==== ''Staphylococcus aureus'' ==== ''Staphylococcus aureus'' is a type of pathogen that causes infection to the skin and soft tissue and can lead to a variety of more severe diseases such as osteomyelitis, pneumonia, and endocarditis. ''S. aureus'' uses biofilms in order to increase its chances of survival by becoming resistant to antibiotics. Biofilms help ''S. aureus'' become up to 1500 times more resistant to antibiofilm agents, which try to break down biofilms formed by ''S. aureus''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Wu |first1=Xiying |last2=Wang |first2=Huan |last3=Xiong |first3=Juan |last4=Yang |first4=Guo-Xun |last5=Hu |first5=Jin-Feng |last6=Zhu |first6=Quangang |last7=Chen |first7=Zhongjian |title=Staphylococcus aureus biofilm: Formulation, regulatory, and emerging natural products-derived therapeutics |journal=Biofilm |date=June 2024 |volume=7 |pages=100175 |doi=10.1016/j.bioflm.2023.100175 |pmid=38298832 |pmc=10827693 }}</ref>
