Answer 1

The correct answer is c) biofilms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c) biofilms.

Biofilms are microbial communities that are very difficult to destroy and are responsible for various infections. They produce dental plaque and colonize medical devices, wounds, and burned tissue. Biofilms are resistant to most methods used to control microbial growth, including antibiotics. In healthcare settings, biofilms are attributed to 65% of all hospital-acquired infections.
