DOI: 10.1007/s12223-019-00761-9
Abstract: Due to the nature of Vibrio vulnificus infections (i.e., gastroenteritis and septicemia), only very few studies of a biofilm-associated form in this pathogen’s life cycle have been conducted. We proposed that biofilm production by clinical… read more here.

Biofilm properties in relation to treatment outcome in patients with first-time periprosthetic hip or knee joint infection
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Orthopaedic Translation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2021.05.008
Abstract: Background Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are challenging complications following arthroplasty. Staphylococci are a frequent cause of PJI and known biofilm producers. Biofilm formation decreases antimicrobial susceptibility, thereby challenging favourable treatment outcomes. The aims of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.06.09.495547
Abstract: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterococcus faecalis are major causes of hospital-acquired infections. Numerous clinical strains harbor a large pathogenicity island that encodes enterococcal surface protein (Esp), which is suggested to promote biofilm production and virulence, but this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.15775
Abstract: Biofilms of heterotrophic bacteria cover organic matter aggregates and constitute hotspots of mineralization, primarily acting through extracellular hydrolytic enzyme production. Nevertheless, regulation of both biofilm and hydrolytic enzyme synthesis remains poorly investigated, especially in estuarine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/iai.00538-22
Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus generates biofilms during many chronic human infections, which contributes to its growth and persistence in the host. Multiple genes and pathways necessary for S. aureus biofilm production have been identified, but knowledge is… read more here.
