Notably, bacterial biofilm formation is increasingly recognized as a passive virulence factor
facilitating many infectious disease processes. In this review we will focus on bacterial …

Quorum sensing is a process of cell–cell communication that allows bacteria to share
information about cell density and adjust gene expression accordingly. This process …

P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium responsible for both acute and
chronic infections. Beyond its natural resistance to many drugs, its ability to form biofilm, a …

Most of the research on bacterial pathogenesis has focused on acute infections, but much
less is known about the pathogenesis of infections caused by bacteria that grow as …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative γ-Proteobacterium which is known for its
capacity to colonize various niches, including some invertebrate and vertebrate hosts …

Bacteria encounter a myriad of stresses in their natural environments, including, for
pathogens, their hosts. These stresses elicit a variety of specific and highly regulated …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that live attached to surfaces. Biofilm formation
has received much attention in the last decade, as it has become clear that virtually all types …

The majority of current infectious diseases are almost untreatable by conventional antibiotic
therapy given the advent of multidrug-resistant bacteria. The degree of severity and the …

Bacteria communicate through the production of diffusible signal molecules termed
autoinducers. The molecules are produced at basal levels and accumulate during growth …

We review the recent advances in the understanding of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa
biofilm lifestyle from studies using in vitro laboratory setups such as flow chambers and …
