The role of reactive oxygen species in antibiotic-induced cell death in Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria [PDF]

, 2016
It was recently proposed that bactericidal antibiotics, besides through specific drug-target interactions, kill bacteria by a common mechanism involving the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Aspergillus fumigatus enhances elastase production in pseudomonas aeruginosaco-cultures [PDF]

, 2015
In the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung the presence of bacteria and fungi in the airways promotes an inflammatory response causing progressive lung damage, ultimately leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality.

Pneumococcal biofilms.

International microbiology : the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology, 2009
Over 60% of bacterial infections (and up to 80% of chronic infections) are currently considered to involve microbial growth in biofilms. This peculiar form of life poses an array of problems in human clinical practice, from infections associated with the implant of prosthetic devices and dental plaque formation to diseases such as cystic fibrosis ...

Aerial Exposure to the Bacterial Volatile Compound Trimethylamine Modifies Antibiotic Resistance of Physically Separated Bacteria by Raising Culture Medium pH

mBio, 2014
Bacteria release a wide diversity of small bioactive molecules that often correspond to secondary metabolites. Among them, volatile molecules produced under various growth conditions were shown to mediate cross-kingdom interactions with plants, nematodes,

Virulence Factors in Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci

Pathogens, 2021
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have emerged as major pathogens in healthcare-associated facilities, being S. epidermidis, S. haemolyticus and, more recently, S. lugdunensis, the most clinically relevant species.

Effect of CSLM imaging rate on biofilms of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus [PDF]

, 2015
Biofilms are sessile communities of bacteria that can be found in an wide range of environments. Their inhabitants are phenotypically distinct from plank- tonic bacteria and are capable of forming complex, three-dimensional structures.
