Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of hydrodynamics and nutrients on biofilm structure
TL;DR: Hydrodynamic conditions control two interlinked parameters; mass transfer and drag, and will, therefore, significantly influence many of the processes involved in biofilm development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural deformation of bacterial biofilms caused by short‐term fluctuations in fluid shear: An in situ investigation of biofilm rheology
TL;DR: This method developed a method which allowed us to conduct simple stress-strain and creep experiments on mixed and pure culture biofilms in situ by observing the structural deformations caused by changes in hydrodynamic shear stress (tau(w).
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth and detachment of cell clusters from mature mixed-species biofilms.
Paul Stoodley,Paul Stoodley,Suzanne Wilson,Luanne Hall-Stoodley,John D. Boyle,Hilary M. Lappin-Scott,J. W. Costerton +6 more
TL;DR: Digital time-lapse microscopy and biofilm flow cells visualized localized growth and detachment of discrete cell clusters in mature mixed-species biofilms growing under steady conditions in turbulent flow in situ to establish an infectious dose and public health risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of challenge temperature and solute type on heat tolerance of Salmonella serovars at low water activity
Karen Mattick,Frieda Jørgensen,P. Wang,J. Pound,M. H. Vandeven,L. R. Ward,J.D. Legan,Hilary M. Lappin-Scott,T. J. Humphrey +8 more
TL;DR: The predictions of thermal death rates in the low-aw foods were usually fail-safe, but the few exceptions highlight the importance of validating models with specific foods that may have additional factors affecting survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial properties of larval secretions of the blowfly, Lucilia sericata.
TL;DR: These secretions of larvae of the greenbottle fly Lucilia sericata were shown to be highly stable as a freeze‐dried preparation and may be a source of novel antibiotic‐like compounds that may be used for infection control and in the fight against MRSA.
