Bacterial defences: mechanisms, evolution and antimicrobial resistance
Throughout their evolutionary history, bacteria have faced diverse threats from other
microorganisms, including competing bacteria, bacteriophages and predators. In response …

Three faces of biofilms: a microbial lifestyle, a nascent multicellular organism, and an incubator for diversity
Biofilms are organised heterogeneous assemblages of microbial cells that are encased
within a self-produced matrix. Current estimates suggest that up to 80% of bacterial and …

The role of bacterial biofilm in antibiotic resistance and food contamination
GM Abebe - International journal of microbiology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Biofilm is a microbial association or community attached to different biotic or abiotic surfaces
or environments. These surface‐attached microbial communities can be found in food …

Spatial structure, cooperation and competition in biofilms
Bacteria often live within matrix-embedded communities, termed biofilms, which are now
understood to be a major mode of microbial life. The study of biofilms has revealed their vast …

Formation, physiology, ecology, evolution and clinical importance of bacterial persisters
Persisters are transiently tolerant variants that allow populations to avoid eradication by
antibiotic treatment. Their antibiotic tolerance is non-genetic, not inheritable and results from …

Acinetobacter baumannii biofilms: effects of physicochemical factors, virulence, antibiotic resistance determinants, gene regulation, and future antimicrobial treatments
Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading cause of nosocomial infections due to its increased
antibiotic resistance and virulence. The ability of A. baumannii to form biofilms contributes to …
