Mini projects on bacterial biofilm formation!

Bacteria are supposed to be omnipresent. They possess the tendency to form groups or biofilms to defend themselves from unfavorable conditions via a mechanism known as quorum sensing. A number of mini projects could be done on the biofilm formation mechanisms associated with various pathogenic bacteria. Such attempts will help you to understand the factors that turn out to be the causative factors behind infectious diseases. The mini projects should focus on the genetics and pathogenesis of the bacterium. The studies could be done in a better way by collecting clinical samples from hospitals with prior permission. Understanding the biofilm formation will be the preliminary step while trying to find out a drug for any sort of bacterial infection or associated disorders.
