A Multiscale Model of Biofilm as a Senescence-Structured Fluid
, 2006 We derive a physiologically structured multiscale model for biofilm development. The model has components on two spatial scales, which induce different time scales into the problem.

Maintenance of S. aureus in Co-culture With P. aeruginosa While Growing as Biofilms
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Bacterial biofilms are found in various environmental niches and are mostly comprised by two or more bacterial species. One such example, are the mixed species bacterial biofilms found in chronic lung infections of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, which ...

Biofilm Formation and the Role of Efflux Pumps in ESKAPE Pathogens
MicroorganismsNosocomial infections caused by ESKAPE pathogens represent a significant burden to global health. These pathogens may exhibit multidrug resistance (MDR) mechanisms, of which mechanisms such as efflux pumps and biofilm formation are gaining significant ...

Potassium iodide enhances the antimicrobial activity of plasma-activated water
BiofilmPlasma-activated water (PAW) is a promising disinfection strategy that generates a complex mixture of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitrate (NO3−), and transient oxidants, in an acidic aqueous ...

The pivotal functionality of the amyloid protein TasA in bacillus physiology and fitness [PDF]
, 2018 Biofilms are complex bacterial communities formed on any virtual surface and composed of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. Studies on Bacillus subtilis have demonstrated this tissue-like structure comprised of diverse exopolymeric substances ...

Characterisation of dairy strains of Geobacillus stearothermophilus and a genomics insight into its growth and survival during dairy manufacture : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2016 The thermophilic bacilli, such as G. stearothermophilus, are an important group of contaminants in the dairy industry. Although these bacilli are generally not pathogenic, their presence in dairy products is an indicator of poor hygiene and high numbers ...
