• Mechanism of antibacterial activity of copper nanoparticles (2014, background): “Filamentation is an anomalous growth of bacteria, when cells continue to elongate with multiple chromosomal copies and do not undergo septum formation, causing no cell division [30].”
• Bacterial Biofilms: Development, Dispersal, and Therapeutic Strategies in the Dawn of the Postantibiotic Era (2013, background): “For example, during UTI, hordes of neutrophils infiltrate the bladder migrating toward the infected superficial umbrella cells, but are unable to effectively penetrate the IBC or engulf dispersing filamentous bacteria (Justice et al. 2008; Horvath et al. 2010).”
