TLDR
The recent focus on complex bacterial communities has led to the recognition of interactions across species boundaries, particularly pronounced in multispecies biofilms, where synergistic interactions impact the bacterial distribution and overall biomass produced.About:

Dissertation
Biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance on alginate beads of Staphylococcus aureus and other health care associated bacterial species
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present Table and Figures iii and Table and Figure iv : Tables and Figures of the authors' work. But they do not specify the authorship of these tables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oenococcus oeni Lifestyle Modulates Wine Volatilome and Malolactic Fermentation Outcome.
Rosanna Tofalo,Noemi Battistelli,Giorgia Perpetuini,Luca Valbonetti,Alessio Pio Rossetti,Carlo Perla,Camillo Zulli,Giuseppe Arfelli +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, nine Oenococcus oeni strains were tested for their ability to adhere to polystyrene using mMRS and wine as culture media, and planktonic and biofilm-detached cells were investigated for their influence on malic acid degradation kinetics and aroma compound production.
Journal ArticleDOI
One Health—One Biofilm
Mario Jacques,François Malouin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed that the One Health concept also exists, where biofilm/aggregate formation in humans, animals and the environment are also intricately linked, which is similar to the One Biofilm concept.

Biofilm Formation by Monocultures and Mixed Cultures of Alcaligenes faecalis 2 and Rhodococcus ruber gt 1
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative method for assessment of the output of the polymer matrix by the fluorescence of konA-tetramethylrhodamine was developed, and the medium used for obtaining mixed biofilms of Al. faecalis 2 and Rhodococcus ruber gt 1 contained acetamide and glucose as carbon sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal Metabolic Modeling of a Chronic Wound Biofilm Consortium
TL;DR: A spatiotemporal model was developed to analyze the multispecies metabolism of a biofilm consortium comprised of two common chronic wound isolates: the aerobe Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the facultative anaerobe Staphylococcus aureus and demonstrated the tendency of the two bacteria to spatially partition due to nutrient gradients.

Mechanisms of biofilm resistance to antimicrobial agents
Thien-Fah Mah,George A. O'Toole +1 more
TL;DR: Owing to the heterogeneous nature of the biofilm, it is likely that there are multiple resistance mechanisms at work within a single community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival strategies of infectious biofilms.
TL;DR: Current concepts of biofilm tolerance are reviewed with special emphasis on the role of the biofilm matrix and the physiology ofBiofilm-embedded cells, and the heterogeneity in metabolic and reproductive activity within a biofilm correlates with a non-uniform susceptibility of enclosed bacteria.
