Bacterial biofilms can cause medical problems and issues in technical systems. While a
large body of knowledge exists on the phenotypes of planktonic and of sessile cells in …

The formation of bacterial biofilms is initiated by cells transitioning from the free-swimming
mode of growth to a surface. This review is aimed at highlighting the common themes that …

In bacteria, many small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are induced in response to specific
environmental signals or stresses and act by base‐pairing with mRNA targets to affect …

Escherichia coli can commonly be found, either as a commensal, probiotic or a pathogen, in
the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Biofilm formation and its regulation is surprisingly …

Posttranslational modification of a protein, either alone or in combination with other
modifications, can control properties of that protein, such as enzymatic activity, localization …

Bacteria are extremely versatile organisms that rapidly adapt to changing environments.
When bacterial cells switch from planktonic growth to biofilm, flagellum formation is turned …

Biofilm-related infections substantially contribute to bacterial illnesses, with estimates
indicating that at least 80% of such diseases are linked to biofilms. Biofilms exhibit unique …

Acinetobacter baumannii is an aerobic and gram-negative pathogenic bacterium that is
resistant to most antibiotics. Recently, A. baumannii 1656-2 exhibited the ability to form …

Biofilms are broadly formed by diverse microorganisms under stressful environments that
are basically surrounded by an EPS matrix, which enable bacterial cells to confer the …

Background: Hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HABSIs) cause increased morbidity,
mortality, and hospital costs that are partially preventable. HABSI seasonality has been …
