TL;DR: The current knowledge about bacterial growth within a biofilm and the preventive or inducer impact of standard antimicrobials on its formation by P. aeruginosa is reviewed and two in vitro devices which could potentially be used as antibiotic susceptibility testing for adherent bacteria are described.

TL;DR: Functional analysis showed that functions related to transformation/competence and surface proteins including Internalins were highly enriched in L. monocytogenes, and there were no clear associations between biofilm formation efficiency and persistent or prevalent genotypes.

TL;DR: The BioFilm Ring Test (BRT) was used to estimate the biofilm formation kinetics of 25 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from the sputum of cystic fibrosis patients, and is shown to be an informative tool for the characterization of biofilm-forming bacteria.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that the biofilm phenotype of clinical S. aureus isolates from ODIs is strongly related to their respective CC affiliation, and early biofilm formation was significantly slower than the CC5, CC15 and CC45 strains.

TL;DR: This study describes the clinical and surgical management of BJIs caused by S. lugdunensis and shows that 1-stage prosthesis exchange procedures may be efficient and that biofilm production by this strain was not marginal and directly impacted clinical and surgery management.
