Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an increasingly common competitive and biofilm organism in
healthcare infection with sophisticated, interlinked and hierarchic quorum systems (Las, Rhl …

Microporous mesh plasmonic devices have the potential to combine the biocompatibility of
microporous polymeric meshes with the capabilities of plasmonic nanostructures to enhance …

Electroactive biofilm plays a crucial rule in the electron transfer efficiency of bio-
electrochemical systems (BES). However, the slow rate of interfacial electron transfer (IET) …

Bacteria in the food chain mostly live in communities associated with surfaces known as
biofilms, which confer specific survival and adaptive abilities. In such communities, the …

To date, the mechanisms of biomineralization induced by bacterial cells in the context of
biofilm formation remain the subject of intensive studies. In this study, we analyzed the …

Biofilms are communities of interacting microbes embedded in a matrix of polymer, protein,
and other materials. Biofilms develop distinct mechanical characteristics that depend on …

Bacterial plant pathogens must cope with various environmental conditions and defenses
from their hosts for colonization and infection. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play critical roles …

Typical antibiotic treatments are often ineffectual against biofilm-related infections since
bacteria residing within biofilms have developed various mechanisms to resist antibiotics. To …

Sulfide-based biofilm processes are increasingly used for wastewater denitrification, yet little
is known about the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) composition of sulfide-oxidizing …

Anti-infection strategies against pleural empyema include the use of antibiotics and
drainage treatments, but the bacterial eradication rates remain low. A major challenge is the …
