Most bacteria attach to biotic or abiotic surfaces and are embedded in a complex matrix
which is known as biofilm. Biofilm formation is especially worrisome in clinical settings as it …

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 …

Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is a leading cause of nosocomial infections as this
pathogen has certain attributes that facilitate the subversion of natural defenses of the …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading cause of nosocomial infections due to its increased
antibiotic resistance and virulence. The ability of A. baumannii to form biofilms contributes to …

Chronic infections are frequently caused by polymicrobial biofilms. Importantly, these
infections are often difficult to treat effectively in part due to the recalcitrance of biofilms to …

Most biofilms in nature are formed by multiple microbial species, and such mixed-species
biofilms represent the actual lifestyles of microbes, including bacteria, fungi, viruses …

Food-processing facilities harbor a wide diversity of microorganisms that persist and interact
in multispecies biofilms, which could provide an ecological niche for pathogens to better …

An improved understanding of the diversity and composition of microbial communities
carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence genes (VGs) in aquifers …

The ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella
pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.) …

In the last decades, it has been shown that biofilm-associated infections in most cases are
caused by rather two or even more pathogens than by single microorganisms. Due to …
