Biofilms are organized bacterial communities embedded in an extracellular polymeric matrix
attached to living or abiotic surfaces. The development of biofilms is currently recognized as …

Interactions between microbes are complex and play an important role in the pathogenesis
of infections. These interactions can range from fierce competition for nutrients and niches to …

Background Bacterial biofilms are predominant in natural ecosystems and constitute a
public health threat because of their outstanding resistance to antibacterial treatments and …

Inhaled antibiotic treatment of cystic fibrosis-related bacterial biofilm infections is challenging
because of the pathological environment of the lungs. Here, we present an “environment …

Currently, three major circumstances threaten the management of bacterial infections:
increasing antimicrobial resistance, expansion of chronic biofilm-associated infections, and …

Staphylococcus aureus virulence has been associated with the production of phenol soluble
modulins (PSM). PSM are known to activate, attract and lyse neutrophils. However, the …

Bacterial biofilm represents a protected mode of bacterial growth that significantly enhances
the resistance to antibiotics. Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-based nanoparticle delivery …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa MPAO1 is the parental strain of the widely utilized transposon
mutant collection for this important clinical pathogen. Here, we validate a model system to …

Biofilms are structured communities of bacterial cells encased in a self‐produced polymeric
matrix, which develop over time and exhibit temporal responses to stimuli from internal …

We demonstrate that the surface motility of the bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is
hindered by a crystalline hemispherical topography with wavelength in the range of 2–8 μm …
