In many natural and clinical settings, bacteria are associated with some type of biotic or
abiotic surface that enables them to form biofilms, a multicellular lifestyle with bacteria …

Background Bacterial biofilms are aggregation or collection of different bacterial cells which
are covered by self-produced extracellular matrix and are attached to a substratum …

Abstract Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important
bacterial pathogens that causes infection with a high mortality rate due to resistance to …

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health challenge worldwide, whose implications for
global health might be devastating if novel antibacterial strategies are not quickly …

Biofilms are clusters of bacteria that live in association with surfaces. Their main
characteristic is that the bacteria inside the biofilms are attached to other bacterial cells and …

Bacteriophages are ubiquitous viral predators that have primarily been studied using fast-
growing laboratory cultures of their bacterial hosts. However, microbial life in nature is …

Staphylococci, like Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis, are common colonizers of
the human microbiota. While being harmless in many cases, many virulence factors result in …

Antibiotic treatment failure is of growing concern. Genetically encoded resistance is key in
driving this process. However, there is increasing evidence that bacterial antibiotic …

Biofilms are bacterial communities that live in association with biotic or abiotic surfaces and
enclosed in an extracellular polymeric substance. Their formation on both biotic and abiotic …

Over the past few decades, we have witnessed a surge around the world in the emergence
of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This global health threat arose mainly due to the overuse and …
