Biofilms have always been known for resistance to antibiotic treatment. There are many reasons for this ability to survive. Some bacteria, once they infect a host, elect to take on a ‘planktonic'', or nomadic, lifestyle in order to maximize nutrient availability. Others, however, elect to congregate with other microorganisms, settling in one area and creating a single ‘sessile'' organism in order to provide mutual protection for the entire colony. In fact, the act of collecting many different bacteria into a single organism makes the entire colony about “500 times more resistant to antibacterial agents” (Costerton, et al.) than a single planktonic bacterium that simply settles on a surface. The main reason that biofilm is so much more resistant to antibiotic treatment than its planktonic counterpart is that biofilm microorganisms tend to specialize in each others'' functions, allowing for reduced antibiotic penetration, the expression of biofilm-specific genes, and the specialization of certain cells into a more dormant form of existence called persister cells (Lewis).

This is an introduction to one of the great periods of Western art and provides a clear, dramatic account of the French art world under Louis XIII and Louis XIV. Drawing on research that places the art of the period in its context of religious and philosophical ideas, Christopher Allen provides the means for the reader to judge the meaning, relevance, success or failure of the art of this period.

Book DescriptionThe seventeenth century has always been considered the golden age?the grand siecle ?of French culture. The reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV witnessed an unprecedented flowering of literature and philosophy, of

Welcome to a new way to learn Haskell. Perhaps you are coming to this book frustrated by previous attempts to learn Haskell. Perhaps you have only the faintest notion of what Haskell is. Perhaps you are coming here because you are not convinced that anything will ever be better than Common Lisp/Scala/Ruby/whatever language you love, and you want to argue with us. Perhaps you were just looking for the 18 billionth (n.b.: this number may be inaccurate) monad tutorial, certain that this time around you will understand monads once and for all. Whatever your situation, welcome and read on! It is our goal here to make Haskell as clear, painless, and practical as we can, no matter what prior experiences you're bringing to the table.
