Effect of tyrosol on Staphylococcus aureus antimicrobial susceptibility, biofilm formation and virulence factors

Characterization of biofilm formation and virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from paediatric patients in Tehran, Iran

Objective(s): Staphylococcus aureus can cause several infections. Its capability to form biofilm has been reported to be a vital property involved in the bacteria’s pathogenesis. Various genes contributing to biofilm formation have not yet been completely clarified. This study was designed to evaluate the factors influencing adherence and biofilm formation in S. aureus...

Small colony variants in Staphylococcus aureus and other species: antibiotic selection, antimicrobial susceptibility, and biofilm formation

Does biofilm formation have different pathways in Staphylococcus aureus?

Objective(s): Biofilm formation is one of the most important factors in the development of infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. In this study, the expression levels of genes responsible for biofilm formation were studied in methicillin sensitive and methicillin resistant S. aureus.Materials and Methods: A total of 100 meticillin-r...

Evaluation of Wi-Fi Radiation Effects on Antibiotic Susceptibility, Metabolic Activity and Biofilm Formation by Escherichia Coli 0157H7, Staphylococcus Aureus and Staphylococcus Epidermis

Background: The radiation emitted from electromagnetic fields (EMF) can cause biological effects on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including non-thermal effects. Objective: The present study evaluated the non-thermal effects of wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) operating at 2.4 GHz part of non-ionizing EMF on different pathogenic bacterial strains (Escherichia coli 0157H7, Staphylococcus aureu...

Fluid dynamic factors as a cause and effect of biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms

Sherman, Erica, "Fluid dynamic factors as a cause and effect of biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms" (2016). Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are able to form biofilms and distinctive tower structures that facilitate their ability to tolerate treatment and to spread within the human body. The formation of towers, which break off, get carried downstream and serve to initiate biofil...
