Escherichia coli Biofilm Development and Bacteriophage T4 Susceptibility
Previous studies demonstrated that the varying physiological properties of the stationary phase cells of Escherichia coli can cause varying susceptibility to T4 at different ages of the culture. These studies did not take into account that stationary phase bacteria include both free-floating and biofilm cells. In this study, we sought to distinguish whether free-floating or biofilm cells were r...
متن کاملPeriodicity of cell attachment patterns during Escherichia coli biofilm development.
The complex architecture of bacterial biofilms inevitably raises the question of their design. Microstructure of developing Escherichia coli biofilms was analyzed under static and laminar flow conditions. Cell attachment during early biofilm formation exhibited periodic density patterns that persisted during development. Several models for the origination of biofilm microstructure are considere...
متن کاملZinc oxide nanoparticle reduced biofilm formation and antigen 43 expressions in uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Objective(s): This study aimed to investigate the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-np) on biofilm formation and expression of the flu gene in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains. Materials and Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ZnO-np was determined by agar dilution method. The effect of MIC and sub-MIC concentrations of ZnO-np on biofilm formation were determin...
متن کاملRemoval of nickel and total chromium using Escherichia coli biofilm supported on clinoptilolite
-Biofilm is communities of microorganisms attached to the surface and is able to concentrate metal species within their cell structure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to produce Escherichia coli biofilm on zeolite (clinoptilolite) and evaluate its ability for nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) adsorption from aqueous solutions. A laboratory-scale batch model was used for biodsorption assay. Th...
متن کاملBiomolecular Mechanisms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli Biofilm Formation
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli are the most prevalent Gram-negative biofilm forming medical device associated pathogens, particularly with respect to catheter associated urinary tract infections. In a similar manner to Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative biofilm formation is fundamentally determined by a series of steps outlined more fully in this review, namely adhesion, cellula...
