Eighty percent of bacterial infections are related to the formation of bacterial biofilm. Compared with planktonic bacteria, bacterial biofilm is 10-1 000 times more resistant to antibiotics, which is the main cause of current bacterial drug resistance. A comprehensive understanding of the characteristics and resistance mechanisms of bacteria biofilm will help us treat the stubborn infections caused by the bacterial biofilm better and solve the problem of bacterial drug resistance. In this review, the composition and quorum sensing of bacterial biofilm, two major patterns of biofilm formation and drug resistance mechanisms were presented. Furthermore, representative compounds with anti-biofilm activity and compounds synergistic with antibiotics in anti-biofilm actions were introduced. Nano drug delivery strategies used for anti-biofilm in recent years as well as a novel drug delivery system-molecularly imprinted polymer was also introduced.
