Journal ArticleDOI

A characterization of DNA release in Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultures and biofilms

TL;DR: Experiments with P. aeruginosa strains indicated that the extracellular DNA is generated via a mechanism which is dependent on acyl homoserine lactone and Pseudomonas quinolone signalling, as well as on flagella and type IV pili.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of Nitric Oxide in Biofilm Dispersal of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exposure to SNP greatly enhanced the efficacy of antimicrobial compounds in the removal of established P. aeruginosa biofilms from a glass surface and combined exposure to both NO and antimicrobial agents may offer a novel strategy to control preestablished, persistent P. aerobicaerobic bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Biofilm Formation and Increased Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents and Bacterial Invasion Are Caused by Synergistic Interactions in Multispecies Biofilms

TL;DR: It is strongly indicated that synergistic effects promote biofilm biomass and resistance of the biofilm to antimicrobial agents and bacterial invasion in multispecies biofilms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell Death in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Development

TL;DR: It is proposed that prophage-mediated cell death is an important mechanism of differentiation inside microcolonies that facilitates dispersal of a subpopulation of surviving cells in biofilms of P. aeruginosa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide signaling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms mediates phosphodiesterase activity, decreased cyclic Di-GMP levels, and enhanced dispersal

TL;DR: A role for c-di-GMP signaling in triggering the biofilm dispersal event induced by NO is suggested, as dispersal requires PDE activity and addition of NO stimulates PDE and induces the concomitant decrease in intracellular c- DiGMP levels in P. aeruginosa.
