Most free-living bacteria can attach to surfaces and aggregate to grow into multicellular
communities encased in extracellular polymeric substances called biofilms. Biofilms are …

Surface-associated microbial communities, called biofilms, are present in all environments.
Although biofilms play an important positive role in a variety of ecosystems, they also have …

The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens has evolved into a global health
problem as current treatment options are failing for infections caused by pan-resistant …

Persistent infections involving slow-growing or non-growing bacteria are hard to treat with
antibiotics that target biosynthetic processes in growing cells. Consequently, there is a need …

Owing to their preservative and antimicrobial effects, postbiotics (metabolic byproducts of
probiotics) are promising natural components for the food industry. Therefore, the present …

Biofilm has garnered a lot of interest due to concerns in various sectors such as public
health, medicine, and the pharmaceutical industry. Biofilm-producing bacteria show a …

Diabetic patients often have ulcers on their lower-limbs that are infected by multiple biofilm-
forming genera of bacteria, and the elimination of the biofilm has proven highly successful in …

Naturally occurring cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and their mimics form a diverse
class of antibacterial agents currently validated in preclinical and clinical settings for the …

Azole compounds are an important class of nitrogen heterocycles with electron-rich
property. This special structure endows azole-based derivatives easily bind with the …

Biofilms are often more resistant to toxic chemicals such as heavy metals and antimicrobial
agents than planktonic cells. Nanosilver has a broad range of applications with strong …
