Angewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 7, February 6, 2023., 2023 Inhibition of the bacterial lectin LecA is an alternative option to treat infections with the ESKAPE pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Optimization of divalent LecA ligands yielded ligands with good drug‐like properties and high potency. Compound evaluation in functional cellular assays showed their ability to inhibit LecA‐mediated virulence ...

Pitfalls Associated with Discriminating Mixed-Species Biofilms by Flow Cytometry
Antibiotics, 2020 Since biofilms are ubiquitous in different settings and act as sources of disease for humans, reliable methods to characterize and quantify these microbial communities are required.

Biofilm, 2023 The genus Mycobacterium includes some of the deadliest pathogens of History (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae), but most of the species within the genus are environmental microorganisms. Because some of these nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species can be human pathogens, the study of these mycobacterial biofilms has increased during ...

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2020 The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress from the biofilm to resume a planktonic lifestyle. As the planktonic state is considered to be more vulnerable to antimicrobial agents and immune responses ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2008 ABSTRACTStaphylococci, with the leading speciesStaphylococcus aureusandStaphylococcus epidermidis, are the most frequent causes of infections on indwelling medical devices. The biofilm phenotype that those bacteria adopt during device-associated infection facilitates increased resistance to antibiotics and host immune defenses. This review presents and

Characterization of a New Staphylococcus aureus Kayvirus Harboring a Lysin Active against Biofilms
Viruses, 2018 Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most relevant opportunistic pathogens involved in many biofilm-associated diseases, and is a major cause of nosocomial infections, mainly due to the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains.

Deciphering Streptococcal Biofilms [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Streptococci are a diverse group of bacteria, which are mostly commensals but also cause a considerable proportion of life-threatening infections. They colonize many different host niches such as the oral cavity, the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tract.
