Journal ArticleDOI
Role of bacterial cell surface structures in Escherichia coli biofilm formation
TL;DR: An overview of the occurrence, production and interaction of these components, their influence at one or more developmental stages of biofilm formation, and their potential role as virulence factors in pathogenic E. coli strains is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial silver: uses, toxicity and potential for resistance.
TL;DR: This study shows that it is important to understand in detail how silver and silver nanoparticles exert their toxicity and to understand how bacteria acquire silver resistance, to lead to a better understanding of the impact on human health and ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome data show that C. metallidurans CH34 is particularly well equipped to live in extreme conditions and anthropogenic environments that are rich in metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of insertion sequences on bacterial genome plasticity and adaptability
TL;DR: This review focuses on the impact of insertion sequences (IS), arguably the smallest TE, on bacterial genome plasticity and concomitant adaptability of phenotypic traits, including resistance to antibacterial agents, virulence, pathogenicity and catabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quorum sensing in Serratia.
TL;DR: This review will highlight the current known quorum sensing systems inSerratia spp.
