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.

Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]
, 2014 Freshwater cyanophages are poorly characterised in comparison to their marine counterparts, however, the level of genetic diversity that exists in freshwater cyanophage communities is likely to exceed that found in marine environments, due to the habitat

Reliability of quantitative real-time PCR for bacterial detection in cystic fibrosis airway specimens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The cystic fibrosis (CF) airway microbiome is complex; polymicrobial infections are common, and the presence of fastidious bacteria including anaerobes make culture-based diagnosis challenging.

Clinical characteristics of bacterial vaginosis among women testing positive for fastidious bacteria [PDF]
Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2008 As the aetiology of bacterial vaginosis (BV) is not well understood, this study sought to determine the relationships between several fastidious microbes, BV and selected clinical characteristics of BV.Endometrial and cervical specimens from 50 women with non-gonococcal, non-chlamydial endometritis were tested for Leptotrichia sanguinegens/amnionii ...

Infective Endocarditis Caused by Slow-Growing, Fastidious, Gram-Negative Bacteria
Medicine, 1979 In a review of endocarditis caused by fastidious, slow-growing gram-negative rods, similarities in the spectrum of disease overshadow differences among cases grouped by specific organisms. Cardiobacterium hominis, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Haemophilus species usually seed previously damaged cardiac valves presumably during bacteremia ...
