    Hi all,

    I just spoke to Dr. Wolcott, a biofilm expert and a probono consultant for this film project. He provided a helpful article which includes a nice graphic of a biofilm; pls see the attached: s.

    Please note:

    – This is very technical information. Feel free to read the article, but the main thing to focus on is the illustration on p. 1320, diagram of a medical biofilm.

    – Randy suggested the importance of showing the TWO WAYS in which a biofilm colony can “seed” other colonies elsewhere in the body. These two ways are:

    1. Seeding dispersal;
    2. Detachment fragments.

    I’ll discuss / reference these stages in another post.
