Research is being conducted on the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance in biofilms, with studies exploring various aspects such as the role of microplastic biofilms and silver nanoparticle resistance. The development of new strategies to combat antibiotic resistance is also being investigated, including the use of next-generation antimicrobials, antibiotic potentiators, and targeted drug delivery systems. Additionally, the impact of biofilm removal on antibiotic resistance is being examined, with some findings suggesting that certain methods may drive unintended surges in resistance.
