NPJ biofilms and microbiomes

Gomez-Carretero S, Libberton B, Rhen M, Richter-Dahlfors A.
PMID: 28883986
NPJ Biofilms Microbiomes. 2017 Sep 04;3:19. doi: 10.1038/s41522-017-0027-0. eCollection 2017.

Biofouling is a major problem caused by bacteria colonizing abiotic surfaces, such as medical devices. Biofilms are formed as the bacterial metabolism adapts to an attached growth state. We studied whether bacterial metabolism, hence biofilm formation, can be modulated...

The making of a miscreant: tobacco smoke and the creation of pathogen-rich biofilms.

Shah SA, Ganesan SM, Varadharaj S, Dabdoub SM, Walters JD, Kumar PS.

NPJ Biofilms Microbiomes. 2017 Oct 24;3:26. doi: 10.1038/s41522-017-0033-2. eCollection 2017.

We have previously reported that oral biofilms in clinically healthy smokers are pathogen-rich, and that this enrichment occurs within 24 h of biofilm formation. The present investigation aimed to identify a mechanism by which smoking creates this altered community...

Biofilm-associated bacterial amyloids dampen inflammation in the gut: oral treatment with curli fibres reduces the severity of hapten-induced colitis in mice.

NPJ biofilms and microbiomes

Oppong GO, Rapsinski GJ, Tursi SA, Biesecker SG, Klein-Szanto AJ, Goulian M, McCauley C, Healy C, Wilson RP, Tükel C.
PMID: 26855788
NPJ Biofilms Microbiomes. 2015;1. doi: 10.1038/npjbiofilms.2015.19. Epub 2015 Oct 14.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: A disruption of epithelial barrier function can lead to intestinal inflammation. Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 activation by microbial products promotes intestinal epithelial integrity and overall gut health. Several bacterial species, including enteric bacteria, actively produce amyloid proteins as...

Fighting biofilms with lantibiotics and other groups of bacteriocins.

NPJ Biofilms Microbiomes. 2018 Apr 19;4:9. doi: 10.1038/s41522-018-0053-6. eCollection 2018.

Biofilms are sessile communities of bacteria typically embedded in an extracellular polymeric matrix. Bacterial cells embedded in biofilms are inherently recalcitrant to antimicrobials, compared to cells existing in a planktonic state, and are notoriously difficult to eradicate once formed....

GePMI: A statistical model for personal intestinal microbiome identification.

Human gut microbiomes consist of a large number of microbial genomes, which vary by diet and health conditions and from individual to individual. In the present work, we asked whether such variation or similarity could be measured and, if...

Host and bacterial proteases influence biofilm formation and virulence in a murine model of enterococcal catheter-associated urinary tract infection.

Effect of electrical energy on the efficacy of biofilm treatment using the bioelectric effect.

NPJ biofilms and microbiomes

Kim YW, Subramanian S, Gerasopoulos K, Ben-Yoav H, Wu HC, Quan D, Carter K, Meyer MT, Bentley WE, Ghodssi R.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The use of electric fields in combination with small doses of antibiotics for enhanced treatment of biofilms is termed the 'bioelectric effect' (BE). Different mechanisms of action for the AC and DC fields have been reported in the...

Micromanagement in the gut: microenvironmental factors govern colon mucosal biofilm structure and functionality.

The human gut microbiome provides us with functional features that we did not have to evolve ourselves and can be viewed as a structured microbial community that operates like a microbial organ within the human host. A minor but...
