The growth of bacteria as structured aggregates termed biofilms leads to their protection
from harsh environmental conditions such as physical and chemical stresses, shearing …

Studies of biopsies from infectious sites, explanted tissue and medical devises have
provided evidence that biofilms are the underlying cause of a variety of tissue-associated …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative pathogen that has become an important
cause of infection, especially in patients with compromised host defense mechanisms. It is …

Abstract The Gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is found ubiquitously
within the environment and is recognised as an opportunistic human pathogen that …

The microtiter plate (also called 96-well plate) assay for studying biofilm formation is a
method which allows for the observation of bacterial adherence to an abiotic surface. In this …

In this study, we evaluated how gene expression differs in mature Pseudomonas aeruginosa
biofilms as opposed to planktonic cells by the use of RNA sequencing technology that gives …

Objectives Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known as a leading cause of nosocomial infections
worldwide. Antimicrobial resistance and biofilm production, as two main virulence factors of …

Regarded as a silent epidemic, chronic wounds are a global public health issue. Wound
healing is a complex, synchronized cascade of physiological processes restoring the …

Most microbes in the biosphere are attached to surfaces, where they experience mechanical
forces due to hydrodynamic flow and cell-to-substratum interactions. These forces likely …

Bacterial biofilm represents a multicellular community embedded within an extracellular
matrix attached to a surface. This lifestyle confers to bacterial cells protection against hostile …
