The microbiota consists of a dynamic multispecies community of bacteria, fungi, archaea,
and protozoans, bringing to the host organism a dowry of cells and genes more numerous …

Biofilms are heterogeneous structures composed of bacterial cells surrounded by a matrix
and attached to solid surfaces. The bacteria here are 100 to 1,000 times more tolerant to …

We summarize different studies describing mechanisms through which bacteria in a biofilm
mode of growth resist mechanical and chemical challenges. Acknowledging previous …

Awareness of the role of Klebsiella pneumoniae as an important opportunistic pathogen of
the urinary tract in compromised individuals and hospitalized patients has increased over …

The Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae is responsible for
causing a spectrum of nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Globally, K …

The synthesis of nanosized particles of Ag‐doped hydroxyapatite with antibacterial
properties is of great interest for the development of new biomedical applications. The aim of …

Biofilms formed by fungal organisms are associated with drastically enhanced resistance
against most antimicrobial agents, contributing to the persistence of the fungi despite …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections. Carbapenem-
resistant K. pneumoniae are on the rise globally. The biofilm forming ability of K. pneumoni …

The aim of this study was to provide information about the biological properties of iron oxide
nanoparticles (IO‐NPs) obtained in an aqueous suspension. The IO‐NPs were …

The increasing clinical use of artificial medical devices raises the issue of microbial
contamination, which is a risk factor for the occurrence of biofilm-associated infections. A …
