SUMMARY:Ecology\, Applied and Otherwise\, of Phage-Biofilm Interactions -

DESCRIPTION:Appreciation of virus-biofilm ecological interactions remains 
 poorly developed\, as too is our understanding of the applied ecology of b
 acteriophage-biofilm interactions during phage therapy. A major issue is t
 hat biofilms tend to be easily cleared using phages in the laboratory\, mo
 stly readily if not necessarily trivially cleared using phages in the clin
 ic\, and so far as we know little impacted by phages in the environment. H
 ere I consider both the ecology and applied ecology of phage exploitation 
 and/or eradication of biofilms\, exploring in particular a combination of 
 the population biological\, physiological\, genetical\, and clinical susce
 ptibility of biofilms to phages.
