Biofilm is a natural form of bacterial growth ubiquitously in environmental niches. The biofilm
formation results in increased resistance to negative environmental influences including …

The mechanisms through which microbes communicate using signal molecules has inspired
a great deal of research. Microbes use this exchange of information, known as quorum …

Microorganisms grouped together into spatially-organized communities called biofilms, are
the cause of dramatic chronic infections in plants, animals and humans. In this review, the …

Excessive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has lead to the
emergence of multiple drug resistant strains. Most infectious diseases are caused by …

Cell-cell communication, or quorum sensing, is a widespread phenomenon in bacteria that
is used to coordinate gene expression among local populations. Its use by bacterial …

Increasing extent of pathogenic resistance to drugs has encouraged the seeking for new anti-
virulence drugs. Many pharmacological and pharmacognostical researches are performed …

Lung infection is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis and
is mainly dominated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The biofilm mode of growth makes …

Numerous species of bacteria employ a mechanism of intercellular communication known
as quorum sensing. This signaling process allows the cells comprising a bacterial colony to …

In the biofilm form, bacteria are more resistant to various antimicrobial treatments. Bacteria in
a biofilm can also survive harsh conditions and withstand the host's immune system …

In relation to emerging multiresistant bacteria, development of antimicrobials and new
treatment strategies of infections should be expected to become a high-priority research …
