The biofilm is a bacterial colony wrapped in an auto-produced polymer matrix of
polysaccharides, proteins, and DNA. Bacterial biofilms cause persistent infections because …

Multidrug resistant bacteria are a global threat for human and animal health. However, they
are only part of the problem of antibiotic failure. Another bacterial strategy that contributes to …

Biofilms are communities of aggregated bacterial cells embedded in a self-produced
extracellular polymeric matrix. Biofilms are recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment and immune …

Biofilms can be found on several living and nonliving surfaces, which are formed by a group
of microorganisms, complex assembly of proteins, polysaccharides, and DNAs in an …

A biofilm is a structured consortium of bacteria embedded in a self-produced polymer matrix
consisting of polysaccharide, protein and DNA. Bacterial biofilms cause chronic infections …

Chronic infections caused by microbial biofilms represent an important clinical challenge.
The recalcitrance of microbial biofilms to antimicrobials and to the immune system is a major …

Biofilms are assemblages of microorganisms attached to each other, or to a surface, and
encased in a protective, self-produced matrix. Such associations are now recognized as the …

Bacterial biofilms are highly recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment, which holds serious
consequences for therapy of infections that involve biofilms. The genetic mechanisms of this …

Biofilms are surface-attached groups of microbial cells encased in an extracellular matrix
that are significantly less susceptible to antimicrobial agents than non-adherent, planktonic …

Bacteria that attach to a surface and grow as a biofilm are protected from killing by
antibiotics. Reduced antibiotic susceptibility contributes to the persistence of biofilm …
