Biofilms are the cause of most chronic bacterial infections. Living within the biofilm matrix,
which is made of extracellular substances, including polysaccharides, proteins, eDNA, lipids …

Microbial communities enmeshed in a matrix of macromolecules, termed as biofilms, are the
natural setting of bacteria. Exopolysaccharide is a critical matrix component of biofilms …

Biofilms are densely populated communities of microbial cells protected and held together
by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. The structure and rheological properties of …

Bacterial extracellular polysaccharides are a key constituent of the extracellular matrix
material of biofilms. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a model organism for biofilm studies and …

The formation of biofilms results from a multicellular mode of growth, in which bacteria
remain enwrapped by an extracellular matrix of their own production. Many different bacteria …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen and has been established
as a model organism to study bacterial biofilm formation. At least three exopolysaccharides …

Virtually all cells living in multicellular structures such as tissues and organs are encased in
an extracellular matrix. One of the most important features of a biofilm is the extracellular …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 produces three polysaccharides, alginate, Psl, and Pel that
play distinct roles in attachment and biofilm formation for monospecies biofilms …

Bacterial biofilms may cause chronic infections due to their ability to evade clearance by the
immune system and antibiotics. The persistent biofilms induce a hyperinflammatory state …

Enterobacteriaceae members are largely distributed in the environment and responsible for
a wide range of bacterial infections in hospitalized patients. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P …
