Involvement of NADH Oxidase in Biofilm Formation in Streptococcus sanguinis [PDF]
, 2016 Biofilms play important roles in microbial communities and are related to infectious diseases. Here, we report direct evidence that a bacterial nox gene encoding NADH oxidase is involved in biofilm formation. A dramatic reduction in biofilm formation was

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 protein tyrosine kinases EpsB and PtkA differentially affect biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
, 2014 The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is able to choose between motile and sessile lifestyles. The sessile way of life, also referred to as biofilm, depends on the formation of an extracellular polysaccharide matrix and some extracellular ...

Small secreted proteins enable biofilm development in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. [PDF]
, 2016 Small proteins characterized by a double-glycine (GG) secretion motif, typical of secreted bacterial antibiotics, are encoded by the genomes of diverse cyanobacteria, but their functions have not been investigated to date.

Candida albicans biofilm heterogeneity does not influence denture stomatitis but strongly influences denture cleansing capacity [PDF]
, 2017 Approximately 20 % of the UK population wear some form of denture prosthesis, resulting in denture stomatitis in half of these individuals. Candida albicans is primarily attributed as the causative agent, due to its biofilm -forming ability.

Biofilm formation among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from patients with urinary tract infection. [PDF]
, 2004 Staphylococci have been confirmed to form biofilms on various biomaterials. The purpose of this study was to investigate biofilm formation among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from patients with urinary tract infection (UTI ...
