Quorum sensing is a process of bacterial cell-to-cell chemical communication that relies on
the production, detection and response to extracellular signalling molecules called …

This review is a comprehensive description of the past decade of research into
understanding how the geometry and size of nanoparticles affect their interaction with …

A biofilm is an interface-associated colloidal dispersion of bacterial cells and excreted
polymers in which microorganisms find protection from their environment. Successful …

In the wild, bacteria are predominantly associated with surfaces as opposed to existing as
free-swimming, isolated organisms. They are thus subject to surface-specific mechanics …

Bacteria can form single-and multispecies biofilms exhibiting diverse features based upon
the microbial composition of their community and microenvironment. The study of bacterial …

We summarize different studies describing mechanisms through which bacteria in a biofilm
mode of growth resist mechanical and chemical challenges. Acknowledging previous …

Develo** reliable anti-biofilm strategies or efficient biofilm-based bioprocesses strongly
depends on having a clear understanding of the mechanisms underlying biofilm …

Bacteria use a chemical communication process called quorum sensing (QS) to control
collective behaviours such as pathogenesis and biofilm formation 1, 2. QS relies on the …

Bacteria in natural and artificial environments often reside in self-organized, integrated
communities known as biofilms. Biofilms are highly structured entities consisting of bacterial …

Antimicrobial resistance is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Without newly approved
antibiotics and antifungals being brought to the market, resistance is being developed to the …
