Biofilms have conventionally been perceived as dense bacterial masses on surfaces,
following the five-step model of development. Initial biofilm research focused on surface …

Background: Despite a growing consensus that biofilms contribute to a delay in the healing
of chronic wounds, conflicting evidence pertaining to their identification and management …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous organism that is the focus of intense research
because of its prominent role in disease. Due to its relatively large genome and flexible …

Most of the research on bacterial pathogenesis has focused on acute infections, but much
less is known about the pathogenesis of infections caused by bacteria that grow as …

Pathogenic biofilms protected by extracellular polymeric substances frequently compromise
the efficiency of antibacterial drugs and severely threaten human health. In this study, we …

Propionibacterium acnes is known primarily as a skin commensal. However, it can present
as an opportunistic pathogen via bacterial seeding to cause invasive infections such as …

Studies of biopsies from infectious sites, explanted tissue and medical devises have
provided evidence that biofilms are the underlying cause of a variety of tissue-associated …

The opportunistic gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is implicated in many
chronic infections and is readily isolated from chronic wounds, medical devices, and the …

Biofilm infections are one of the modern medical world's greatest challenges. Probably, all
non‐obligate intracellular bacteria and fungi can establish biofilms. In addition, there are …

Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is in the environment, bodily fluids, in the matrix of biofilms, and
accumulates at infection sites. eDNA can function as a nutrient source, a universal biofilm …
