The chronic wound characterisation study and biobank: a study protocol for a prospective observational cohort investigation of bacterial community composition, inflammatory responses and wound-healing trajectories in non-healing wounds

BMJ Open
Introduction Chronic wounds affect 1%–2% of the global population, with rising incidence due to ageing and lifestyle-related diseases. Bacterial biofilms, found in 80% of chronic wounds, and scattered single-cell bacteria may hinder healing. Microbes are

Acidification-dependent suppression of C. difficile by pathogenic and commensal enterococci

Infection and Immunity
Clostridioides difficile and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) are commonly co-isolated from hospitalized patients. We sought to develop a co-culture biofilm model to characterize interactions between these two opportunistic pathogens. Upon

Laboratory Grown Biofilms of Bacteria Associated with Human Atherosclerotic Carotid Arteries Release Collagenases and Gelatinases during Iron-Induced Dispersion

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The association of bacteria with arterial plaque lesions in patients with atherosclerosis has been widely reported. However, the role these bacteria play in the progression of atherosclerosis is still unclear.

Antimicrobial Activity of Naturally Occurring Phenols and Derivatives Against Biofilm and Planktonic Bacteria

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019
Biofilm-forming bacteria present formidable challenges across diverse settings, and there is a need for new antimicrobial agents that are both environmentally acceptable and relatively potent against microorganisms in the biofilm state. The antimicrobial

Fungal Biofilms

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 ...

Impact of the repurposed drug thonzonium bromide on host oral-gut microbiomes

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021
Drug repurposing is a feasible strategy for the development of novel therapeutic applications. However, its potential use for oral treatments and impact on host microbiota remain underexplored.

Tooth mousse containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate prevents biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans

BMC Oral Health, 2021
Background Streptococcus mutans is a common cariogenic bacterium in the oral cavity involved in plaque formation. Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) has been introduced into tooth mousse to encourage remineralization of dental ...
