New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Microbial Biofilms is divided into three sections: microbial adhesion/biofilms in medical settings, microbial adhesion/biofilms in agriculture, and microbial adhesion/biofilm in the environment and industry. Chapters cover adhesion and biofilm formation by pathogenic microbes on tissue and on indwelling medical devices, including sections on human infections, microbial communication during biofilm mode of growth, host defense and antimicrobial resistance, and more. Other sections cover the biofilms of agriculturally important and environmental friendly microbes, including biofilm formation on plants, in soil, and in aquatic environments.
Finally, the latest scientific research on microbial adhesion and biofilm formation in the environment and in industry is covered.

Graduate, post- graduate, PhD students and researcher scholars working in the field of biotechnology and bio-engineering as well as industrial microbiology and soil microbiology researchers. Researcher and healthcare practitioners seeking better understanding of fungal and bacteria biofilms.
Dr. Yadav’s research group has identified biofilm related genes and their pathway in both bacteria and fungi. And have identified the potential anti-biofilm compounds (synthetic and natural), and also studied genomic, proteomics and mechanism of biofilm formation by single species and multi-species using in vitro and in vivo models. Dr Yadav has published more than 35 research articles on in peer re
