Bacterial communities form biofilms on a wide range of surfaces by synthesizing a cohesive
and protective extracellular matrix. The morphology, internal structure and mechanical …

Biofilms are viscoelastic materials that are a prominent public health problem and a cause of
most chronic bacterial infections, in large part due to their resistance to clearance by the …

Conventional methods of soil stabilization employing materials, such as lime or cement,
have considerable environmental penalties due to their high embodied energy. Alternatives …

The opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a flagellated bacterium, is one of
the top model organisms for biofilm studies. To elucidate the location of bacterial flagella …

An in situ study was conducted to examine the mode of action of a 0.454% stannous fluoride
(SnF2)-containing dentifrice in controlling the composition and properties of oral biofilm …

Cells in biofilms sense and interact with their environment through the extracellular matrix.
The physicochemical properties of the matrix, particularly at the biofilm–environment …

This manuscript presents the cytotoxicity, antimicrobial activity, antibiofilm preliminary
properties, and associated therapy with commercial drugs using water-soluble tetra-cationic …

Biofilm deterioration and biofilm protection should be considered as different aspects of the
complex interactions between microbes and the surfaces of outdoor heritage (eg stones …

Microbial biofilms are viscoelastic materials formed by bacteria, which occur on solid
surfaces, at liquid interfaces, or in free solution. Although solid surface biofilms have been …

Lactic acid bacteria, in particular Lactococcus lactis, are widely used in the food industry, for
the control and/or the protection of the manufacturing processes of fermented food. While L …
