Bacteria can form single-and multispecies biofilms exhibiting diverse features based upon
the microbial composition of their community and microenvironment. The study of bacterial …

The remarkable tolerance of bacterial biofilms to antimicrobial drugs underpins their role in
chronic and recurring infections. Staphylococcus aureus biofilms are embedded in an …

A bacterial biofilm is a structured community of bacteria in a self-produced extracellular
matrix, adherent to an inert surface or biological tissue. The involvement of biofilm in a …

The spoilage potential of Brettanomyces bruxellensis in wine is strongly connected with the
aptitude of this yeast to enter in a Viable But Non Culturable (VBNC) state when exposed to …

Colonisation of the human skin by Staphylococcus aureus is a precursor for a variety of
infections ranging from boils to sepsis and pneumonia. The rapid emergence of methicillin …

Background: Alpha-mangostin (α-MG) is a natural xanthone reported to exhibit rapid
bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria, and may therefore have potential clinical …

While considerable research has focused on studying individual-species, we now face the
challenge of determining how interspecies interactions alter bacterial behaviours and …

Staphylococcus epidermidis is part of the commensal microbiota of the skin and mucous
membranes, though it can also act as a pathogen in certain scenarios, causing a range of …

Background Previous studies found differences in the utilization of different carbon sources
during biofilm formation by Bacillus cereus. Illumina HiSeq high-throughput sequencing …

Clostridium perfringens is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause food poisoning in
humans and various enterotoxaemias in animal species. Recently, C. perfringens was …
