Answer: A group of bacteria that accumulate in layers and secrete an protective extracellular material

These cells become embedded within an extracellular matrix that is composed of extracellular polymeric substances (polysaccharides, lipids, proteins and DNA) which surrounds and protects cells. <u>For this reason, bacterial biofilms cause chronic infections because they show increased tolerance to antibiotics.</u>
