Biofilms are microbial sessile communities characterized by cells that are attached to a
substratum or interface or to each other, are embedded in a self-produced matrix of …

Cell-to-cell communication is a major process that allows bacteria to sense and coordinately
react to the fluctuating conditions of the surrounding environment. In several pathogens, this …

Multiple drug resistance poses a significant threat to public health worldwide, with a
substantial increase in morbidity and mortality rates. Consequently, searching for novel …
