Abstract: 
Biofilms are slow-growing communities of multiple strains of bacteria that resist both innate immune mechanisms as well as antibiotics [1] [16] [17]. They also contain extracellular DNA (bacterial or host origin), polysaccharides, and proteins that form dense matrix is resistant to the host’s innate immune response [18] [19].
