Eradication of infectious biofilms is becoming increasingly difficult due to the growing
number of antibiotic-resistant strains. This necessitates development of nonantibiotic-based …

Background Biofilm is a community of bacteria embedded in an extracellular matrix, which
can colonize different human cells and tissues and subvert the host immune reactions by …

Bacteria can generate benefits for themselves and their kin by living in multicellular, matrix-
enclosed communities, termed biofilms, which are fundamental to microbial ecology and the …

Device-associated infections (DAI) remain a serious concern in modern healthcare.
Bacterial attachment to a surface is the first step in biofilm formation, which is one of the main …

Pure culture studies have shown that biofilm dispersal can be triggered if the nutrient supply
is discontinued by stopping the flow. Stimulating biofilm dispersal in this manner would …

Biofilms are bacterial communities embedded in exopolymeric substances that form on the
surfaces of both man-made and natural structures. Biofilm formation in industrial water …

Biofilm dispersion is the final stage of biofilm development, during which biofilm cells
actively escape from biofilms in response to deteriorating conditions within the biofilm …

Microbial communities that form surface-attached biofilms must release and disperse their
constituent cells into the environment to colonize fresh sites for continued survival of their …

Biofilm is a complex microbial consortium that are embedded in a membrane structure of the
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). As a major form of microorganisms in nature …

Dissolved copper in stormwater runoff is a significant environmental problem. Biosorption of
dissolved metals using microorganisms is known as a green, low-cost and efficient method …
