Bacterial coaggregation is a critical process in multispecies biofilm formation, driven by specific molecular interactions that facilitate the adhesion and aggregation of bacterial cells. These interactions are essential for the development and persistence of complex microbial communities. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the roles of the proteosurfaceome and exoproteome in bacterial coaggregation. The proteosurfaceome, comprising surface-bound molecules such as adhesins, drives species-specific interactions crucial for partner recognition and adhesion. In parallel, the exoprot ...
