A Complete Guidebook on Biofilm Study has emphasized the biofilm-related issues in the present context related to research and development. For this purpose, experimental design and relevant experimental protocols for the biofilm studies have been highlighted here. In addition to that, inhibitors from natural or synthetic sources against microbial biofilm development have been addressed. This approach has been further substantiated by bioinformatics as well as nanotechnology-based reports. Both, the image processing related to biofilm study and the characters of substratum associated with biofilm development have also been included for a better understanding of the beginners in this field. Further, how biofilm helps and/or hampers in food processing and waste management system, that discussion has been considered in this book. Similarly, human benefits from biofilm and reverse of it have also been included considering host-pathogen interaction, immunity aspects, and others.

Dr. Dijendra Nath Roy completed his PhD from CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata, under the Jadavpur University of India and postdoctoral research at the National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore. Dr. Roy started his career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at the National Institute of Technology- Agartala, Tripura, India, in 2013, and presently, he is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at the National Institute of Technology - Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. He has more than 25 peer-reviewed international publications along with being engaged as principal/co-principal investigator of more than five national projects on antimicrobial resistance and drug development funded by national agencies like the Department of Science and Technology (DST, Govt. of India), Department of Biotechnology (DBT, Govt. of India), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR, Govt. of India), etc. Dr. Roy has delivered numerous invited lectures at several international meetings in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Maldives, and India. Dr. Roy has already been engaged in the guidance of five Ph.D. students in the field of antimicrobial resistance and drug development. Additionally, Dr. Roy has already contributed his enormous knowledge of antimicrobial drug resistance by publishing several artciels and two international books for academicians.
