DOI: 10.1038/s41564-017-0050-1
Abstract: In nature, bacteria primarily live in surface-attached, multicellular communities, termed biofilms1–6. In medical settings, biofilms cause devastating damage during chronic and acute infections; indeed, bacteria are often viewed as agents of human disease7. However, bacteria… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.07.22.501138
Abstract: Numerous ecological interactions among microbes – for example, competition for space and resources, or interaction among phages and their bacterial hosts – are likely to occur simultaneously in multispecies biofilm communities. While biofilms formed by… read more here.

Abstract: The biofilm lifestyle is the most widespread survival strategy in the bacterial world. Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms cause chronic infections and are highly recalcitrant to antimicrobials. The genetic requirements allowing P. aeruginosa to grow into biofilms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.03579-20
Abstract: The manipulation of microbial biofilms in industrial and clinical applications remains a difficult task. The problem is particularly acute with regard to filamentous fungal biofilms for which molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation, maintenance, and function… read more here.
