Interactions between Streptococcus pneumoniae and Moraxella catarrhalis in polymicrobial communities affect antimicrobial resistance and survival in vivo
… that these bacteria are able to form biofilms on the mucosal epithelial cell surface. Recent studies have shown that these bacteria not only form biofilms in the middle ears of patients and experimentally infected animals with otitis media, but these surface-attached communities may …

Investigating the Role of Trimeric Autotransporter Adhesins in Fusobacterium nucleatum Pathogenesis
… bacterium that serves as a bridging organism in polymicrobial biofilms within the oral cavity. Although the bacterium is abundant in healthy gingival tissue, recent studies have found that F. nucleatum is associated with a wide-spectrum of human diseases which include periodontal disease, preterm …

Pasteurella multocida biofilm formation, and the interrelationship of P. multocida with Histophilus somni in a polymicrobial biofilm during bovine respiratory disease
… mucoid strains. Capsule-deficient mutants formed biofilms with a larger biomass that was much thicker and smoother than encapsulated strains. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and enzymatic digestion demonstrated that the matrix material of the biofilm was composed …

Functionalization of PVC using a mussel-inspired coating strategy to target the polymicrobial nature of ventilator-associated pneumonia
… for ETTs to prevent VAP occurrence. Since the polymicrobial (intra- and interkingdom) nature of VAP is of particular concern, this work also aimed to understand the interactions within these consortia as well as to inspect their impact on the efficacy of the engineered surfaces. Through an in …
