| | So really any anti-bacterial treatments should be seen as supportive treatment for the fish’s own immune system and what we are trying to do is to tilt the balance of health back in the fish’s favour. | | | It mostly comes down to the experience of the person on the spot in deciding how severe the situation is and what course of action is required. | | | This situation can be directly compared to the normal microbial flora of the human mouth and skin which are teeming with potentially harmful ‘germs’ but rarely cause any problems unless the bugs can get past our body defences. |

| | Biofilms in Chronic Bacterial Infections |
| | In addition, the recognition of an infection as a biofilm disease suggests that the infecting organisms are growing in the biofilm phenotype, which may differ profoundly from the planktonic phenotype that is so extensively studied in traditional laboratory cultures. | | | The direct examination of materials and tissues from chronic bacterial infections, such as cystic fibrosis pneumonia and osteomyelitis, have clearly shown that the infecting organisms grow in biofilms that resemble the sessile communities that predominate in natural ecosystems. | | | Biofilm research has begun to explain the resistance of these sessile communities to antibacterial agents, in the industrial context, and the simple recognition of an infection as being a biofilm disease starts the process of explaining its resistance to antibiotic therapy and to host defense mechanisms. |
