Due to the global threat of rising antimicrobial resistance, novel antibiotics are urgently
needed. We investigate natural products from Myxobacteria as an innovative source of such …

This study assessed the efficacy of tin and Polyethylenglycol (PEG-3) tallow
aminopropylamine in different concentrations on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilms …

Featured Application A detailed investigation (including kinetic analysis) of the reproductible
thermal signal produced by bacterial growth can lead to the development of alternative …

Nucleic acid-based materials showcase an increasing potential for antimicrobial drug
delivery. Although numerous reports on drug-loaded DNA nanoparticles outline their pivotal …

Background: The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern globally and a
deeper understanding of AMR gene carriage vs usage is vital for future responses to reduce …

Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a collection of intrinsically drug-resistant gram-
negative bacteria that cause life-threatening pulmonary disease in people with cystic fibrosis …

Besides the well-known problems associated with antibiotic resistance, treatment of
bacterial infections is hampered by the fact that bacteria often reside in biofilms. One of the …

The challenges of defining the biofilm phenotype has been clear for decades. Many
biomarkers for biofilm are known, but methods for identifying these are often invasive and/or …

Background: The mortality of extensively drug‑resistant Gram‑negative (XDR GN) bacilli‑
induced ventilator‑associ‑ated pneumonia (VAP) is extremely high. The purpose of this …

Microbial biofilms account for up to 80% of all bacterial infections. They are described as
small structural communities of bacteria which are embedded in a self-produced …
