- List and describe the steps of biofilm formation. Explain how and where (specific places and equipment) biofilms can be harmful in a health care setting. Include an example of a microbe commonly known to form biofilms in the health care setting. Along with that example, explain what preventative measures can be taken to prevent a biofilm of that microbe from forming.arrow_forwardbased on the article What happens to the microbial environment as cheeses like Gouda, Cheddar, or Parmesan are aged?
