Biofilm Biofilm –– The Ally of BacteriaThe Ally of Bacteria
�� BiofilmBiofilm is the main tool for microorganisms to is the main tool for microorganisms to survive and multiply in waste water survive and multiply in waste water environments ( e.g. drain traps )environments ( e.g. drain traps )
�� Within this Within this biofilmbiofilm a lot of excellent conditions a lot of excellent conditions necessary for growth of microbes in waste water necessary for growth of microbes in waste water tubes can be found.tubes can be found.
�� Because the Because the biofilmbiofilm acts as protective barrier acts as protective barrier against antiagainst anti--microbial substances it can be a microbial substances it can be a possibility for expression of resistance against possibility for expression of resistance against antibioticsantibiotics..

When the sink is used this surface is moved, an aerosol is When the sink is used this surface is moved, an aerosol is formed and so an exchange of microorganisms between liquid formed and so an exchange of microorganisms between liquid and air occurs. and air occurs.
