Abstract
This study explores the pivotal biofilm life cycle, essential for comprehending intricate processes in biofilm formation and dispersal. With profound implications for medicine, environmental science, and industrial applications, the life cycle involves initial attachment, irreversible attachment, maturation, and dispersion. Employing bibliographic analysis, the paper unravels critical aspects, unveiling key keywords, prominent research countries/regions, and significant research organizations. This comprehensive approach provides insights into the current biofilm research landscape, identifying gaps for future exploration. Biofilm's influence extends to medical conditions, environmental ecosystems, and industrial challenges, accentuating the urgency of understanding its life cycle. The study also delves into global research distribution and influential organizations, guiding collaborative efforts. As a forward-looking initiative, it proposes future research opportunities, aiming to steer advancements and address challenges in biofilm science. Ultimately, this analysis contributes to the ongoing progress of biofilm research, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and inspiring future initiatives.
