Genetic analysis of Salmonella enteritidis biofilm formation: critical role of cellulose
We report here a new screening method based on the fluorescence of colonies on calcofluor agar plates to identify transposon insertion mutants of Salmonella enteritidis that are defective in biofilm… Expand
BapA, a large secreted protein required for biofilm formation and host colonization of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis
- Cristina Latasa, A. Roux, +4 authors I. Lasa
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular microbiology
- 1 December 2005
In environmental settings, biofilms represent the common way of life of microorganisms. Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis, the most frequent cause of gastroenteritis in developed countries,… Expand
Global impact of mature biofilm lifestyle on Escherichia coli K‐12 gene expression
- C. Beloin, J. Valle, +8 authors Jean-Marc Ghigo
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular microbiology
- 16 December 2003
The formation of biofilm results in a major lifestyle switch that is thought to affect the expression of multiple genes and operons. We used DNA arrays to study the global effect of biofilm formation… Expand
Candida albicans Biofilms: a Developmental State Associated With Specific and Stable Gene Expression Patterns
- Susana García-Sánchez, S. Aubert, I. Iraqui, G. Janbon, Jean-Marc Ghigo, C. d’Enfert
- Biology, Medicine
- Eukaryotic Cell
- 1 April 2004
ABSTRACT Like many bacteria, yeast species can form biofilms on several surfaces. Candida albicans colonizes the surfaces of catheters, prostheses, and epithelia, forming biofilms that are extremely… Expand
SarA and not σB is essential for biofilm development by Staphylococcus aureus
- J. Valle, A. Toledo-Arana, +4 authors Í. Lasa
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular microbiology
- 1 May 2003
Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation is associated with the production of the polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA/PNAG), the product of the ica operon. The staphylococcal accessory… Expand
CpxR/OmpR interplay regulates curli gene expression in response to osmolarity in Escherichia coli.
- G. Jubelin, A. Vianney, +4 authors C. Dorel
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of bacteriology
- 15 March 2005
Curli fibers could be described as a virulence factor able to confer adherence properties to both abiotic and eukaryotic surfaces. The ability to adapt rapidly to changing environmental conditions… Expand
Silent mischief: bacteriophage Mu insertions contaminate products of Escherichia coli random mutagenesis performed using suicidal transposon delivery plasmids mobilized by broad-host-range RP4…
- Lionel Ferrières, Gaëlle Hémery, +4 authors Jean-Marc Ghigo
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of bacteriology
- 15 December 2010
Random transposon mutagenesis is the strategy of choice for associating a phenotype with its unknown genetic determinants. It is generally performed by mobilization of a conditionally replicating… Expand
Natural conjugative plasmids induce bacterial biofilm development
- Jean-Marc Ghigo
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 26 July 2001
Horizontal gene transfer is a principal source of evolution leading to change in the ecological character of bacterial species. Bacterial conjugation, which promotes the horizontal transfer of… Expand
Definitions and guidelines for research on antibiotic persistence
- N. Balaban, Sophie Helaine, +22 authors A. Zinkernagel
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Microbiology
- 12 April 2019
Increasing concerns about the rising rates of antibiotic therapy failure and advances in single-cell analyses have inspired a surge of research into antibiotic persistence. Bacterial persister cells… Expand
Antibiofilm polysaccharides.
- Olaya Rendueles, J. Kaplan, Jean-Marc Ghigo
- Biology, Medicine
- Environmental microbiology
- 1 February 2013
Bacterial extracellular polysaccharides have been shown to mediate many of the cell-to-cell and cell-to-surface interactions that are required for the formation, cohesion and stabilization of… Expand
