Beyond Risk: Bacterial Biofilms and Their Regulating Approaches
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Bacterial biofilms are complex surface attached communities of bacteria held together by self-produced polymer matrixs mainly composed of polysaccharides, secreted proteins, and extracellular DNAs. Bacterial biofilm formation is a complex process and can

Diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis by a new multiplex peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization method [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of most common vaginal infections. However, its diagnosis by classical methods reveals low specificity. Our goal was to evaluate the accuracy diagnosis of 150 vaginal samples with research gold standard methods and our ...

Marine aerobic biofilm as biocathode catalyst [PDF]
, 2010 Stainless steel electrodes were immersed in open seawater and polarized for some days at − 200 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. The current increase indicated the formation of biofilms that catalysed the electrochemical reduction of oxygen.

Intermittent antibiotic treatment of bacterial biofilms favors the rapid evolution of resistance
Communications Biology, 2023 Mutations in sbmA and fusA are rapidly selected in biofilm but not planktonic E. coli when exposed to intermittent amikacin antibiotic treatment, which suggests that the biofilm environment favors rapid evolution of resistance.

Biofilms as Promoters of Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance and Tolerance
Antibiotics, 2020 Multidrug resistant bacteria are a global threat for human and animal health. However, they are only part of the problem of antibiotic failure. Another bacterial strategy that contributes to their capacity to withstand antimicrobials is the formation of ...
