In human pathophysiology, the clash between microbial infection and host immunity
contributes to multiple diseases. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a classical example of this …

The increase of resistant bacteria puts a huge pressure on the antimicrobials in current use.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) results from antibiotic misuse and abuse over many years …

The last decade brought a spectacular development of so‐called environmental (e) DNA
studies. In general,“environmental DNA” is defined as DNA isolated from environmental …

Notably, bacterial biofilm formation is increasingly recognized as a passive virulence factor
facilitating many infectious disease processes. In this review we will focus on bacterial …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major health challenge that causes recalcitrant multidrug-
resistant infections, especially in immunocompromised and hospitalized patients. P …

Acute infections caused by pathogenic bacteria have been studied extensively for well over
100 years. These infections killed millions of people in previous centuries, but they have …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading cause of nosocomial infections due to its increased
antibiotic resistance and virulence. The ability of A. baumannii to form biofilms contributes to …

Biofilm formation constitutes an alternative lifestyle in which microorganisms adopt a
multicellular behavior that facilitates and/or prolongs survival in diverse environmental …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a key pathogen of chronic infections in the lungs of cystic
fibrosis patients and in patients suffering from chronic wounds of diverse etiology. In these …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to a variety of antimicrobials and can
