Biofilm Survival Strategies in Chronic Wounds

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Bacterial biofilms residing in chronic wounds are thought to have numerous survival strategies, making them extremely difficult to eradicate and resulting in long-term infections. However, much of our knowledge regarding biofilm persistence stems from in

The role of individual exopolysaccharides in antibiotic tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa aggregates

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is involved in chronic infections of cystic fibrosis lungs and chronic wounds. In these infections the bacteria are present as aggregates suspended in host secretions.

Effect of lemongrass gel against Candida albicans in rat model of oral candidiasis [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020
Candidiasis is the most prevalent fungal infection found in the oral cavity. Current interventions for oral fungal infections are not very successful and require a long treatment period.

Quantification of microbial degradation activities in biological activated carbon filters by reverse stable isotope labelling

open access: yesAMB Express, 2019
Biological activated carbon (BAC) filters are frequently used in drinking water production for removing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) via adsorption of organic compounds and microbial degradation. However, proper methods are still missing to distinguish

Biofilm dispersion [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Microbiology, 2020
The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress from the biofilm to resume a planktonic lifestyle. As the planktonic state is considered to be more vulnerable to antimicrobial agents and immune responses ...

To Biofilm or Not to Biofilm?

open access: yesSoutheastern European Medical Journal : SEEMEDJ, 2018
Aim: The goal of this research is to examine the biofilm forming ability of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates in different in vitro conditions using Meuller-Hinton and Luria-Bertani broths. Material and methods: 30 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 30 strains of Staphylococcus aureus obtained from clinical specimens

The non-attached biofilm aggregate

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Biofilms have conventionally been perceived as dense bacterial masses on surfaces, following the five-step model of development. Initial biofilm research focused on surface-attached formations, but detached aggregates have received increasing attention ...

Biofilm growth mode promotes maximum carrying capacity and community stability during product inhibition syntrophy

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) can interact syntrophically with other community members in the absence of sulfate, and interactions with hydrogen-consuming methanogens are beneficial when these archaea consume potentially inhibitory H2 produced by the ...

Clinical Impact of Antibiotics for the Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Infections

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bacterial biofilms are highly recalcitrant to antibiotic therapies due to multiple tolerance mechanisms. The involvement of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a wide range of biofilm-related infections often leads to treatment failures.
