Bacterial biofilm formation and anti-biofilm strategies

Research in Microbiology
Bacteria 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

Biofilm formation by Streptococcus pneumoniae

Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology, 2015
The biofilm process in Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is described. Virtually all wild-type pneumococci are capable of the biofilm formation. The pneumococcal capsule may reduce the biofilm production, and the propensity to form biofilms has a reverse correlation with the amount of the capsule material.

Nanometric Considerations in Biofilm Formation

Surgical Infections, 2019
Prosthetic 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, 1981
Fouling 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

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, 2006
The 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

2022
Cell 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 ...

Ecological determinants of biofilm formation

Biofouling, 1996
Biofilm 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,

Inhibition of Biofilm Formation

2021
Biofilm formation increases the survival chances of the microbial species. Increase in microbial cell density triggers quorum sensing and leads to colony formation. The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) strains with biofilm formation ability of human pathogen has limited effective antibiotic-based treatment.
