Chronic and recurrent bacterial infections are frequently associated with the formation of
biofilms on biotic or abiotic materials that are composed of mono-or multi-species cultures of …

Chronic biofilm‐associated infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus often lead to
significant increases in morbidity and mortality, particularly when associated with indwelling …

The ability to construct and maintain a structured multicellular bacterial community depends
critically on the production of extracellular matrix components (1, 2). While the biofilm matrix …

Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections
and represents a significant burden on the healthcare system. S. aureus attachment to …

The paucity of blood granulocyte populations such as neutrophils in laboratory mice is a
notable difference between this model organism and humans, but the cause of this species …

Laboratory experiments have uncovered many basic aspects of bacterial physiology and
behavior. After the past century of mostly in vitro experiments, we now have detailed …

Biofilms contain group (s) of microorganisms that are found to be associated with the biotic
and abiotic surfaces. Biofilms contain either homogenous or heterogeneous populations of …

Antibiotic resistance and biofilm-forming capacity contribute to the success of
Staphylococcus aureus as a human pathogen in both healthcare and community settings …

In individuals with polymicrobial infections, microbes often display synergistic interactions
that can enhance their colonization, virulence, or persistence. One of the most prevalent …

Biofilm-associated infections are a significant cause of morbidity and death. Staphylococci,
above all Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis, are the most frequent causes of biofilm …
