Biofilm formation is a key virulence factor for a wide range of microorganisms that cause
chronic infections. The multifactorial nature of biofilm development and drug tolerance …

In many natural and clinical settings, bacteria are associated with some type of biotic or
abiotic surface that enables them to form biofilms, a multicellular lifestyle with bacteria …

The practice of phage therapy, which uses bacterial viruses (phages) to treat bacterial
infections, has been around for almost a century. The universal decline in the effectiveness …

Abstract Gram-positive (G+) bacterial infection is a great burden to both healthcare and
community medical resources. As a result of the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant …

Due to the global emergence of antibiotic resistance, there has been an increase in
research surrounding endolysins as an alternative therapeutic. Endolysins are phage …

Biofilms are aggregate of microorganisms in which cells are frequently embedded within a
self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) and adhere to each other …

Regular consumption of fermented dairy products helps maintain a healthy microbiota and
prevent gut dysbiosis-linked diseases. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) present in food …

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens of humans and animals,
where it frequently colonizes skin and mucosal membranes. It is of major clinical importance …

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. The “predator–prey” interactions
are recognized as a potentially effective way to treat infections. Phages, as well as phage …

At the end of a lytic bacteriophage replication cycle in Gram-positive bacteria, peptidoglycan-
degrading endolysins that cause explosive cell lysis of the host can also attack non-infected …
