Bacterial biofilms demonstrate high broad-spectrum adaptive antibiotic resistance and
cause two thirds of all infections, but there is a lack of approved antibiofilm agents. Unlike …

During the current pandemic, chemical disinfectants are ubiquitously and routinely used in
community environments, especially on common touch surfaces in public settings, as a …

A biofilm can be defined as a community of microorganisms adhering to a surface and
surrounded by a complex matrix of extrapolymeric substances. It is now generally accepted …

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 …

Microbes tend to attach to available surfaces and readily form biofilms, which is problematic
in healthcare settings. Biofilms are traditionally associated with wet or damp surfaces such …

Chlorination is commonly used to control levels of bacteria in drinking water; however,
viable bacteria may remain due to chlorine resistance. What is concerning is that surviving …

Biofilms are ubiquitous in healthcare settings. By nature, biofilms are less susceptible to
antimicrobials and are associated with healthcare-associated infections (HAI). Resistance of …

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a biofilm-producing seafood-borne pathogen that causes
gastrointestinal disease in humans. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the elimination …

Biofilms are surface-associated microbial communities resistant to sanitizers and
antimicrobials. Various interactions that can contribute to increased resistance occur …

This review examined 3655 articles on benzalkonium chloride (BKC), benzethonium
chloride (BZT) and chloroxylenol (CHO) aiming to understand their impact on antimicrobial …
