Preferred Label : biofilms;
MeSH definition : Encrustations, formed from microbes (bacteria, algae, fungi, plankton, or protozoa)
embedding in extracellular polymers, that adhere to surfaces such as teeth (DENTAL
DEPOSITS); PROSTHESES AND IMPLANTS; and catheters. Biofilms are prevented from forming
by treating surfaces with DENTIFRICES; DISINFECTANTS; ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS; and antifouling
agents.; Encrustations formed from microbes (bacteria, algae, fungi, plankton, or protozoa)
embedded in an EXTRACELLULAR POLYMERIC SUBSTANCE MATRIX that is secreted by the microbes.
They occur on body surfaces such as teeth (DENTAL DEPOSITS); inanimate objects, and
bodies of water. Biofilms are prevented from forming by treating surfaces with DENTIFRICES;
DISINFECTANTS; ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS; and anti-fouling agents.;
MeSH synonym : biofilm;
DeCS synonym : Biological Film; Biological Layer;
MeSH annotation : coordinate IM with specific organism /physiol (IM); occurrence of biofilms on prostheses
or other devices: coordinate IM with specific device (IM); infection of prostheses
by biofilms: coordinate BIOFILMS (IM) with specific prosthesis (IM) PROSTHESIS-RELATED
INFECTIONS (IM) specific infection (IM); coordinate with specific organism /physiol; occurrence of biofilms on prostheses or
other devices: coordinate with specific device; infection of prostheses by biofilms:
coordinate BIOFILMS with specific prosthesis PROSTHESIS-RELATED INFECTIONS specific
infection;
Origin ID : D018441;
UMLS CUI : C0081786;
