Question

Describe the ways in which bacterial cells cluster together?

Answer 1

Bacterial cells clusters together with hyphae.

When bacteria colonize your teeth or any other solid surface, they form slimy yet durable coatings. These so-called biofilms can lead to cavities, infected pacemakers, and other medical problems. Because biofilms are more resistant to antibiotics than lone bacteria are, drugs that prevent biofilms would make many infections easier to treat. Now researchers have taken a step in that direction by starting to pick apart the molecular signals bacteria use to keep in touch.
