Recent insights into bacterial biofilm matrix structures have induced a paradigm shift toward
the recognition of amyloid fibers as common building block structures that confer stability to …

Biofilms of enteric bacteria are highly complex, with multiple components that interact to
fortify the biofilm matrix. Within biofilms of enteric bacteria such as Escherichia coli and …

Amyloids are a class of protein with unique self-aggregation properties, and their aberrant
accumulation can lead to cellular dysfunctions associated with neurodegenerative diseases …

In nature, bacteria primarily live in surface-attached, multicellular communities, termed
biofilms,,,,–. In medical settings, biofilms cause devastating damage during chronic and …

The significant role of biofilms in pathogenicity has spurred research into preventing their
formation and promoting their disruption, resulting in overlooked opportunities to develop …

Two decades have passed since the initial proposition that amyloids are not only (toxic)
byproducts of an unintended aggregation cascade, but that they can also be produced by an …

Biofilms are communities of bacteria that grow encased in an extracellular matrix that often
contains proteins. The spatial organization and the molecular interactions between matrix …

In bacterial biofilms, which are often involved in chronic infections, cells are surrounded by a
self‐produced extracellular matrix that contains amyloid fibres, exopolysaccharides and …

Bacterial biofilms are complex multicellular assemblies that exhibit resistance to antibiotics
and contribute to the pathogenesis of serious and chronic infectious diseases. New …

Bacterial biofilms, especially those associated with implanted medical devices, are difficult to
eradicate. Curli amyloid fibers are important components of the biofilms formed by the …
