Abstract:Dense communities of bacteria, also known as biofilms, are ubiquitous in all of our everyday life. They are not only always surrounding us, but are also active inside our bodies, for example in the oral cavity. While some biofilms are beneficial or even necessary for human life, others can be harmful. Therefore, it is highly important to gain an in-depth understanding of biofilms which can be achieved by in vitro or in vivo experiments. Since these experiments are often time-consuming or expensive, in silico m… Show more
