The formation of multicellular microbial communities, called biofilms, starts from the
adhesion of a few planktonic cells to the surface. The transition from a free-living planktonic …

Electroactive biofilms (EABFs) generated by electrochemically active microorganisms have
many potential applications in bioenergy and chemicals production. Biofilm electroactivity …

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections affecting
humans, and uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the etiological agent in 75% to 95 …

Escherichia coli is a predominant species among facultative anaerobic bacteria of the
gastrointestinal tract. Both its frequent community lifestyle and the availability of a wide array …

Biofilm‐mediated infections in the hospital environment have a significant negative impact
on patient health. This study aimed to investigate biofilm production in vitro and the …

Bacterial extracellular polysaccharides have been shown to mediate many of the cell‐to‐cell
and cell‐to‐surface interactions that are required for the formation, cohesion and …

We have defined a sensitivity profile for 22 antibiotics by extending previous work testing the
entire KEIO collection of close to 4,000 single-gene knockouts in Escherichia coli for …

Here, we characterized released-exopolysaccharides (r-EPS) from Lactobacillus
acidophilus A4 with the goal of identifying natural compounds that represses biofilm …

The development of surface-attached biofilm bacterial communities is considered an
important source of nosocomial infections. Recently, bacterial interference via signaling …

Folded proteins are assumed to be built upon fixed scaffolds of secondary structure, α-
helices and β-sheets. Experimentally determined structures of> 58,000 non-redundant …
