Abstract
⺠We studied the effects of antibiotics detected in river waters on biofilm communities. ⺠Biofilm switch to more polluted waters evidenced responses of bacteria communities. ⺠Bacteria mortality increased and enzymes activity decreased in switched biofilms. ⺠Actinobacteria abundance increased in switched biofilms. ⺠Biofilm bacteria responses showed significant correlation with antibiotic levels.
