The assembly of microorganisms over a surface and their ability to develop resistance
against available antibiotics are major concerns of interest. To survive against harsh …

Biofilm is a microbial association or community attached to different biotic or abiotic surfaces
or environments. These surface‐attached microbial communities can be found in food …

Biofilm formation in living organisms is associated to tissue and implant infections, and it has
also been linked to the contribution of antibiotic resistance. Thus, understanding biofilm …

The sophisticated hierarchical structure that precisely combines contradictory mechanical
and biological characteristics is ideal for biomaterials, but it is challenging to achieve …

The emergence of multidrug resistant bacterial strains has hastened the exploration of
advanced microbicides and antibacterial techniques. Photodynamic antibacterial therapy …

Bacterial attachment to material surfaces can lead to the development of biofilms that cause
severe economic and health problems. The outcome of bacterial attachment is determined …

Background All soft and solid surface structures in the oral cavity are covered by the
acquired pellicle followed by bacterial colonization. This applies for natural structures as …

Porosity is an important material feature commonly employed in implants and tissue
scaffolds. The presence of material voids permits the infiltration of cells, mechanical …

The discovery of antibiotics has saved millions of lives, but the emergence of antibiotic‐
resistant bacteria has become another problem in modern medicine. To avoid or reduce the …

Microbes have remarkable capabilities to attach to the surface of implanted medical devices
and form biofilms that adversely impact device function and increase the risk of multidrug …
