Biofilm-mediated bioremediation is an attractive approach for the elimination of
environmental pollutants, because of its wide adaptability, biomass, and excellent capacity …

Microbial colonization on material surfaces is ubiquitous. Biofilms derived from surface‐
colonized microbes pose serious problems to the society from both an economical …

The gut microbiota is currently one of the most studied 'organs' in animals, and fish are no
exception. A complex diversity of microbes, including bacteria, archaea, yeast and fungus …

Dental caries, a prevalent oral infectious disease, is intricately linked to the biofilm formation
on the tooth surfaces by oral microbes. Among these, Streptococcus mutans plays a central …

The modern paradigm assumes that interspecies communication of microorganisms occurs
through precise regulatory mechanisms. In particular, antagonism between bacteria or …

In recent decades, reduced antimicrobial effectiveness, increased bacterial infection, and
newly emerged microbial resistance have become global public issues, leading to an urgent …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a molecular cell-cell communication utilized by several bacteria and
some fungi. It involves cell density dependent gene expression that includes extra polymeric …

During infection, bacterial pathogens successfully sense, respond and adapt to a myriad of
harsh environments presented by the mammalian host. This exquisite level of adaptation …

Indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat microbial pathogens has caused emergence of
multiple drug resistant strains. Most infectious diseases are caused by microbes that are …

Biofilms are structured microbial communities of single or multiple populations in which
microbial cells adhere to a surface and get embedded in extracellular polymeric substances …
