Persisters refer to genetically drug susceptible quiescent (non-growing or slow growing)
bacteria that survive in stress environments such as antibiotic exposure, acidic and …

Most free-living bacteria can attach to surfaces and aggregate to grow into multicellular
communities encased in extracellular polymeric substances called biofilms. Biofilms are …

Persisters are transiently tolerant variants that allow populations to avoid eradication by
antibiotic treatment. Their antibiotic tolerance is non-genetic, not inheritable and results from …

Biofilms are aggregate of microorganisms in which cells are frequently embedded within a
self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) and adhere to each other …

Pathogenic oral biofilms are universal, chronic, and costly. Despite advances in
understanding the mechanisms of biofilm formation and persistence, novel and effective …

In addition to the well-known strategies of antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation,
bacterial populations possess an additional survival strategy to endure hostile environments …

Pathogens that infect the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts are subjected to intense
pressure due to the environmental conditions of the surroundings. This pressure has led to …

Antibiotic failure is one of the most worrying health problems worldwide. We are currently
facing an international crisis with several problematic facets: new antibiotics are no longer …

The use of central venous catheters (CVC) is associated with a risk of microbial colonization
and subsequent potentially severe infection. Microbial contamination of the catheter leads to …

In this modern era, medicine is facing many alarming challenges. Among different
challenges, antibiotics are gaining importance. Recent years have seen unprecedented …
