DOI: 10.1016/j.mib.2018.07.006
Abstract: Biofilms are a typical mode of growth for most microorganisms and provide them with a variety of survival benefits. Biofilms can pose medical and industrial challenges due to their increased tolerance of antimicrobials and disinfectants.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.nmni.2019.100608
Abstract: Subinhibitory concentrations (subMIC) of antibiotics, although not able to kill bacteria, can modify their physicochemical characteristics and may interfere with some bacterial functions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of subMIC of imipenem and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.02066-25
Abstract: ABSTRACT Subinhibitory antibiotic exposures are common in clinical and environmental contexts, yet their effects on bacterial growth dynamics remain incompletely understood. We studied the temporal response of Escherichia coli to a panel of bactericidal (“cidal”)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2024/9018205
Abstract: Objectives: Subinhibitory concentration of antibiotics in the environment is an important risk factor for the horizontal transmission of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The signaling mechanism of resistance gene transmission remains unknown. The aim of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0277287
Abstract: Staphylococcus epidermis is one of the most frequent causes of device-associated infections due to biofilm formation. Current reports noted that subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics induce biofilm production in some bacteria. Accordingly, we evaluated the effect… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11050624
Abstract: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the primary cause of health-care-associated infectious diarrhea. Treatment requires mostly specific antibiotics such as metronidazole (MTZ), vancomycin or fidaxomicin. However, approximately 20% of treated patients experience recurrences. Treatment with MTZ… read more here.
