In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), the lung is a remarkable ecological niche in which the
microbiome is subjected to important selective pressures. An inexorable colonization by …

The unresolved challenges in the development of highly efficient, stable and controlled
synthetic microbial consortia, as well as the use of natural consortia, are very attractive for …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder characterized by chronic microbial colonization and
inflammation of the respiratory tract (RT), leading to pulmonary exacerbation (PEx) and lung …

Purpose Our aim was to investigate in vitro biofilm formation by S. maltophilia and the effects
of antibacterial agents used to prevent biofilm formation. Methods Two trimethoprim …

Aspergillus fumigatus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms are associated to the
recalcitrant and persistent infections due to resistance to antimicrobials. Here, we evaluated …

Fungal ball (FB) rhinosinusitis (RS) is the main type of non-invasive fungal RS. Despite
positive direct examination (DE) of biopsies, culture remains negative in more than 60% of …

Aspergillus spp. are spore forming molds; a subset of which are clinically relevant to humans
and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. A. fumigatus causes chronic infection in …

Interactions between different kingdoms of microorganisms in humans are common but not
well described. A recent analysis of the mycobiome has described the presence of different …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review aims to elucidate clinically important sites where
multi-species biofilms are formed. We highlight key in vitro and in vivo studies, discuss the …

The concept of microbial biofilms revolutionised the scientific approaches towards
