Acinetobacter baumannii is undoubtedly one of the most successful pathogens responsible
for hospital-acquired nosocomial infections in the modern healthcare system. Due to the …

Chronic and recurrent bacterial infections are frequently associated with the formation of
biofilms on biotic or abiotic materials that are composed of mono-or multi-species cultures of …

Gram-negative microorganisms are a significant cause of infection in both community and
nosocomial settings. The increase, emergence, and spread of antimicrobial resistance …

Biofilms are heterogeneous structures composed of bacterial cells surrounded by a matrix
and attached to solid surfaces. The bacteria here are 100 to 1,000 times more tolerant to …

Bacterial biofilms are highly recalcitrant to antibiotic therapies due to multiple tolerance
mechanisms. The involvement of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a wide range of biofilm …

Background is provided on biofilms, including their formation, tolerance mechanisms,
structure, and morphology within the context of chronic wounds. The features of biofilms in …

Biofilm formation of microorganisms causes persistent tissue and foreign body infections
resistant to treatment with antimicrobial agents. Up to 80% of human bacterial infections are …

In this study, we aimed to examine the relationships between antibiotic resistance, biofilm
formation, and biofilm-specific resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. The …

The presence of an abnormal amount of single-stranded DNA in the bacterial cell constitutes
a genotoxic alarm signal that induces the SOS response, a broad regulatory network found …

Bacterial biofilms are the basis of many persistent diseases. The persistence of these
infections is primarily attributed to the increased antibiotic resistance exhibited by the cells …
