Emerging antibiotic resistance of bacteria is driving us to catastrophic failure of the healthcare system. *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* is one such pathogen that is responsible for causing nosocomial infections, urinary tract infections, cystic fibrosis, otitis media, and infections of wounds and burns. *P. aeruginosa* is a critical pathogen as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) due to its intrinsic and adaptive competence to defy antibiotics and persist as a superbug. This book covers a wide array of subjects relevant to bacterial biofilms specifically focusing on *P. aeruginosa* and associated infections. It provides readers with a clear and comprehensive overview of biofilm formation and associated detrimental impacts. In addition, this book also examines topics related to biosynthesis virulence factors by *P. aeruginosa* to facilitate biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and infections.
