Microbial species colonizing host ecosystems in health or disease rarely do so alone.
Organisms conglomerate into dynamic heterotypic communities or biofilms in which …

Mucus barriers accommodate trillions of microorganisms throughout the human body while
preventing pathogenic colonization. In the oral cavity, saliva containing the mucins MUC5B …

The bacteria within supragingival biofilms participate in complex exchanges with other
microbes inhabiting the same niche. One example is the mutans group streptococci …

In the food industry, foodborne spoilage bacteria often live in mixed species and attach to

As oral bacteria grow and persist within biofilms attached to the tooth's surface, they interact
with other species to form synergistic or antagonistic exchanges that govern homeostasis for …

Trace metals are essential to all domains of life but toxic when found at high concentrations.
Although the importance of iron in host–pathogen interactions is firmly established …

Background Antiseptics are used to inhibit oral biofilm growth. However, they affect not only
