Bacterial biofilms are complex surface attached communities of bacteria held together by
self-produced polymer matrixs mainly composed of polysaccharides, secreted proteins, and …

Most free-living bacteria can attach to surfaces and aggregate to grow into multicellular
communities encased in extracellular polymeric substances called biofilms. Biofilms are …

In living organisms, biofilms are defined as complex communities of bacteria residing within
an exopolysaccharide matrix that adheres to a surface. In the clinic, they are typically the …

Metallic biomaterials are engineered systems designed to provide internal support to
biological tissues and they are being used largely in joint replacements, dental implants …

Swift developments in nanotechnology have prominently encouraged innovative discoveries
