Abstract

A three-dimensional computer model of bio-film dynamics was developed as a tool for investigating mechanisms of protection from antimicrobial agents in bio-films. The differences between the protective mechanisms predicted in these simulations could guide the design of experiments to discriminate antimicrobial tolerance mechanisms in biofilms.
