Microbial biofilms have caused serious concerns in healthcare, medical, and food industries
because of their intrinsic resistance against conventional antibiotics and cleaning …

Biofilm formation in living organisms is associated to tissue and implant infections, and it has
also been linked to the contribution of antibiotic resistance. Thus, understanding biofilm …

Biofilms are aggregates of bacteria, in most cases, which are resistant usually to broad-
spectrum antibiotics in their typical concentrations or even in higher doses. A trend of …

Long-term continuous monitoring (LTCM) of water quality can bring far-reaching influences
on water ecosystems by providing spatiotemporal data sets of diverse parameters and …

Non-aureus staphylococci and mammaliicocci (NASM) are one of the most common causes
of subclinical mastitis in dairy animals and the extent of damage by intramammary infections …

Biofilms are a major cause of health and environmental issues. Bacteria organized in
biofilms are much more resistant to biocides than their equivalents in the planktonic state. In …

Bacterial infections have long been a serious global health issue. Biofilm formation
complicates matters even more. The biofilm's extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) …

Biofilms are arguably the most important mode of growth of bacteria, but how antibiotic
resistance emerges and is selected in biofilms remains poorly understood. Several models …

One approach for solving the problem of antibiotic resistance and bacterial persistence in
biofilms is treatment with metals, including silver in the form of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) …

Some bacteria have coevolved to establish symbiotic or pathogenic relationships with
plants, animals or humans. With human association, the bacteria can cause a variety of …
