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

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 …

Biofilms are surface-attached groups of microbial cells encased in an extracellular matrix
that are significantly less susceptible to antimicrobial agents than non-adherent, planktonic …

Biofilm refers to the complex, sessile communities of microbes found either attached to a
surface or buried firmly in an extracellular matrix as aggregates. The biofilm matrix …

As a complex microbial aggregate, biofilm is a group behavior of bacterial ability to adapt to
the environment. Bacteria produce biofilm substrates that enhance their tolerance to stress …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major health challenge that causes recalcitrant multidrug-
resistant infections, especially in immunocompromised and hospitalized patients. P …

Microbes have remarkable capabilities to attach to the surface of implanted medical devices
and form biofilms that adversely impact device function and increase the risk of multidrug …

In cystic fibrosis (CF) airways, Pseudomonas aeruginosa forms cellular aggregates called
biofilms that are thought to contribute to chronic infection. To form aggregates, P. aeruginosa …

Biofilms have conventionally been perceived as dense bacterial masses on surfaces,
following the five-step model of development. Initial biofilm research focused on surface …

Acute infections caused by pathogenic bacteria have been studied extensively for well over
100 years. These infections killed millions of people in previous centuries, but they have …
