Abstract

Biofilms are an ancient survival microorganism strategy that allows the colonization of hostile environments, host tissues or inert surfaces, even under changing conditions. For pathogenic this represents, a dispersal mechanism of infections. Therefore, the study of biofilms is important to understand new colonization strategies, antibiotic resistance, and horizontal gene transfer, among
other mechanisms shared by microorganisms at the consortia. The purpose of this review is to provide a general understanding of these communities, highlighting their importance in the environment and interactions among species that form them.
