Phage therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
biofilm infections in animal studies and case reports. The aim of this study was to quantify …

The processes associated with early events in biofilm formation have become a major
research focus over the past several years. Events associated with dispersion of cells from …

Biofilms are considered to be highly resistant to antimicrobial agents. Strictly speaking, this
is not the case—biofilms do not grow in the presence of antimicrobials any better than do …

Alginate beads represent a simple and highly reproducible in vitro model system for
diffusion-limited bacterial growth. In this study, alginate beads were inoculated with …

The role of oxygen limitation in protecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains growing in
biofilms from killing by antibiotics was investigated in vitro. Bacteria in mature (48-h-old) …

In both natural and artificial environments, bacteria predominantly grow in biofilms, and
bacteria often disperse from biofilms as freely suspended single-cells. In the present study …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms embedded in extracellular polymeric
substances (EPS) matrix. Bacteria in biofilms demonstrate distinct features from their free …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen causing devastating acute
and chronic infections in individuals with compromised immune systems. Its highly notorious …

Bacterial biofilms are highly recalcitrant to antibiotic therapies due to multiple tolerance
mechanisms. The involvement of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a wide range of biofilm …

The coexistence between species that occurs in some infections remains hard to achieve in
vitro since bacterial fitness differences eventually lead to a single organism dominating the …
