Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen that is a common cause of
nosocomial infections, particularly pneumonia, infection in immunocompromised hosts, and …

The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular
mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress …

Abstract The Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are attributable to matrix-enclosed
aggregates known as biofilms. Biofilms are root cause of industrial biofouling and …

In human pathophysiology, the clash between microbial infection and host immunity
contributes to multiple diseases. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a classical example of this …

The global emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria is a growing threat to
antibiotic therapy. The chromosomally encoded drug efflux mechanisms that are ubiquitous …

The Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer
membrane that plays a key role in host–pathogen interactions with the innate immune …

Background The airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are highly complex, subject to
various environmental conditions as well as a distinct microbiota. Pseudomonas aeruginosa …

Chronic lower airway infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major contributor to
morbidity and mortality in individuals suffering from the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF) …

Respiratory cilia are the driving force of the mucociliary escalator, working in conjunction
with secreted airway mucus to clear inhaled debris and pathogens from the conducting …

The genus Burkholderia contains large number of diverse species which include many
clinically important organisms, phytopathogens, as well as environmental species. However …
