Chronic infections caused by microbial biofilms represent an important clinical challenge.
The recalcitrance of microbial biofilms to antimicrobials and to the immune system is a major …

Most bacteria in nature exist in aggregated communities known as biofilms, and cells within
a biofilm demonstrate major physiological changes compared to their planktonic …

The role of food‐producing environments in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial
resistance (AMR) in EU plant‐based food production, terrestrial animals (poultry, cattle and …

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a global health concern of increasing importance and
intensive study. Although biofilms are a common source of infections in clinical settings, little …

Experimental evolution experiments in which bacterial populations are repeatedly exposed
to an antimicrobial treatment, and examination of the genotype and phenotype of the …

The microbial world represents a phenomenal diversity of microorganisms from different
kingdoms of life, which occupy an impressive set of ecological niches. Most, if not all …

Salmonella spp. is one of the main foodborne pathogens around the world. It has a cyclic
lifestyle that combines host colonization with survival outside the host, implying that …

Antibiotic cycling has been proposed as a promising approach to slow down resistance
evolution against currently employed antibiotics. It remains unclear, however, to which …

Most bacteria in the natural environment have a biofilm mode of life, which is intrinsically
tolerant to antibiotics. While until now, the knowledge of biofilm formation by Acinetobacter …

Microbial biofilms can cause chronic infection. In the clinical setting, the biofilm-related
infections usually persist and reoccur; the main reason is the increased antibiotic resistance …
