Journal ArticleDOI

Biofilm formation mechanisms and targets for developing antibiofilm agents

TL;DR: The current understanding of the processes that lead to biofilm formation in many bacteria is highlighted, and the identity of the key players are beginning to be uncovered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isothermal amplified detection of DNA and RNA

TL;DR: This review highlights various methods that can be used for a sensitive detection of nucleic acids without using thermal cycling procedures, as is done in PCR or LCR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleotide, c-di-GMP, c-di-AMP, cGMP, cAMP, (p)ppGpp signaling in bacteria and implications in pathogenesis

TL;DR: An update of nucleotide signaling in bacteria is provided and it is shown how these signals intersect or integrate to regulate the bacterial phenotype and the chemical syntheses of the various nucleotide second messengers and the use of analogs thereof as antibiofilm or immune modulators are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Agents that inhibit bacterial biofilm formation

TL;DR: This review discusses recent discoveries of antibiofilm agents and different approaches to inhibit/disperse biofilms, which have the potential to disperse bacterial biofilmms in vivo and could positively impact human medicine in the future.
