Biofilms of Campylobacter concisus: a potential survival mechanism in the oral cavity

Campylobacter concisus, a member of the human’s oral microflora, is Gram-negative, fastidious, microaerophilic bacterium. However, it debatable whether should be recognised as commensal human cavity, or an opportunistic pathogen has been linked to and gastrointestinal infections. But there no doubt that its biofilm-forming capacity enhanced survival mechanism pathogen. Hence, through our investigation assess C. concisus biofilms, we believe strategy in cavity by being protected biofilm environment with other microbes. Our hypothesis supported findings isolates this bacterium possess significantly higher forming capability than those isolated from tract.
