- Pharmacological inhibition of quorum sensing for the treatment of chronic bacterial infections. (2003, background): “A recent public announcement from the NIH stated that more than 60% of all microbial infections involve biofilms (1).”
- Biomaterial-Associated Infection: Locating the Finish Line in the Race for the Surface (2012, background): “Because implant microbial colonization is the prelude to biomaterialassociated infection (11, 12), biomaterial surface properties have long been the focus for understanding microbial adhesion and infection mechanisms as well as for the design of preventive measures.”

- Biological Activities of α-Pinene and β-Pinene Enantiomers (2012, background): “Biofilms are well-structured communities of microorganisms that are extremely resistant to antibiotics [19].”
- Listeria: A foodborne pathogen that knows how to survive. (2007, background): “Biofilms of Listeria are of particular concern, since they are more resistant to disinfectants and sanitizing agents compared to planktonic cells and this makes their elimination from food processing facilities a big challenge (Mah and O'Toole, 2001; Lewis, 2001).”
- The Enterococcal Surface Protein, Esp, Is Involved in Enterococcus faecalis Biofilm Formation (2001, background): “However, it is well established that antimicrobials directed to planktonic cells may not be efficient against biofilm cells (8, 29).”
- Multidrug tolerance of biofilms and persister cells. (2008, background): “antibiotic concentration drops, persisters will repopulate the biofilm, which will shed off new planktonic cells, producing the relapsing biofilm infection ( Lewis 2001b ).”
- Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis: biology, epidemiology, pathogenicity and antifungal resistance. (2012, background): “…is a complex multifactorial phenomenon involving different molecular mechanisms, restricted penetration of the drug through the matrix and the presence of so-called ‘persister’ cells within the biofilm, which survive exposure to the agent (Lewis, 2001; Donlan & Costerton, 2002; Douglas, 2003).”
- Chemical and physical methods for characterisation of biofilms (2007, background): “Moreover, biofilms show an increased resistance to antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics and biocides [10].”
