Bacterial biofilms are often defined as communities of surface-attached bacteria and are
typically depicted with a classic mushroom-shaped structure characteristic of Pseudomonas …

The growing increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria has led to the search for new
antibacterial agents capable of overcoming the resistance problem. In recent years …

The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular
mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress …

Biofilm is a complex structure of microbiome having different bacterial colonies or single type
of cells in a group; adhere to the surface. These cells are embedded in extracellular …

Flavonoids are one of the largest classes of small molecular secondary metabolites
produced in different parts of the plant. They display a wide range of pharmacological and …

Biofilm formation in living organisms is associated to tissue and implant infections, and it has
also been linked to the contribution of antibiotic resistance. Thus, understanding biofilm …

Bacterial biofilms are formed by communities that are embedded in a self-produced matrix of
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Importantly, bacteria in biofilms exhibit a set …

Introduction: Biofilm formation represents a protected mode of growth that renders bacterial
cells less susceptible to antimicrobials and to killing by host immune effector mechanisms …

Antibiotic resistance is one of the major challenges facing modern medicine worldwide. The
past few decades have witnessed rapid progress in our understanding of the multiple factors …

Biofilms have several characteristics that ensure their survival in a range of adverse
environmental conditions, including high cell numbers, close cell proximity to allow easy …
