Multidrug resistant bacteria are a global threat for human and animal health. However, they
are only part of the problem of antibiotic failure. Another bacterial strategy that contributes to …

The negative consequences of biofilms are widely reported. A defining feature of biofilms is
the extracellular matrix, a complex mixture of biomacromolecules, termed EPS, which …

Data indicate that prevalence of specific serovars of Salmonella enterica in human
