What is Bacterial Biofilm?

Bacterial Biofilms are densely packed mixtures of bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae, and microbes that stick together in a slimy layer that can grow and adhere to any wounds and surface areas. You can find biofilms almost everywhere. 

Researchers estimated that 60-80% of microbial infections in the body are caused by bacteria growing as a biofilm.

Why You Should Know about Bacterial Biofilm

Biofilms can be both good and bad. Biofilm’s job is to help break down natural waste and keep things balanced. Still, on the flip side, Biofilm can cause trouble when an overwhelming number of bacteria grows or your immune system is compromised. Biofilm can build up anywhere, such as dental plaque, where a slimy buildup of bacteria forms on the surface of the teeth. Other examples of where you can find buildup biofilm:

• Pond scum or slippery submerged rocks
• Clogged pipes and drains
• Shower stalls
• Toilet bowls
• Even pet water bowls
• In hospitals, Biofilm can develop on medical devices (for example, knee replacements, catheters, implants, contact lenses, prosthetic values) due to poor cleaning and causing infections.

Bacterial Biofilms can cause various infections, both mild and severe. Here are a few samples to be aware of:

1. Dental: Biofilm can develop on your teeth, leading to plaque buildup, cavities, and gum problems 
2. Lingering Lung Infections: In diseases like cystic fibrosis, biofilms in the lungs can cause persistent infections that are difficult to clear.
3. Medical Device Dangers:  As mentioned, medical devices like catheters and implants are a source of biofilm buildups, causing infections that are resistant to antibiotics.
4. Wound Woes: Biofilms on chronic wounds can slow healing and even cause more severe infections.

What are Some Bacterial Biofilm Symptoms

• Chronic infections that do not respond to antibiotics.
• Having a persistent fever, pain, and other symptoms following surgery and does not respond to antibiotic treatment.
• Wounds with drainage problems, delayed or incomplete healing, or have an unpleasant odor. 
• If you have a history of treatment resistance, such as yeast infection or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), you most likely have a biofilm infection—approximately 80% of GI infections are caused by biofilm-producing microbes. 

Why is Bacterial Biofilm challenging to detect?

There are layers of Biofilm where bacteria lives within bacteria. Swabs and cultures do not always detect positive results, and stool samples and bacteria in the GI tract do not always contain biofilm bacteria. 

Why a Compromised Immune System Can’t Fight a Bacterial Biofilm Growth

Think of your immune system as a shield against germs. It’s a complex network of cells, proteins, and organs working together to keep you healthy. When your immune system is compromised, it’s like having a weakened shield due to medical conditions, medications, or specific treatments like chemotherapy.

What Happens During a Bacterial Biofilm Attack When You Have a Compromised Immune System

When your immune system is weakened, it’s less effective at identifying and attacking threats, including the germs within a biofilm, giving it a chance to flourish and cause problems. Here’s how it plays out:

1. Limited Defense: Your weakened immune system struggles to defend against the Biofilm germs robustly.
2. Inflammation: Your immune system might sometimes overcompensate and trigger inflammation to fight the Biofilm, causing tissue damage.
3. Resistance to Treatment: Biofilm’s protective shield makes it hard for antibiotics and immune cells to penetrate and eliminate the germ, making the infections linked to biofilms often harder to treat.
4. Persistent Infections: Because your immune system is compromised, it might have difficulty clearing the infection, leading to recurrent or chronic illnesses.

Keeping Biofilm Healthy – The key is to maintain a healthy balance:

1. Good Hygiene: Just like brushing your teeth to keep them clean, surfaces need regular cleaning to prevent harmful germs from setting up damaging biofilms.
2. Proper Cleaning Products: Some cleaning products are superheroes in busting biofilms. Look for cleaners that specifically mention breaking down biofilms. Proper cleaning will create an environment where good germs can thrive and minimize harmful germs. 
3. Regularly cleaning and keeping surfaces free of moisture and food residue is the best defense against biofilms. 
4. Stay Informed: Know where biofilms can cause problems and take preventive measures. Read and ask questions. Ask hospitals, doctors, or dentists what special techniques to sanitize their medical equipment.
5. Expert Help: Talk to your healthcare provider if biofilms become a big issue. 

Natural Ways to Eliminate Bacterial Biofilms

• Cranberry juice or supplements
• Butyrate as a Biofilm treatment
• Bacteriophages as Biofilm Disruptors
• Phosphatidylcholine (PC) as a Biofilm Disruptor
• Build Your Immune System with Reflexology

Diet to Support Your Immune System

Our daily diets create an overall environment in our bodies. We can make our physical environment more or less favorable to illnesses and diseases through diet. The proper nutrients can boost our immune system’s competence. A diet rich in plant-based whole foods and minimizing refined carbohydrates and non-organic meat has been shown to promote a healthy immune system.
