A community-based sessile life style is the normal mode of growth and survival for many
bacterial species. Under such conditions, cell-to-cell interactions are inevitable and …

The ability of Salmonella to form complex surface-associated communities, called biofilms,
contributes to its resistance and persistence in both host and non-host environments and is …

Attachment of potential spoilage and pathogenic bacteria to food contact surfaces and the
subsequent biofilm formation represent serious challenges to the meat industry, since these …

Bacteria and fungi have developed resistance to the existing therapies such as antibiotics
and antifungal drugs, and multiple mechanisms are mediating this resistance. Among these …

The most common and abundant polymer in nature is the linear polysaccharide cellulose,
but processing it requires a new approach since cellulose degrades before melting and …

Cellulosic sources, such as lignocellulose-rich biomass, can be mechanically or acid
degraded to produce inclusions called cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). They have several …

Salmonella spp. are environmentally persistent pathogens that have served as one of the
important models for understanding how bacteria adapt to stressful conditions. However, it …

Simple Summary Salmonella is one of the most important zoonotic pathogen agents,
causing an estimated 93.8 million cases of gastroenteritis worldwide annually, with 155,000 …

The study aimed to recover diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strains from processed ready-to-
eat (RTE) foods in Yenagoa, Nigeria and characterize them using culture-based and …

The ability to form biofilms is seen as an increasingly important colonization strategy among
both pathogenic and environmental bacteria. A survey of 185 plant‐associated …
