- Environmental Escherichia coli: ecology and public health implications—a review (2017, background): “…mature biofilms can be transported to other locations by increased flow rates in aquatic environments and result in the building of new biofilms (McDougald et al. 2012), indicating that biofilm-borne E. coli can be transported to alternate sites and observed without evidence of faecal…”
- Biofilms: Microbial Cities of Scientific Significance (2014, background): “Therefore, a combination of an antibiofilm compound with an effective antibiotic is essential for effectual elimination of bacterial biofilms and the development of antibiofilm therapies are under progress [125,126].”
- Microbial biofilm: formation, architecture, antibiotic resistance, and control strategies (2021, background): “[31], and variation in environmental conditions like temperature, oxygen deficiency, and metabolite accumulation as well as upregulation of genes responsible for cell motility and EPS degradation, and downregulation of genes important for polysaccharide and fimbriae synthesis [32].”
- Visible-light-driven enhanced antibacterial and biofilm elimination activity of graphitic carbon nitride by embedded Ag nanoparticles (2015, background): “Biofilms are sessile communities of microbial cells [2], which usually grow on biomaterial implants and cause significant problems of medical infection, and thus deserve particular attention [3].”
