Biofilm Matrixome: Extracellular Components in Structured Microbial Communities.
Trends in Microbiology, 2020 Biofilms consist of microbial communities embedded in a 3D extracellular matrix. The matrix is composed of a complex array of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that contribute to the unique attributes of biofilm lifestyle and virulence.

The dental plaque biofilm matrix
Periodontology, 2021 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 the structure. The extracellular polymeric substances that comprise

Clinical Impact of Antibiotics for the Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Infections
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Bacterial biofilms are highly recalcitrant to antibiotic therapies due to multiple tolerance mechanisms. The involvement of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a wide range of biofilm-related infections often leads to treatment failures.

The non-attached biofilm aggregate
Communications Biology, 2023 Biofilms have conventionally been perceived as dense bacterial masses on surfaces, following the five-step model of development. Initial biofilm research focused on surface-attached formations, but detached aggregates have received increasing attention ...
