The aim of this study is to identify an appropriate expression to model the net surface Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm detachment. Measured values of biofilm thickness, biomass concentration, low rate shear stress and substrate concentrations were used to calibrate detachment models. Most literature models were able to stabilize the simulated biofilm after parameter estimation, however, few showed good quality of fit. Multi-parameter models proposed here gave good quality of fit, but estimated uncertainties of the parameter values were high. Detachment rate expressions which included biofilm biomass failed parameter estimation. Based on sensitivity analysis, model complexity and residual least square error (quality of fit), it was concluded that both a growth relation, a lumped parameter describing biofilm size and imposed shear stress, should be included in the overall surface detachment Pseudomonas aeruginosa model.The mechanisms and modeling of surface biofilm detachment are evaluated in this study using data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa experiments and a standard one dimensional mass balance biofilm modeling approach.

One-step purification and characterization of alginate lyase from a clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa with destructive activity on bacterial biofilm
Objective(s): Pseudomonas aeruginosais a Gram-negative and aerobic rod bacterium that displays mucoid and non-mucoid phenotype. Mucoid strains secrete alginate, which is the main agent of biofilms in chronic P. aeruginosa infections, show high resistance to antibiotics; consequently, the biological disruption of mucoid P. aeruginosa biofilms is an attractive area of study for researchers. Algin...
متن کاملPredictive Computer Models for Biofilm Detachment Properties in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Microbial biofilm communities are protected against environmental extremes or clearance by antimicrobial agents or the host immune response. They also serve as a site from which microbial populations search for new niches by dispersion via single planktonic cells or by detachment by protected biofilm aggregates that, until recently, were thought to become single cells ready for attachment. Math...
متن کاملStatistical quantification of detachment rates and size distributions of cell clumps from wild-type (PAO1) and cell signaling mutant (JP1) Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.
The detachment of cells from bacterial biofilms is an important, yet poorly understood and largely unquantified phenomenon. Detached cell clumps from medical devices may form microemboli and lead to metastasis, especially if they are resistant to host defenses and antibiotics. In manufacturing plants detached clumps entering a process stream decrease product quality. Two strains of Pseudomonas ...
متن کاملNovel Multiscale Modeling Tool Applied to Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Formation
Multiscale modeling is used to represent biological systems with increasing frequency and success. Multiscale models are often hybrids of different modeling frameworks and programming languages. We present the MATLAB-NetLogo extension (MatNet) as a novel tool for multiscale modeling. We demonstrate the utility of the tool with a multiscale model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation that ...
متن کاملHigh-throughput screens for small-molecule inhibitors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm development.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is both a model biofilm-forming organism and an opportunistic pathogen responsible for chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and infections in burn patients, among other maladies. Here we describe the development of an efficient high-throughput screen to identify small-molecule modulators of biofilm formation. This screen has been run with 66,095 compou...
