Biofilms are resistant to antimicrobial chemicals due to genetic diversity.

<h3>How do biofilms increase antibiotic resistance?</h3>

Biofilms are considered as a reservoir of genetic diversity. The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance genes increase in biofilm due to horizontal gene transfer (HGT).

HGT can happen through the transfer of plasmids among microorganism cells in a biofilm through conjugation so that's why the antimicrobial resistance is higher in a biofilm than in free-floating bacterial cells.

  • The relationship between biodiversity and rebound from disturbance is such that a biodiverse ecosystem is able to resist any change.
  • The disturbance might affect proportion of the populace. But on the long organisms can survived and be propagated again.
