The slime layers of bacteria are associated with the formation of biofilms, which are typically found on teeth. They are associated as a co-op of many different bacteria.

They are the scum in toilet bowls or shower stalls or plaque on teeth.

Biofilms are the squatters of chronic infection. They congregate, slime, and linger on surfaces in the human body. These drug-resistant communities of bacteria are hard to evict. Until the late seventies, no one even knew biofilms existed. Scientists thought most of the bacterial world was made up of free-floating bacteria. They developed antibiotics and vaccines using bacteria floating in a test tube. But biofilms are bacteria's natural and preferred habitat.
