In many natural and clinical settings, bacteria are associated with some type of biotic or
abiotic surface that enables them to form biofilms, a multicellular lifestyle with bacteria …

Staphylococci, with the leading species Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus
epidermidis, are the most frequent causes of infections on indwelling medical devices. The …

The ability to construct and maintain a structured multicellular bacterial community depends
critically on the production of extracellular matrix components (1, 2). While the biofilm matrix …

The Staphylococcus genus includes a diverse group of commensals that colonize mammals
on the skin or mucous membranes. Some of the best‐known members of this genus, such as …

Bacteria can form biofilms in natural and clinical environments on both biotic and abiotic
surfaces. The bacterial aggregates embedded in biofilms are formed by their own produced …

Implant infections in orthopaedics, as well as in many other medical fields, are chiefly
caused by staphylococci. The ability of growing within a biofilm enhances the chances of …

Increasing attention has been focused on understanding bacterial biofilms and this growth
modality's relation to human disease. In this review we explore the genetic regulation and …

Antibiotic resistance and biofilm-forming capacity contribute to the success of
Staphylococcus aureus as a human pathogen in both healthcare and community settings …

Foodborne pathogens are the main factors behind foodborne diseases and food poisoning
and thus pose a great threat to food safety. Many outbreaks have been found to be …

Exopolysaccharide is a key part of the extracellular matrix that contributes to important
mechanisms of bacterial pathogenicity, most notably biofilm formation and immune evasion …
