Bacterial biofilm formation and anti-biofilm strategies
Research in MicrobiologyBacteria are ubiquitous prokaryotes. They are involved in biofilm formation and also have the ability to produce anti-biofilm products for biofilm mitigation. This special issue entitled: "Biofilms- community structure, applications and mitigation" of the journal Research in Microbiology was designed to discuss the flexibility of bacterial biofilms and

Nanometric Considerations in Biofilm Formation
Surgical Infections, 2019Prosthetic contamination and biofilm formation continue to plague implanted materials. With increasing resistance to traditional antibiotic regimens, alternative approaches to preventing bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation have focused on the physiochemical properties of the prosthetics.

Observations of fouling biofilm formation
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1981Fouling biofilm development was monitored in a completely mixed tubular recycle reactor. A unique sampling system allowed direct (brightfield, epifluorescence, and scanning electron photomicroscopy) and indirect (increased fluid frictional resistance) observations of biofilms. Low fluid velocity (138.5 cm/s) experiments had shorter induction times and

Ecological determinants of biofilm formation
Biofouling, 1996Biofilm formation is discussed in terms of the ecological processes involved in their formation. It is emphasised that any cell responds to its environment i.e. to the composition of a liquid layer a few microns thick adjacent to the cell surface. The concept of multidimensional habitat domains defining the growth limits to every species is introduced,

Biofilm Formation as Microbial Development
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2000▪ Abstract Biofilms can be defined as communities of microorganisms attached to a surface. It is clear that microorganisms undergo profound changes during their transition from planktonic (free-swimming) organisms to cells that are part of a complex, surface-attached community.

Formation of biofilm by Staphylococcus xylosus
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2006The ability of 12 Staphylococcus xylosus strains to form biofilm was determined through the study of different criteria. Eleven out of the 12 strains were able to form biofilm, 10 preferentially on hydrophilic support (glass) and one, S. xylosus C2a, on both hydrophilic and hydrophobic (polystyrene) supports.

Cell Adhesion and Biofilm Formation Analysis
2022Cell adhesion to surfaces and ulterior biofilm formation are critical processes in microbial development since living in biofilms is the preferred way of life within microorganisms. These processes are known to influence not only microorganisms development in the environment, but also their participation in biotechnological processes and have been the ...

Antibiotic-Induced Biofilm Formation
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2011Surface-attached colonies of bacteria known as biofilms play a major role in the pathogenesis of device-related infections. Biofilm colonies are notorious for their resistance to suprainhibitory concentrations of antibiotics. Numerous studies have shown that subminimal inhibitory concentrations of some antibiotics can act as agonists of bacterial ...

Antimicrobial Peptides for the Control of Biofilm Formation
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2017Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an abundant and varied group of molecules recognized as the most ancient components of the innate immune system. They are found in a wide group of organisms including bacteria, plants and animals as a defense mechanism against different kinds of infectious pathogens.
