Plaque
The English most people already have for a biofilm.
The local lesson is unity: same idea, different rooms. None of those rooms needs a how-to for growing one.
Mouth-care public advice (brush, floss) is the only household ‘biofilm’ story this atlas will echo — and even that stays general.
Local notes
Hospital devices
Public infection-control stories, not a nursing manual.
Pipes
Plumbing slime is ecology. Do not weaponise household cleaners from this page.

Mutation and variants
Populations of genomes, not cartoon villains — RNA viruses copy sloppily, and public-health names track clusters that spread.
Familiarity 92Antibiotic resistance
A shared drug budget under selection in hospitals, farms and wastewater — stewardship, not a lab manual.
Familiarity 85Vaccines and immunity

Familiarity 94Hygiene and balance
Clean water saves lives; missing old microbial partners is a separate, still-debated immune story.
Familiarity 70Horizontal gene transfer
Sideways DNA traffic — conjugation, transduction, transformation as names and history, not protocols.
