Formation and regulation of Yersinia biofilms [PDF]
Protein & Cell, 2011 Flea-borne transmission is a recent evolutionary adaptation that distinguishes the deadly Yersinia pestis from its progenitor Y. Pseudotuberculosis, a mild pathogen transmitted via the food-borne route. Y. Pestis synthesizes biofilms in the flea gut, which is important for fleaborne transmission.

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

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

The non-classical ArsR-family repressor PyeR (PA4354) modulates biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
, 2012 PyeR (PA4354) is a novel member of the ArsR family of transcriptional regulators and modulates biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Characterization of this regulator showed that it has negative autoregulatory properties and binds to a ...

Engineering biofilm formation and dispersal [PDF]
Trends in Biotechnology, 2011 Anywhere water is in the liquid state, bacteria will exist as biofilms, which are complex communities of cells that are cemented together. Although frequently associated with disease and biofouling, biofilms are also important for engineering applications, such as bioremediation, biocatalysis and microbial fuel cells.
