Streptococcus gordonii modulates Candida albicans biofilm formation through intergeneric communication.
The fungus Candida albicans colonizes human oral cavity surfaces in conjunction with a complex microflora. C. albicans SC5314 formed biofilms on saliva-coated surfaces that in early stages of development consisted of approximately 30% hyphal forms. In mixed biofilms with the oral bacterium Streptococcus gordonii DL1, hyphal development by C. albicans was enhanced so that biofilms consisted of a...
متن کاملTobacco Smoke Augments Porphyromonas gingivalis - Streptococcus gordonii Biofilm Formation
Smoking is responsible for the majority of periodontitis cases in the US and smokers are more susceptible than non-smokers to infection by the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. P. gingivalis colonization of the oral cavity is dependent upon its interaction with other plaque bacteria, including Streptococcus gordonii. Microarray analysis suggested that exposure of P. gingivalis to c...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus CcpA affects biofilm formation.
Biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus under in vitro growth conditions is generally promoted by high concentrations of sugar and/or salts. The addition of glucose to routinely used complex growth media triggered biofilm formation in S. aureus strain SA113. Deletion of ccpA, coding for the catabolite control protein A (CcpA), which regulates gene expression in response to the carbon source,...
متن کاملInvolvement of the adc operon and manganese homeostasis in Streptococcus gordonii biofilm formation.
Pioneer oral bacteria, including Streptococcus gordonii, initiate the formation of oral biofilms on tooth surfaces, which requires differential expression of genes that recognize unique environmental cues. An S. gordonii::Tn917-lac biofilm-defective mutant was isolated by using an in vitro biofilm formation assay. Subsequent inverse PCR and sequence analyses identified the transposon insertion ...
