Importance of SigB for Listeria monocytogenes static and continuous flow biofilm formation and disinfectant resistance [PDF]
, 2010 Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen that is able to form biofilms in food processing facilities. Biofilms are generally more resistant to antimicrobial agents, making it difficult to eradicate them during cleanup procedures. So far, little is

Lichen Polyphenolic Compounds for the Eradication of Candida albicans Biofilms
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Lichens, due to their symbiotic nature (association between fungi and algae), constitute a chemical factory of original compounds. Polyphenolic compounds (depsides and depsidones) are the main constituents of lichens and are exclusively biosynthesized by

Managing sticky situations – anti-biofilm agents [PDF]
GERMS, 2016 Biofilm-related infections are accountable for increasing morbidity and disability, particularly in an era when surgery has evolved to new heights and is able to repair or replace virtually any damaged component of the human body. Bacteria have recently been redefined as “intelligent” beings, able to communicate, coordinate, and store in their ...
