Full Description
This exam addresses the mechanisms of resistance displayed by microbial biofilms and their implications for treatment strategies. Students will explore the physiological adaptations that confer heightened resistance to antimicrobial agents.
Recognizing the challenges posed by biofilm resistance is critical for improving clinical outcomes in the treatment of biofilm-associated infections, which are increasingly recognized in medical literature.
The examination will evaluate the student's ability to articulate the specific mechanisms underpinning resistance, including genetic factors and biofilm structure, and their impact on therapeutic interventions.
Students are encouraged to relate their understanding to current treatment paradigms and innovate potential solutions to mitigate resistance.
Sample Questions
- What genetic factors contribute to the resistance of biofilms against antimicrobial agents?
