Optimizing a reliable ex vivo human blood model to analyze expression of Staphylococcus epidermidis genes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Human blood is often used as an ex vivo model to mimic the environment encountered by pathogens inside the host. A significant variety of experimental conditions has been reported. However, optimization strategies are often not described.

Sessile Legionella pneumophila is able to grow on surfaces and generate structured monospecies biofilms [PDF]
, 2010 Currently, models for studying Legionella pneumophila biofilm formation rely on multi-species biofilms with low reproducibility or on growth in rich medium, where planktonic growth is unavoidable.

Bacterial biofilms: a common cause of persistent infections.
Science, 1999 Bacteria that attach to surfaces aggregate in a hydrated polymeric matrix of their own synthesis to form biofilms. Formation of these sessile communities and their inherent resistance to antimicrobial agents are at the root of many persistent and chronic

Increased Osmolarity in Biofilm Triggers RcsB-Dependent Lipid A Palmitoylation in
mBio, 2018 Biofilms are often described as protective shelters that preserve bacteria from hostile surroundings. However, biofilm bacteria are also exposed to various stresses and need to adjust to the heterogeneous physicochemical conditions prevailing within ...

Biofilms: Microbial Life on Surfaces
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002 Microorganisms attach to surfaces and develop biofilms. Biofilm-associated cells can be differentiated from their suspended counterparts by generation of an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix, reduced growth rates, and the up- and down ...

Growth limiting conditions and denitrification govern extent and frequency of volume detachment of biofilms [PDF]
, 2013 This study aims at evaluating the mechanisms of biofilm detachment with regard of the physical properties of the biofilm. Biofilms were developed in Couette–Taylor reactor under controlled hydrodynamic conditions and under different environmental growth ...
