Biofilms as Complex Differentiated Communities
▪ Abstract Prokaryotic biofilms that predominate in a diverse range of ecosystems are often composed of highly structured multispecies communities. Within these communities meta...

Scanning confocal laser microscopy (SCLM) was used to visualize fully hydrated microbial biofilms. The improved rejection of out-of-focus haze and the increased resolution of SC...
Electrical enhancement of biocide efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms
When applied within a low-strength electric field (+/- 12 V/cm) with a low current density (+/- 2.1 mA/cm2), several industrial biocides exhibited enhanced killing action agains...
Antibody response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa surface protein antigens in a rat model of chronic lung infection
For an animal model of infection to be useful in immunological studies it is necessary to establish that the surface antigens expressed by bacteria growing in vivo in the experi...
Bacterial biofilms: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
Bacteria have traditionally been regarded as individual organisms growing in homogeneous planktonic populations. However, bacteria in natural environments usually form communiti...
Dynamic interactions of biofilms of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa with tobramycin and piperacillin
The dynamic interaction of planktonic and biofilm cells of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa with tobramycin and piperacillin was investigated in a chemostat system. The results ind...
Susceptibility of biofilm cells of<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>to bactericidal actions of whole blood and serum
The planktonic and young biofilm cells (harvested on day 2) of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa were susceptible to the bactericidal actions of whole blood and serum. Aging biofilm...
