Most bacteria attach to biotic or abiotic surfaces and are embedded in a complex matrix
which is known as biofilm. Biofilm formation is especially worrisome in clinical settings as it …

The extracellular matrix is a critical component of microbial biofilms, such as dental plaque,
maintaining the spatial arrangement of cells and coordinating cellular functions throughout …

Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell communication system that exists widely in the microbiome
and is related to cell density. The high-density colony population can generate a sufficient …

With the growing demand for next-generation health care, the integration of electronic
components into implantable medical devices (IMDs) has become a vital factor in achieving …

Bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are a functionally diverse translocation
superfamily. They consist mainly of two large subfamilies:(i) conjugation systems that …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication mechanism between bacteria that allows specific
processes to be controlled, such as biofilm formation, virulence factor expression, production …

To prevent surgical site infection (SSI), which significantly increases the rate morbidity and
mortality, eliminating microorganisms is prominent. Antimicrobial resistance is identified as a …

BACKGROUND Microbial communities are ubiquitous on Earth. The microbiota of different
habitats are diverse and have distinct functional traits, but there are common ecological …

Chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori cagA-positive strains is the strongest risk factor for
gastric cancer. The cagA gene product, CagA, is delivered into gastric epithelial cells via the …

Abstract oriTfinder is a web server that facilitates the rapid identification of the origin of
