Antibiotics, antibodies, and phagocytes affect planktonic bacteria differently than bacteria in biofilms.
What are planktonic bacteria?
- Free-living bacteria make up planktonic organisms.
- They are the populations that develop in the microbiology lab's well-known flask and test tube cultures.
- Adherent or sessile, growth is the opposite kind of development. Since ancient times, planktonic microorganisms have been understood.
- Bacterial biofilms are microbial populations attached to an inert surface or tissue and are enveloped in a complex matrix.
- Planktonic bacteria develop a microcolony, connect irreversibly to a surface, and then construct a polymer matrix to enclose the biofilm in a series of steps.
