A scientific paper “Induction of proteome changes involved in biofilm formation of Enterococcus faecalis in response to gentamicin” by Professor Khudaverdi Ganbarov, Head of the Research Laboratory of Microbiology and Virology, Baku State University (BSU)  was published by Microbial Pathogenesis (Impact factor: 2.581).

Enterococcus faecalis is a significant cause of nosocomial infections and other diseases, including endocarditis, bacteremia, and urinary tract infections. This microorganism forms biofilms to overcome difficult environmental conditions, such as lack of oxygen, lack of water, and the presence of antimicrobials. These biofilms make diseases difficult by changing their proteome contents, protecting the bacterium, and increasing their pathogenicity. This study aimed to evaluate gentamicin's effect on proteome changes and biofilm formation in E. faecalis.
