The biofilm matrix can be considered to be a shared space for the encased microbial cells,
comprising a wide variety of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), such as …

Diverse microorganisms are able to grow on food matrixes and along food industry
infrastructures. This growth may give rise to biofilms. This review summarizes, on the one …

Phages differ substantially in the bacterial hosts that they infect. Their host range is
determined by the specific structures that they use to target bacterial cells. Tailed phages …

Purpose Widespread antibiotic-resistant bacteria are threatening the arsenal of existing
antibiotics. Not only are antibiotics less likely to be effective today, but their extensive use …

Against a backdrop of global antibiotic resistance and increasing awareness of the
importance of the human microbiota, there has been resurgent interest in the potential use of …

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 …

Bacteriophage particles are the most abundant biological entities on our planet, infecting
specific bacterial hosts in every known environment and being major drivers of bacterial …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative bacterium, is one of the major pathogens
implicated in human opportunistic infection and a common cause of clinically persistent …

Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect the host after successful receptor recognition
and adsorption to the cell surface. The irreversible adherence followed by genome material …

In nature, bacteria primarily live in surface-attached, multicellular communities, termed
biofilms,,,,–. In medical settings, biofilms cause devastating damage during chronic and …
