Secondary metabolites profoundly affect microbial physiology, metabolism and stress
responses. Increasing evidence suggests that these molecules can modulate microbial …

Advances in biotechnology to treat and cure human disease have markedly improved
human health and the development of modern societies. However, substantial challenges …

Bacteria that cause infectious diseases adopt biofilms as one of their most prevalent
lifestyles. Biofilms enable bacteria to tolerate environmental stress and evade antibacterial …

Interspecies interactions can drive the emergence of unexpected microbial phenotypes that
are not observed when studying monocultures. The cystic fibrosis (CF) lung consists of a …

There are numerous issues associated with bacteria, particularly biofilms, which exhibit a
strong resistance to antibiotics. This is currently considered an urgent global issue owing to …

A prompt on-site, real-time method to detect bacterial antibiotic resistance is crucial for
controlling the spread of resistance. Herein, we report the use of surface-enhanced Raman …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that develops difficult-to-
treat biofilms in immunocompromised individuals, cystic fibrosis patients, and in chronic …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common opportunistic pathogens, which
causes severe nosocomial infections because of its well-known multidrug-resistance and …

Antibiotic degrading bacteria can reduce the efficacy of drug treatments by providing
antibiotic exposure protection to pathogens. While this has been demonstrated at the …

Antibiotic tolerance has become an increasingly serious crisis that has seriously threatened
global public health. However, little is known about the exogenous factors that can trigger …
