The role of biofilms

Ebook "Fungal biofilms and related infections: Advances in microbiology, infectious diseases and public health (Volume 3)" covers the latest data available to understand the mechanisms causing the formation of single species fungal biofilms or polymicrobial biofilms involving fungal species; specific chapters present hot topics such as resistance mechanisms and composition and role of the matrix. Moreover, it reviews updated data on biofilms that contain yeasts or filamentous fungi and develop in the human body or in water and may cause infections.

One of the most important properties of the protease enzyme is to degrade the biofilm because removal of biofilms is very difficult. In industrial settings, both the inactivation and removal of biofilms are of huge concern. If only disinfection without the removal of attached biofilms occurs, the inactivated biofilm cells may provide an ideal environment for further adhesion and growth, resulting in a complex matrix. Microbial resistance to biocides and their negative environmental impact are the main reasons for finding alternative biofilm control strategies.

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that are attached to a surface and play a significant role in the persistence of bacterial infections. Biofilm bacteria are highly resistant to antimicrobial agents and host immune responses resulting in chronic infection. There is paucity of information regarding biofilm bacteria of veterinary importance and their role in disease pathogenesis.

This study included isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus from folliculitis patients then detection the bacterial ability for biofilm formation, because biofilm play very important role in pathogenicity and antibiotics resistance of bacteria. Fifty specimens have been collected, 47 (94%) specimens collected by swabbing gave positive culture and 3 (6%) specimens gave negative culture.

Staphylococcus spp is a major cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections and represents a significant burden on the healthcare system. Establishment of a mature biofilm, play an important role in the persistence of chronic infections and also decreases the susceptibility to antimicrobials and immune defenses, making these infections difficult to eradicate. MRSA and MR-CONS has become a major public health problem in both hospitals and communities. PVL has been reported to be an important marker for the highly pathogenic community acquired S. aureus infections.

The bacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) have huge applications in biotechnological and industrial sector. Biochemical composition determines its role in biofilm formation and pathogenicity as well as beneficial applications in various industries as thickeners, stabilizers, gelling agents etc. In the present study, aimed at screening the EPS producing bacteria from three species of brown seaweed and the EPS producing bacteria was isolated from Sargassium wightii.

The use of indwelling devices both temporary and permanent, in medical and surgical practice has led to the emergence of implant associated infections in the patients admitted in a Tertiary care hospital leading to partial or complete therapeutic failure. The study was conducted to detect and compare biofilm production in bacteria isolated from device related (DR) and non-device related (NDR) infections by Tissue Culture Method (TCP).

A plant’s microbiota has various implications for the plant’s health and performance; however, the roles of many microbial lineages, particularly Archaea, have not been explored in detail. In the present study, analysis of archaea-specific 16S rRNA gene fragments and shotgun-sequenced metagenomes was combined with visualization techniques to obtain the first insights into the archaeome of a common salad plant, arugula (Eruca sativa Mill.).

More than 2,500 serotypes of Salmonella exist. However, only some of these serotypes have been frequently associated with food-borne illnesses. This book contains nineteen chapters which cover a range of different topics, such as the role of foods in Salmonella infections, food-borne outbreaks caused by Salmonella, biofilm formation, antimicrobial drug resistance of Salmonella isolates, methods for controlling Salmonella in food, and Salmonella isolation and identification methods.
