Biofilms formed by Candida albicans bloodstream isolates display phenotypic and transcriptional heterogeneity that are associated with resistance and pathogenicity [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Candida albicans infections have become increasingly recognised as being biofilm related. Recent studies have shown that there is a relationship between biofilm formation and poor clinical outcomes in patients infected with biofilm ...

The architect of the biofilm [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2017 A recent study investigated the structural dynamics of a matrix protein ofVibrio choleraebiofilms and examined how this protein modulates the architecture of the biofilm.

Effect of temperature, pH and plasmids on in vitro biofilm formation in Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2018 Acid resistance (AR) in Escherichia coli is an important trait that protects this microorganism from the deleterious effect of low-pH environments. Reports on biofilm formation in E.

Privatization of Biofilm Matrix in Structurally Heterogeneous Biofilms [PDF]
mSystems, 2019 Biofilms are communities of bacteria protected by a self-produced extracellular matrix. The detrimental effects of nonproducing individuals on biofilm development raise questions about the dynamics between community members, especially when isogenic nonproducers exist within wild-type populations.

Antibiotics versus biofilm: an emerging battleground in microbial communities
Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2019 Biofilm is a complex structure of microbiome having different bacterial colonies or single type of cells in a group; adhere to the surface. These cells are embedded in extracellular polymeric substances, a matrix which is generally composed of eDNA ...
