Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as one of the leading
causes of persistent human infections. This pathogen is widespread and is able to colonize …

Surface-attached colonies of bacteria known as biofilms play a major role in the
pathogenesis of device-related infections. Biofilm colonies are notorious for their resistance …

Bacterial responses to antibiotics are concentration-dependent. At high concentrations,
antibiotics exhibit antimicrobial activities on susceptible cells, while subinhibitory …

Subminimal inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics have been shown to induce bacterial
biofilm formation. Few studies have investigated antibiotic-induced biofilm formation in …

Chronic wounds are a major global health problem. Their management is difficult and costly,
and the development of antibiotic resistance by both planktonic and biofilm-associated …

Staphylococcus aureus is often involved in severe infections, in which the effects of bacterial
virulence factors have great importance. Antistaphylococcal regimens should take into …

The endophytic fungus Penicillium restrictum was isolated from the stems of a milk thistle
(Silybum marianum) plant. In culture, the fungus produced distinct red guttates, which have …

Biofilms are associated with persistence of Staphylococcus aureus infections and
therapeutic failures. Our aim was to set up a pharmacodynamic model comparing antibiotic …

We investigated the numbers of planktonic and biofilm cells and the expression levels of
genes encoding efflux pumps and biofilm-related proteins in 10 clinical isolates of multi-drug …

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the formidable and recalcitrant complications after
orthopedic surgery, and inhibiting biofilm formation on the implant surface is considered …
