The dispersal phase that completes the biofilm lifecycle is of particular interest for its
potential to remove recalcitrant, antimicrobial tolerant biofilm infections. Here we found that …

Although photodynamic therapy (PDT), a therapeutic approach that involves a
photosensitizer, light and O2, has been principally considered for the treatment of specific …

Many bacteria secrete a highly hydrated framework of extracellular polymer matrix on
suitable substrates and embed within the matrix to form a biofilm. Bacterial biofilms are …

Recent advances in nanotechnology have seen the development of a number of
microbiocidal and/or anti-adhesive nanoparticles displaying activity against biofilms. In this …

Objectives Treatment of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) is hampered by the
characteristic tolerance of bacterial biofilms towards antibiotics. Our objective was to study …

The biofilm formation of microorganisms causes persistent tissue infections resistant to
treatment with antimicrobial agents. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is commonly isolated from …

A biofilm contains a consortium of cohesive bacterial cells forming a complex structure that is
a sedentary, but dynamic, community. Biofilms adhere on biotic and abiotic surfaces …

Das Darmversagen wird von den intestinalen Flüssigkeits-und Elektrolytverlusten sowie von
der ungenügenden Resorption von Makronährstoffen bestimmt und bedarf oft der individuell …

Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) toxins are a recently identified family of
polymorphic toxins, initially found in Escherichia coli. CDI toxins are found widely spread in …
