How well are we translating biofilm research from bench-side to bedside?
Biofilm, 2020 Biofilms are responsible for more than 80% of all chronic infections and represent an enormous medical challenge. In order to meet this challenge, translation research on anti-biofilm approaches is desperately needed.

Managing sticky situations – anti-biofilm agents [PDF]
GERMS, 2016 Biofilm-related infections are accountable for increasing morbidity and disability, particularly in an era when surgery has evolved to new heights and is able to repair or replace virtually any damaged component of the human body. Bacteria have recently been redefined as “intelligent” beings, able to communicate, coordinate, and store in their ...

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Graphene-based dental adhesive with anti-biofilm activity [PDF]
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2017 Secondary caries are considered the main cause of dental restoration failure. In this context, anti-biofilm and bactericidal properties are desired in dental materials against pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans. To this purpose, graphene based materials can be used as fillers of polymer dental adhesives.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis is a gut bacterium linked to bowel cancer. We propose that its toxin acts along two routes: at the cell surface, cutting the adhesion protein E‐cadherin and triggering inflammation; and inside the cell, delivered by bacterial vesicles, switching on NOD1 and cancer stem cell programs.
