basic information
**Abstract of the Lecture** Biofilms are structures formed by bacteria on solid surfaces or at gas-liquid interfaces. Infections caused by biofilm formation are referred to as biofilm infections and are a concern across a wide range of medical specialties. Bacteria within biofilms exhibit high resistance to chemotherapeutic agents and the body's defense mechanisms, making biofilm infections difficult to treat. Therefore, when biofilm infections are suspected in patients using medical devices such as catheters, pacemakers, or artificial joints, there are currently no fundamental treatment options other than removing these devices. In this lecture, I would like to introduce global research trends related to biofilms and discuss our efforts aimed at controlling biofilm infections.
