FabR regulates Salmonella biofilm formation via its direct target FabB [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Biofilm formation is an important survival strategy of Salmonella in all environments. By mutant screening, we showed a knock-out mutant of fabR, encoding a repressor of unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis (UFA), to have impaired biofilm ...

Inoculum Concentration Influences Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phenotype and Biofilm Architecture
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 In infections, bacterial cells are often found as relatively small multicellular aggregates characterized by a heterogeneous distribution of phenotype, genotype, and growth rates depending on their surrounding microenvironment.

Forward Genetic Dissection of Biofilm Development by Fusobacterium nucleatum: Novel Functions of Cell Division Proteins FtsX and EnvC. [PDF]
, 2018 Fusobacterium nucleatum is a key member of the human oral biofilm. It is also implicated in preterm birth and colorectal cancer. To facilitate basic studies of fusobacterial virulence, we describe here a versatile transposon mutagenesis procedure and a ...

Staphylococcal Biofilm Development: Structure, Regulation, and Treatment Strategies
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2020 In many natural and clinical settings, bacteria are associated with some type of biotic or abiotic surface that enables them to form biofilms, a multicellular lifestyle with bacteria embedded in an extracellular matrix.

Reproducibility of antimicrobial test methods
Scientific Reports, 2018 We review reproducibility results for methods that test antimicrobial efficacy against biofilms, spores and bacteria dried onto a surface. Our review, that included test results for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella choleraesuis and Bacillus subtilis ...

Effect of surface roughness, biofilm coverage and biofilm structure on the electrochemical efficiency of microbial cathodes [PDF]
, 2011 Biofilms of Geobacter sulfurreducens were formed under chronoamperometry at −0.5 V and −0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl on stainless steel cathodes and tested for fumarate reduction.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012 Biofilms are a principal form of microbial growth and are critical to development of clinical infection. They are responsible for a broad spectrum of microbial infections in the human host. Many medically important fungi produce biofilms, including Candida [1], Aspergillus [2],Cryptococcus [3], Trichosporon [4], Coccidioides [5], and Pneumocystis [6 ...

The establishment of the CBE launched biofilms as a field of specialized research
Biofilm, 2020 The Center for Biofilm Engineering was the first center of excellence focused on biofilms and was originally funded through the Engineering Research Center Program from the U.S. National Science Foundation.
