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 ...

Anti-diarrheal drug loperamide induces dysbiosis in zebrafish microbiota via bacterial inhibition
Microbiome, 2023 Background Perturbations of animal-associated microbiomes from chemical stress can affect host physiology and health. While dysbiosis induced by antibiotic treatments and disease is well known, chemical, nonantibiotic drugs have recently been shown to ...

A dissipative particle dynamics model of biofilm growth [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 83, 066702, 2011, 2018 A dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) model for the quantitative simulation of biofilm growth controlled by substrate (nutrient) consumption, advective and diffusive substrate transport, and hydrodynamic interactions with fluid flow (including fragmentation and reattachment) is described.

Visible spectroelectrochemical characterization of geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms on optically transparent indium tin oxide electrode [PDF]
, 2011 We report visible spectroelectrochemical (SEC) characterization of cytochrome c552 (cyt c552) in viable Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms on tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) electrodes poised at 0.24 V vs.. SHE. G.
