Biofilm formation by enterococci [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2007 Enterococci are an important global cause of nosocomial infections, being increasingly associated with urinary tract infections, endocarditis, intra-abdominal and pelvic infections, catheter-related infections, surgical wound infections, and central nervous system infections.

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 ...

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 ...

The biofilm life cycle: expanding the conceptual model of biofilm formation [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2022 Bacterial biofilms are often defined as communities of surface-attached bacteria and are typically depicted with a classic mushroom-shaped structure characteristic of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, it has become evident that this is not how all biofilms develop, especially in vivo, in clinical and industrial settings, and in the environment, where ...

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
