In perspective of the issue of how to begin simultaneous nitrification, anammox, and denitrification (SNAD) rapidly, the sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) was adopted to enrich ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anammox bacteria (AnAOB) rapidly and to inhibit nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) after three phases (67 days) of culture, and the ...

This study aims to describe the content of polymeric matrix components under different incubation temperatures and pH levels. Optimal biofilm production of 15 S. Virchow isolates occurred following the incubation in LB-NaCl for 72 h, at pH 6.6 and 20 °C. The expression of csgA, csgD, adrA and bcsA genes at 20 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C in S. Virchow DMC18...

This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and biofilm anti-adhesion activities of poly(vinyl alcohol)-coated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-PVA) and farnesol against Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum microbicidal concentration (MMC) of the solutions, as well as th...

BackgroundEnterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157) causes bloody diarrhea and hemolytic-uremic syndrome. EHEC O157 encounters varied microenvironments during infection, and can efficiently adapt to these using the two-component system (TCS). Recently, a functional TCS, RstAB, has been implicated in the regulation of virulence of sever...

The aim of this study is to develop bio-film based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and oil palm mesocarp fibre (OPMF). Rheological and mechanical properties of the biofilm were investigated using melt flow index and tensile test respectively. The produced films were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calo...

In this study, zwitterionic polymer brushes with controlled architecture were grafted on the surface of gravity-driven membrane (GDM) via surface-initiated reaction to impart antifouling property. A variety of membrane characterization techniques were conducted to demonstrate the successful functionalization of zwitterionic polymers on PVDF hollow ...

This study investigated the effects of reserpine, the main bioactive compound of Rauwolfia serpentina, on biofilm formation and biofilm-associated virulence factors production in a Gram-positive pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus. Crystal violet assay, MTT assay, Congo red binding, CLSM studies were performed to assess the antibiofilm activity. Molecu...

Les infections en biofilm, notamment de dispositifs médicaux, mettent fréquemment en échec les traitements antibiotiques, imposant le retrait du matériel. Pseudomonas aeruginosa s’est imposé comme le pathogène-type des infections en biofilm. Pour explorer les déterminants de l’échec du traitement antibiotique en biofilm, un modèle de biofilm in vit...

Microbial pathogenesis
Catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a highly prevalent hospital-acquired infection that is predominantly caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). It adheres on catheter surface using type I pili as the initial step of pathogenesis that progresses to form biofilm. In this study, potential inhibitors against FimH adhesin of...

The use of rubber has increased over the years, leading to a series of environmental problems due to its indefinite decomposition time. Bioremediation employing microorganisms have drawn an increasing interest and originated several studies of microbial rubber degradation. Genome sequencing and in silico analysis demonstrated that G. paraffinivoran...
