Pathogenic biofilm-associated bacteria that adhere to biological or nonbiological surfaces
are a big challenge to the healthcare and food industries. Antibiotics or disinfectants often …

Both the ability of bacteria to form biofilms and communicate through quorum sensing allows
them to develop different survival or virulence traits that lead to increased bacterial …

The biological role played by essential oils extracted from aromatic plants is progressively
being recognized. This study evaluated the potential antibacterial activity of ten essential oils …

The increase of resistant bacteria puts a huge pressure on the antimicrobials in current use.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) results from antibiotic misuse and abuse over many years …

Bacterial attachment and biofilm formation cause severe hygiene problems in the food
industry. Biofilms can be formed on different equipment surfaces (stainless steel, plastic …

The emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms represents a global challenge that
has led to a search for new antimicrobial compounds. Essential oils (EOs) from medicinal …

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the antibiofilm potential of five essential oil
(EO) components with cyclic (sabinene—SAB, carveol—C1, carvone—C2) and acyclic …

Abstract Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157: H7 (EHEC) causes food‐borne
outbreaks worldwide and the bacteria form antimicrobial‐tolerant biofilm. We investigated …

Microbial biofilms represent a constant source of contamination in the food industry, being
also a real threat for human health. In fact, most of biofilm-producing bacteria are becoming …

Biofilm as a cellular conformation confers survival properties to microbial populations and
favors microbial resistance. Here, we investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antimotility …
