A hallmark of biofilms is their heightened resistance to antimicrobial agents. Recent findings suggested a role for bis-(3′-5′)-cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) in the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents; however, no c-di-GMP modulating enzyme(s) contributing to the drug tolerance phenotype of biofilms has been identified.
