Amyloidogenic Peptide Fragments Designed From Bacterial Collagen‐like Proteins Form Hydrogel
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study identified amyloidogenic sequence motifs in bacterial collagen‐like proteins and exploited these to design peptides that self‐assemble into β‐sheet fibers and form hydrogels. One hydrogel supported healthy fibroblast growth, showing promise for biocompatible materials. Our work demonstrates that bacterial sequences can be harnessed to create

Biofilm Formation in Staphylococcus Aureus and its Relation to Phenotypic and Genotypic Criteria
Medical Laboratory Journal, 2014 Background and Objective: Biofilm is a complex microbial community embedded in a self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix. We aimed to study the extent of biofilm formation by S.

Bacterial Biofilm and its Clinical Implications [PDF]
, 2018 Microbial biofilm created huge burden in treatment of both community and hospital infections. A biofilm is complex communities of bacteria attached to a surface or interface enclosed in an exopolysaccharide matrix and protected from unfavorable ...

Heterogeneity in Surface Sensing Suggests a Division of Labor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Populations [PDF]
, 2019 The second messenger signaling molecule cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP) drives the transition between planktonic and biofilm growth in many bacterial species.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Membrane vesicles derived from the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus casei BL23 demonstrate antimicrobial properties against Escherichia coli and a potential biological effect in improving the overall survival of C. elegans infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These vesicles stimulated immune responses in primary cells without causing toxicity. Our results

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Hybrid wrinkled topographies coordinate immune, tissue, and bacterial interactions. The surfaces promote osteointegration, tune macrophage polarization, and inhibit biofilm formation, highlighting a multifunctional strategy for next‐generation implant design.

Calcium signaling controls early stage biofilm formation and dispersal in Vibrio fischeri
Journal of BacteriologyBacterial dispersal from a biofilm is presently the least-studied step of the biofilm life cycle. The symbiotic bacterial species Vibrio fischeri is a model organism for studying biofilms relevant to a eukaryotic host; however, methodology is lacking to ...

Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, 2016 We aimed to evaluate the effects of the natural compounds embelin and piperine on the biofilm-formation property of Streptococcus mutans. A total of 30 clinical isolates were identified as S. mutans and screened for biofilm formation using the microtiter

From a thin film model for passive suspensions towards the description of osmotic biofilm spreading
, 2016 Biofilms are ubiquitous macro-colonies of bacteria that develop at various interfaces (solid-liquid, solid-gas or liquid-gas). The formation of biofilms starts with the attachment of individual bacteria to an interface, where they proliferate and produce

High sporulation and overexpression of virulence factors in biofilms and reduced susceptibility to vancomycin and linezolid in recurrent Clostridium [Clostridioides] difficile infection isolates [PDF]
, 2019 Clostridium [Clostridioides] difficile infection (CDI) is one of the leading causes of diarrhea associated with medical care worldwide, and up to 60% of patients with CDI can develop a recurrent infection (R-CDI). A multi-species microbiota biofilm model
