Wound healing is characterized by complex, orchestrated, spatiotemporal dynamic
processes. Recent findings demonstrated suitable local microenvironments were …

Biofilm formation in living organisms is associated to tissue and implant infections, and it has
also been linked to the contribution of antibiotic resistance. Thus, understanding biofilm …

Foot infections are the main disabling complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. These
infections can lead to lower-limb amputation, increasing mortality and decreasing the quality …

The influence of microorganisms growing as sessile communities in a large number of
human infections has been extensively studied and recognized for 30–40 years, therefore …

Microorganisms coexist in a complex milieu of bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses on or
within the human body, often as multifaceted polymicrobial biofilm communities at mucosal …

Staphylococcus aureus–human interactions result in a continuum of outcomes from
commensalism to pathogenesis. S. aureus is a clinically important pathogen that …

Biofilms are population of cells growing in a coordinated manner and exhibiting resistance
towards hostile environments. The infections associated with biofilms are difficult to control …

Chronic wound infections are typically polymicrobial; however, most in vivo studies have
focused on monospecies infections. This project was designed to develop an in vivo …

Most infections result from colonization by more than one microbe. Within such polymicrobial
infections, microbes often display synergistic interactions that result in increased disease …

The model of biofilm infection was first proposed over a decade ago. Recent scientific
advances have added much to our understanding of biofilms, usually polymicrobial …
