The biofilm is a bacterial colony wrapped in an auto-produced polymer matrix of
polysaccharides, proteins, and DNA. Bacterial biofilms cause persistent infections because …

The continuous emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens evoked the development of
innovative approaches targeting virulence factors unique to their pathogenic cascade …

Currently, the efficacy of antibiotics is severely affected by the emergence of the
antimicrobial resistance phenomenon, leading to increased morbidity and mortality …

Lately, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing at an exponential rate making it
important to search alternatives to antibiotics in order to combat multi-drug resistant (MDR) …

Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of nosocomial and community‐acquired infections
and contributes to significant increase in morbidity and mortality especially when associated …

As with antibiotics, we can differentiate various acquired mechanisms of bacteria-mediated
inhibition of the action of bacterial viruses (phages or bacteriophages) into ones of tolerance …

Due to the enhanced resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, researchers always try to find
effective alternatives to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections. In this context, we have …

The formation of G-quadruplex structures (G4s) in vitro from guanine (G)-rich nucleic acid
sequences of DNA and RNA stabilized with monovalent cations, typically K+ and Na+, under …

Bacterial pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and exerts a
significant burden on health-care resources. Antibiotics have long been used as first-line …

It is widely accepted that production of biofilm is a protective mechanism against various
type of stressors, including exposure to antibiotics. However, the impact of this structure on …
