Bacterial cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase activity coordinates biofilm formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Biofilm-related infections are a major contributor to human disease, and the capacity for surface attachment and biofilm formation are key attributes for the pathogenesis of microbes. Serratia marcescens type I fimbriae-dependent biofilms are coordinated

Mechanisms of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2016 Pathobiont expansion, such as that of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), is an emerging factor associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against these pathogens.

Necrotrophic growth of periodontopathogens is a novel virulence factor in oral biofilms [PDF]
, 2017 The oral use of antimicrobial agents embedded in toothpastes and mouth rinses results in an oral microbial massacre with high amounts of dead bacteria in close proximity to few surviving bacteria.

Adhesion of Escherichia Coli to Nanostructured Surfaces and the Role of Type 1 Fimbriae
Nanomaterials, 2020 Bacterial fimbriae are an important virulence factor mediating adhesion to both biotic and abiotic surfaces and facilitating biofilm formation. The expression of type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli is a key virulence factor for urinary tract infections ...

Effect of d-Mannose on Fimbriae of Bacterial Isolates From Chicken Carcasses
Poultry Science, 1990 Pseudomonad-like microbial isolates were obtained from commercially processed broiler chicken carcasses for use in experiments to determine if d-mannose would interfere with their ability to form pellicles and rims and prevent agglutination of blood and yeast cells.
