Abstract
Biofilm mode of growth is bacterial lifestyle widespread in microbial world and represents a concern in health care. Recently, serious problem concerning biofilm-related infection is increasing significantly. However complexity of biofilm makes it difficult to conduct proper analysis. Although biofilm represents a major challenge for microbiologist, methods aimed to determine biofilm formation and development are not standardized yet. The aim of the present review was to provide an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the difference in vitro methods for determining biofilm forming ability of clinical isolates.
