Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2010 The ability to form biofilms is a universal attribute of bacteria. Biofilms are multicellular communities held together by a self-produced extracellular matrix. The mechanisms that different bacteria employ to form biofilms vary, frequently depending on environmental conditions and specific strain attributes.

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

Biofilm Survival Strategies in Chronic Wounds
Microorganisms, 2022 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

A Review of Biofilm Formation of Staphylococcus aureus and Its Regulation Mechanism
Antibiotics, 2022 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 extracellular matrix. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most

Biofilm, 2023 The genus Mycobacterium includes some of the deadliest pathogens of History (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae), but most of the species within the genus are environmental microorganisms. Because some of these nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species can be human pathogens, the study of these mycobacterial biofilms has increased during ...

Biofilm is a major virulence determinant in bacterial colonization of chronic skin ulcers independently from the multidrug resistant phenotype [PDF]
, 2017 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).
