Many bacteria can infect and persist inside their hosts for long periods of time. This can be
due to immunosuppression of the host, immune evasion by the pathogen and/or ineffective …

A biofilm is a community of microbes that typically inhabit on surfaces and are encased in an
extracellular matrix. Biofilms display very dissimilar characteristics to their planktonic …

Among other things wound healing requires restoration of macro-and microcirculation as
essential conditions for healing. 1, 2 One of the most 'immediate'requirements is oxygen …

The main driver behind biofilm research is the desire to understand the mechanisms
governing the antibiotic tolerance of biofilm-growing bacteria found in chronic bacterial …

Biofilm is a sessile bacterial accretion embedded in self-producing matrix. It is the root cause
of about 80% microbial infections in human. Among them, E. coli biofilms are most prevalent …

Bacteria often live in biofilms, which are microbial communities surrounded by a secreted
extracellular matrix. Here, we demonstrate that hydrodynamic flow and matrix organization …

Increasing antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacterial species is a serious public
health problem and has prompted research examining the antibacterial effects of alternative …

Surfactants are widely used as detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, foaming agents and
dispersants in the cosmetics, hygiene, food and oil industries. Their use in a clinical setting …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a radical diatomic gas molecule that, at low concentrations, plays
important signaling roles in both eukaryotes and bacteria. In recent years, it has become …

Examination of clinical samples indicates bacterial biofilms are present in the majority of
chronic wounds, and substantial evidence suggests biofilms contribute significantly to …
