Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common human infections in both catheterized and non catheterized patients. Uropathogenic organisms may produce intracellular bacterial communities called biofilm within the bladder, largely consisting of polysaccharides which prevent the access of antibiotics, antibodies, and white blood cells. The biofilms have major medical significance as they decrease the susceptibility to the antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, the proximity of cells within a biofilm can facilitate a plasmid exchange and hence enhance the spread of antimicrobial resistance
