• Antibiotic resistance and persistence—Implications for human health and treatment perspectives (2020, positive): “Chronic infections are associated with bacterial biofilms, and the newly linked phenomenon of antibiotic persistence added a novel point of view to recurring and difficult-to-treat infections and attracted the interest of more and more scientists worldwide (Bjarnsholt, 2013; Lebeaux et al , 2014).”
• Understanding the Mechanism of Bacterial Biofilms Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents (2017, background): “Moreover, Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria form highly tolerant persisters in the biofilms, which inferred the high risk of that infection recurrence during biofilm infections [86].”
• Nano-Strategies to Fight Multidrug Resistant Bacteria—“A Battle of the Titans” (2018, background): “Biofilm formation plays an important role in bacterial resistance protecting bacteria and allowing then to evade the action of antibiotics (Lebeaux et al., 2014; Khameneh et al., 2016).”
• Implication of Surface Properties, Bacterial Motility, and Hydrodynamic Conditions on Bacterial Surface Sensing and Their Initial Adhesion (2021, background): “Biofilm formation is essential for microorganisms’ survival since it benefits bacteria; it stimulates bacterial growth and acts as a barrier that protects the embedded microorganisms from environmental challenges and administered antimicrobials (Lebeaux et al., 2014).”
