The dental plaque biofilm matrix
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

Biofilm Survival Strategies in Chronic Wounds
Bacterial biofilms residing in chronic wounds are thought to have numerous survival strategies, making them extremely difficult to eradicate and resulting in long-term infections. However, much of our knowledge regarding biofilm persistence stems from in

Effect of lemongrass gel against Candida albicans in rat model of oral candidiasis [PDF]
Candidiasis is the most prevalent fungal infection found in the oral cavity. Current interventions for oral fungal infections are not very successful and require a long treatment period.

Biofilm is a major virulence determinant in bacterial colonization of chronic skin ulcers independently from the multidrug resistant phenotype [PDF]
Bacterial biofilm is a major factor in delayed wound healing and high levels of biofilm production have been repeatedly described in multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs).

Growth limiting conditions and denitrification govern extent and frequency of volume detachment of biofilms [PDF]
This study aims at evaluating the mechanisms of biofilm detachment with regard of the physical properties of the biofilm. Biofilms were developed in Couette–Taylor reactor under controlled hydrodynamic conditions and under different environmental growth ...

Clinical Impact of Antibiotics for the Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Infections
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.
