This review highlights the different modes of synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from
their elemental state to particle format and their mechanism of action against multidrug …

Bacterial biofilms are complex microbial communities encased in extracellular polymeric
substances. Their formation is a multi-step process. Biofilms are a significant problem in …

After the first ancient studies on microbial slime (the name by which the biofilm matrix was
initially indicated), multitudes of studies on the morphology, composition and physiology of …

A growing body of documents shows microbiota produce metabolites such as short-chain
fatty acids (SCFAs) as crucial executors of diet-based microbial influence the host and …

Hospital-acquired infections, also known as nosocomial infections, include bloodstream
infections, surgical site infections, skin and soft tissue infections, respiratory tract infections …

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 …

Lately, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing at an exponential rate making it
important to search alternatives to antibiotics in order to combat multi-drug resistant (MDR) …

Microbial biofilms can cause chronic infection. In the clinical setting, the biofilm-related
infections usually persist and reoccur; the main reason is the increased antibiotic resistance …

Biofilms represent resilient microbial communities responsible for inducing chronic
infections in human subjects. Given the escalating challenges associated with antibiotic …

Since they are difficult and sometimes impossible to treat, infections sustained by multidrug-
resistant (MDR) pathogens, emerging especially in nosocomial environments, are an …
