Abstract
The article reviews data from Russian and international literature highlighted the effect of microbial biofilms on the course of the wound process. The composition of biofilms of various microorganisms and their relations within the polysaccharide matrix are given in detail. The role of biofilms in the development of microorganism resistance to antibacterial therapy and prolongation of the inflammatory process is emphasized. It is evidenced that they cause transition of the acute phase of the wound process into the chronic one.
