Bacterial exo-polysaccharides in biofilms: role in antimicrobial resistance and treatments
Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Bacterial biofilms are aggregation or collection of different bacterial cells which are covered by self-produced extracellular matrix and are attached to a substratum.

Synergistic metabolism of salivary MUC5B in oral commensal bacteria during early biofilm formation
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bacterial metabolism in oral biofilms is comprised of complex networks of nutritional chains and biochemical regulations. These processes involve both intraspecies and interspecies networks as well as interactions with components from host saliva ...

PLoS Pathogens, 2012 Biofilms are a principal form of microbial growth and are critical to development of clinical infection. They are responsible for a broad spectrum of microbial infections in the human host. Many medically important fungi produce biofilms, including Candida [1], Aspergillus [2],Cryptococcus [3], Trichosporon [4], Coccidioides [5], and Pneumocystis [6 ...

Growth limiting conditions and denitrification govern extent and frequency of volume detachment of biofilms [PDF]
, 2013 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 ...

Methods for eradication of the biofilms formed by opportunistic pathogens using novel techniques – A review [PDF]
, 2016 The inconvenient environmental conditions force microorganisms to colonize either abiotic surfaces or animal and plant tissues and, therefore, form more resistant structures – biofilms.
