Abstract
The human gut microbiome consists of diverse bacterial communities containing both beneficial commensal bacteria and, at times, pathogenic strains. In vitro studies on bacterial biofilms have established that bacteria can form cohesive communities, also known as biofilms, that provide protection from mechanical and chemical factors, including shear forces due to fluid flow, antimicrobial compounds, and even antibiotic drugs. However, how individual cell behaviors and the resulting social phenotypes of bacterial communities change over time remains largely unknown.
