Biofilms are surface-attached groups of microbial cells encased in an extracellular matrix
that are significantly less susceptible to antimicrobial agents than non-adherent, planktonic …

Recently, it was proposed that there is a common mechanism behind the activity of
bactericidal antibiotics, involving the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However …

Highlights•Biofilms may have evolved as an adaptive response to environmental
stresses.•Biofilm formation is a complex process involving sophisticated regulatory …

Bacteria form multicellular communities known as biofilms that cause two thirds of all
infections and demonstrate a 10 to 1000 fold increase in adaptive resistance to conventional …

The significance of extracellular DNA (eDNA) in biofilms was overlooked until researchers
added DNAse to a Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm and watched the biofilm disappear …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms and the capacity of the bacterium to coexist and interact
with a broad range of microorganisms have a substantial clinical impact. This review focuses …

The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrugresistant bacterial
strains, and therefore a current concern for food safety and human health. The interest for …

Abstract Titania (TiO2)-based nanocomposites subjected to light excitation are remarkably
effective in eliciting microbial death. However, the mechanism by which these materials …

Bacteria encounter a myriad of stresses in their natural environments, including, for
pathogens, their hosts. These stresses elicit a variety of specific and highly regulated …
