Understanding the Mechanism of Bacterial Biofilms Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents (2017, background): “The exoenzymes protect the motility of particular agents of antibacterial activity and provide a source of substrate for biocide metabolite degradation that resulted slowing down the activity of susceptible drugs [11, 12].”
A review on the wettability of dental implant surfaces II: Biological and clinical aspects. (2014, background): “Biomaterial-associated infections represent a small percentage but result in serious complications in the orthopaedic field [99, 100].”
Applications of nanotechnology in agriculture and water quality management (2017, background): “In modern environmental science, the removal of wastewater is an emerging issue due to its effects on living organisms (Mulligan et al. 2001; Babula et al. 2008).”
Understanding bacterial biofilms: From definition to treatment strategies (2023, background): “epidermidis can form biofilms on the surfaces of central venous catheters, heart valves, suture devices, and prostheses, in turn, can cause nosocomial infections, endocarditis, mucus cysts, and otitis media (Qu et al., 2010; Arciola et al., 2012).”
How microorganisms use hydrophobicity and what does this mean for human needs? (2014, background): “For example, the use of polymeric nanofibers on polystyrene surface significantly delayed bacterial and fungal biofilm formation (Arciola et al., 2012; Kargar et al., 2012).”
