title: Escaping the biofilm in more than one way: desorption, detachment or dispersion.
abstract: Biofilm bacteria have developed escape strategies to avoid stresses associated with biofilm growth, respond to changing environmental conditions, and disseminate to new locations. An ever-expanding body of research suggests that cellular release from biofilms is distinct from a simple reversal of attachment and reversion to a planktonic mode of growth, with biofilm dispersion involving sensing of specific cues, regulatory signal transduction, and consequent physiological alterations. However, dispersion is only one of many ways to escape the biofilm mode of growth. The present review is aimed at distinguishing this active and regulated process of dispersion from the passive processes of desorption and detachment by highlighting the regulatory processes and distinct phenotypes specific to dispersed cells.
