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

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 ...

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.
