Positive biofilms to guide surface microbial ecology

Increasing emphasis is placed on the role and management of microbial biofilms in farm buildings, particularly in the context of reducing on-farm antimicrobial usage while safeguarding the animal microbial environment. A comprehensive review has just been published in the journal Biofilm. The scientific review provides an overview of the envisioned modes of action of positive biofilms used on livestock building surfaces and the resulting criteria for the selection of the appropriate micro-org
