Chronic and recurrent bacterial infections are frequently associated with the formation of
biofilms on biotic or abiotic materials that are composed of mono-or multi-species cultures of …

Microbial communities enmeshed in a matrix of macromolecules, termed as biofilms, are the
natural setting of bacteria. Exopolysaccharide is a critical matrix component of biofilms …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that are attached to a surface and play a
significant role in the persistence of bacterial infections. Bacteria within a biofilm are several …

Quorum sensing is a process of cell–cell communication that allows bacteria to share
information about cell density and adjust gene expression accordingly. This process …

P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium responsible for both acute and
chronic infections. Beyond its natural resistance to many drugs, its ability to form biofilm, a …

Cell-to-cell communication is a major process that allows bacteria to sense and coordinately
react to the fluctuating conditions of the surrounding environment. In several pathogens, this …

Most bacterial pathogens have the remarkable ability to flourish in the external environment
and in specialized host niches. This ability requires their metabolism, physiology, and …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile bacterium that is found in a wide
range of biotic and abiotic habitats. It is a major human opportunistic pathogen causing …

Bacteria assume distinct lifestyles during the planktonic and biofilm modes of growth.
Increased levels of the intracellular messenger c-di-GMP determine the transition from …

In the present review, we describe and compare the molecular mechanisms that are
involved in the regulation of biofilm formation by P seudomonas putida, P seudomonas …
