In vitro Biofilm Formation in an 8-well Chamber Slide
The chronic nature of many diseases is attributed to the formation of bacterial biofilms which are recalcitrant to traditional antibiotic therapy. Biofilms are community-associated bacteria attached to a surface and encased in a matrix. The role of the extracellular matrix is multifaceted, including facilitating nutrient acquisition, and offers significant protection against environmental stres...
متن کاملBacterial Biofilm Formation in Milking Equipments in Lilongwe, Malawi
Background: Some microorganisms can adhere to food handling surfaces forming biofilms that pose a safety challenge. This study was done to evaluate bacterial biofilm formation in milking equipments in Lilongwe, Malawi. Methods: Pooled milk (n=54) and water (n=60) samples were collected from households and milk bulking groups in Lilongwe, Malawi. Swabbing (n=46) and rinsing (n=16) were done on ...
متن کاملDoes 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...
متن کاملEffects of biofilm formation in bacteria from different perspectives
Bacterial communities are able to form complex and three-dimensional biofilm structures. Biofilm formation is an ancient and integral component of the prokaryotic life cycle and a key factor for survival in diverse niches. In biofilms, bacterial lifestyle changes from free-floating cells to sessile cells. Presence in biofilms gives new traits to bacteria, which distinguish them from free cells....
متن کاملBiofilm formation in Campylobacter jejuni.
The major gastrointestinal pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is shown to exist as three forms of monospecies biofilm in liquid culture. It attaches to a glass surface; forms an unattached aggregate (floc); and forms a pellicle at the liquid-gas interface. The three forms of biofilm resemble each other when examined by scanning electron microscopy. The biofilm mode of growth confers protection again...
