Role of alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpC) in the biofilm formation of Campylobacter jejuni. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Biofilm formation of Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of human gastroenteritis, contributes to the survival of this pathogenic bacterium in different environmental niches; however, molecular mechanisms for its biofilm formation have not been fully ...

A biophysical threshold for biofilm formation
eLife, 2022 Bacteria are ubiquitous in our daily lives, either as motile planktonic cells or as immobilized surface-attached biofilms. These different phenotypic states play key roles in agriculture, environment, industry, and medicine; hence, it is critically important to be able to predict the conditions under which bacteria transition from one state to the ...

The HD-GYP Domain, Cyclic Di-GMP Signaling, and Bacterial Virulence to Plants
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006 Cyclic di-GMP is an almost ubiquitous second messenger in bacteria that was first described as an allosteric activator of cellulose synthase but is now known to regulate a range of functions, including virulence in human and animal pathogens. Two protein

The Lack of SNARE Protein Homolog Syn8 Influences Biofilm Formation of Candida glabrata
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Biofilm formation of Candida species is considered to be a pathogenic factor of host infection. Since biofilm formation of Candida glabrata has not been as well studied as that of Candida albicans, we performed genetic screening of C. glabrata, and three

Biofilm Formation on Tracheostomy Tubes [PDF]
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 2002 An increased awareness of biofilms and their mechanisms has led to a better understanding of bacterial infections that occur following the placement of tracheostomy tubes and other implanted devices and prostheses. One aspect of biofilm formation that is still subject to debate is whether the specific material that is used to manufacture a tube has any
