About this Research Topic
This Research Topic will delve into the intricate dynamics of biofilms, providing a nuanced understanding of microbial interactions within the expansive realm of microbiomes and their implications for host health.
We will focus on unraveling the complexities of biofilm formation and function, offering insights into the role of non-pathogenic bacteria as integral components of the microbiome. By examining the interplay between biofilms and their microbial surroundings, the topic aims to contribute to a comprehensive comprehension of these dynamic structures.
Furthermore, this topic explores the multifaceted relationship between biofilms and host health, shedding light on potential links to beneficial and detrimental outcomes. This interdisciplinary approach provides a holistic perspective on microbial interactions, with implications for understanding health and disease dynamics in the context of biofilm-associated microbiomes. Through the integration of various scientific disciplines, such as microbiology, clinical medicine, bioinformatics and molecular biology, this topic advances our knowledge of biofilms and their significance, paving the way for potential applications in medicine and beyond.
