severely ill and immunocompromised patients. Ubiquitously disseminated in the …

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

The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular
mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress …

Studies on biofilm related infections are gaining prominence owing to their involvement in
majority of clinical infections. Biofilm, considered as a generic mechanism for survival used …

In nature, bacteria alternate between two modes of growth: a unicellular life phase, in which
the cells are free-swimming (planktonic), and a multicellular life phase, in which the cells are …

In most environments, bacteria reside primarily in biofilms, which are social consortia of cells
that are embedded in an extracellular matrix and undergo developmental programmes …

Current microbial inhibition strategies based on planktonic bacterial physiology have been
known to have limited efficacy on the growth of biofilm communities. This problem can be …

Microbial biofilms are a fascinating subject, due to their significant roles in the environment,
industry, and health. Advances in biochemical and molecular techniques have helped in …

Bacterial biofilms widely exist in nature and seriously threaten global public health. Biofilms
always cause persistent infection and seriously aggravate the occurrence of antibiotic …

Various bacterial species cycle between growth phases and biofilm formation, of which the
latter facilitates persistence in inhospitable environments. These phases can be generally …
