Most bacteria exist as a cell community that adheres to living or inert surfaces. This fellowship is called a biofilm and it is often associated with health complications. Bacterial biofilm infections are especially problematic because the sessile bacteria resist the host's immune mechanisms, antibiotics and disinfectants. The review deals with the principle of biofilm formation and with aspects that affect this process. It tries to bring readers new trends in modern wound dressing, in the treatment of healthcare premises, water and invasive medical devices, which should lead to a minimization of biofilm formation and the incidence of health- care associated infections.

Keywords: bacterial biofilm, bacterial adhesion, nosocomial infection - prevention
