Drug resistance by pathogenic microbes has emerged as a matter of great concern to
mankind. Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi employ multiple defense mechanisms …

Antibiotic resistance is a massive and serious threat to human welfare and healthcare. Apart
from being genetically resistant to antibiotics, the other important mechanism by which …

Microbes are hardly seen as planktonic species and are most commonly found as biofilm
communities in cases of chronic infections. Biofilms are regarded as a biological condition …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that are formed on and attached to living or
nonliving surfaces and are surrounded by an extracellular polymeric material. Biofilm …

Biofilms are communities of aggregated bacterial cells embedded in a self-produced
extracellular polymeric matrix. Biofilms are recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment and immune …

Biofilm-dispersing enzymes degrade the extracellular polymeric matrix surrounding bacterial
biofilms, disperse the microbial community and increase their susceptibility to antibiotics and …

Introduction: Diabetic foot ulcers, especially when they become infected, are a leading
cause of morbidity and may lead to severe consequences, such as amputation. Optimal …

The treatment of lung infection in the context of cystic fibrosis (CF) is limited by a biofilm
mode of growth of pathogenic organisms. When compared to planktonically grown bacteria …

Peptides in general hold much promise as a major ingredient in novel supramolecular
assemblies. They may become essential in vaccine design, antimicrobial chemotherapy …

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a devastating complication, affecting around 15% of diabetic
patients and representing a leading cause of non-traumatic amputations. Notably, the risk of …
