Abstract
The concepts on the nature of antibiofilm agents and strategies for their search, which exist in modern literature, are analyzed. A new classification of these compounds is proposed, with subdivision into four major classes depending on their mechanism of action. An advanced system of screening for the pro- and antibiofilm agents is proposed, which will make it possible to improve the efficiency of selection and to expand the spectrum of these compounds.
