Alpha-Toxin Contributes to Biofilm Formation among Staphylococcus aureus Wound Isolates
Toxins, 2018 Biofilms complicate treatment of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) wound infections. Previously, we determined alpha-toxin (AT)-promoted SA biofilm formation on mucosal tissue. Therefore, we evaluated SA wound isolates for AT production and biofilm formation on

Combined utilization of metabolic inhibitors to prevent synergistic multi-species biofilm formation
AMB Express, 2022 Key Points 37 bacterial strains were isolated and identified from a cooling tower biofilm. Synergistic effect of biofilm formation was observed among four species.

Fluorescence-Based Quasicontinuous and In Situ Monitoring of Biofilm Formation Dynamics in Natural Marine Environments [PDF]
, 2014 Analyzing the dynamics of biofilm formation helps to deepen our understanding of surface colonization in natural environments. While methods for screening biofilm formation in the laboratory are well established, studies in marine environments have so ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The concept of foulant particle manipulation and detachment from active microfiltration membranes via voltage‐driven vibrations is introduced. Actuator components are initially integrated onto the filtration membranes using an airbrush spray printing technique.

Counterclockwise rotation of the flagellum promotes biofilm initiation in Helicobacter pylori
mBioMotility promotes biofilm initiation during the early steps of this process: microbial surface association and attachment. Motility is controlled in part by chemotaxis signaling, so it seems reasonable that chemotaxis may also affect biofilm formation ...

BMC Microbiology, 2006 Background Biofilm formation in E. faecalis is presumed to play an important role in a number of enterococcal infections. We have previously identified a genetic locus provisionally named bop that is involved in maltose metabolism and biofilm formation ...

The pivotal functionality of the amyloid protein TasA in bacillus physiology and fitness [PDF]
, 2018 Biofilms are complex bacterial communities formed on any virtual surface and composed of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. Studies on Bacillus subtilis have demonstrated this tissue-like structure comprised of diverse exopolymeric substances ...

New insights into Legionella pneumophila biofilm regulation by c-di-GMP signaling [PDF]
, 2016 The waterborne pathogen Legionella pneumophila grows as a biofilm, freely or inside amoebae. Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP), a bacterial second messenger frequently implicated in biofilm formation, is synthesized and degraded by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and

Meningococcal Biofilm Formation
Trends in Microbiology, 2017 Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is an essential constituent of the extracellular matrix of biofilms of many microorganisms. In spite of many studies, it has long remained unclear how exactly eDNA exerts its role in biofilm formation. Here, we describe recent advances that have been made in understanding biofilm formation in the human pathogen Neisseria ...
