Biofilms contain cluster of microorganisms that are found to be associated with the biotic and abiotic surfaces. Biofilm formation is a dynamic process and different mechanisms are involved in their attachment and growth. The formation of microbial biofilms is an important reason for failure of antimicrobial therapy. Biofilm-associated infections represent one of the major threats of modern medicine. Consequently, various preventive and control strategies like mechanical, physical and chemical methods can be appropriately applied for controlling biofilm formation or eradicate mature biofilm. The present review will focus on describing the effective bio control and removal of biofilms. These newer bio control strategies are considered as ecofriendly and cost effective method in terms of therapeutic.
