In many natural and clinical settings, bacteria are associated with some type of biotic or
abiotic surface that enables them to form biofilms, a multicellular lifestyle with bacteria …

Multidrug resistant bacteria are a global threat for human and animal health. However, they
are only part of the problem of antibiotic failure. Another bacterial strategy that contributes to …

Staphylococcus aureus is an eminent human pathogen that can colonize the human host
and cause severe life-threatening illnesses. This bacterium can reside in and infect a wide …

Exopolysaccharide is a key part of the extracellular matrix that contributes to important
mechanisms of bacterial pathogenicity, most notably biofilm formation and immune evasion …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that live attached to surfaces. Biofilm formation
has received much attention in the last decade, as it has become clear that virtually all types …

Staphylococcus aureus is a prominent human pathogen that readily adapts to host immune
defenses. Here, we show that, in contrast to Gram-negative pathogens, S. aureus induces a …

Staphylococcus aureus is a notorious opportunistic pathogen causing a plethora of
diseases. Recent research established that once phagocytosed by neutrophils and …

Bacteria live in environments that are subject to rapid changes in the availability of the
nutrients that are necessary to provide energy and biosynthetic intermediates for the …

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a pathogenic bacterium capable of developing
biofilms on food processing surfaces, a pathway leading to cross contamination of foods …

Clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus can express biofilm phenotypes promoted by the
major cell wall autolysin and the fibronectin-binding proteins or the icaADBC-encoded …
