning.
