TL;DR: Based on the overall data, it can be speculated that reciprocal interferences occur between the different bacterial species in CF lung, regardless the level of oxygen.

TL;DR: The interactions between two emerging species, Inquilinus limosus and Dolosigranulum pigrum, and the conventional CF pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa are investigated by evaluating the ability to develop biofilms of mixed populations and then studying their susceptibility patterns to eight different antimicrobials.

TL;DR: Examination of whether the continuous exposure of single and binary P. aeruginosa and E. coli biofilms to sub‐lethal benzalkonium chloride (BC) doses can induce adaptive response of bacteria revealed that those adaptedBiofilms had a slimier and denser matrix that became thicker after BC treatment.

TL;DR: The intention of the minimum information guideline is to improve the quality of scientific communication that will augment interlaboratory reproducibility in biofilm microplate assays.

TL;DR: The minimum information about a biofilm experiment (MIABiE) initiative has arisen from the need to find an adequate and scientifically sound way to control the quality of the documentation accompanying the public deposition of biofilm-related data, particularly those obtained using high-throughput devices and techniques.
