Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial biofilms : A common cause of persistent infections
TL;DR: Improvements in understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of bacterial community behavior point to therapeutic targets that may provide a means for the control of biofilm infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance of bacteria in biofilms
TL;DR: The features of biofilm infections are summarized, the emerging mechanisms of resistance are reviewed, and potential therapies are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological heterogeneity in biofilms.
TL;DR: The processes that generate chemical gradients inBiofilms, the genetic and physiological responses of the bacteria as they adapt to these gradients and the techniques that can be used to visualize and measure the microscale physiological heterogeneities of bacteria in biofilms are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival strategies of infectious biofilms.
TL;DR: Current concepts of biofilm tolerance are reviewed with special emphasis on the role of the biofilm matrix and the physiology ofBiofilm-embedded cells, and the heterogeneity in metabolic and reproductive activity within a biofilm correlates with a non-uniform susceptibility of enclosed bacteria.

TL;DR: Bacterial biofilm prevalence in specimens from chronic wounds relative to acute wounds observed in this study provides evidence that biofilms may be abundant in chronic wounds.
