Microsensor and transcriptomic signatures of oxygen depletion in biofilms associated with chronic wounds.
Biofilms have been implicated in delayed wound healing, although the mechanisms by which biofilms impair wound healing are poorly understood. Many species of bacteria produce exotoxins and exoenzymes that may inhibit healing. In addition, oxygen consumption by biofilms and by the responding leukocytes, may impede wound healing by depleting the oxygen that is required for healing. In this study,...
متن کاملMicrobial Biofilms and Chronic Wounds
Background is provided on biofilms, including their formation, tolerance mechanisms, structure, and morphology within the context of chronic wounds. The features of biofilms in chronic wounds are discussed in detail, as is the impact of biofilm on wound chronicity. Difficulties associated with the use of standard susceptibility tests (minimum inhibitory concentrations or MICs) to determine appr...
متن کاملChronic Wounds in Burn Injury: A Case Report on Importance of Biofilms
According to the National Institutes of Health and the Center for Disease and Prevention, it is estimated that 65 to 80 percent of the human infectious are caused by biofilms. Antibiotics and drainage of purulent discharge are the main treatment measures. But in chronic infections sometimes these findings are not easy to recognize. Biofilm is an extracellular polymeric conglomeration generally ...
متن کاملTranscriptomic analysis of gene signatures associated with sickle pain
Pain is a hallmark feature of sickle cell disease (SCD). Recurrent and unpredictable acute pain due to vaso-oclussive crises (VOC) is unique to SCD; and can be superimposed on chronic pain. To examine the mechanisms underlying pain in SCD, we performed RNA sequencing of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of transgenic sickle mice and their age-matched control mice expressing normal human hemoglobin A, ...
متن کاملA nitrite microsensor for profiling environmental biofilms.
A highly selective liquid membrane nitrite microsensor based on the hydrophobic ion-carrier aquocyanocobalt(III)-hepta(2-phenylethyl)-cobrynate is described. The sensor has a tip diameter of 10 to 15 (mu)m. The response is log-linear in freshwater down to 1 (mu)M NO(inf2)(sup-) and in seawater to 10 (mu)M NO(inf2)(sup-). A method is described for preparation of relatively large polyvinyl chlori...
