However, under non-selective conditions, maintaining a plasmid can be costly to the host cell. Nonetheless, plasmids are ubiquitous in nature where bacteria adopt their dominant mode of life - biofilms. Here, we demonstrate that biofilms can act as spatiotemporal reserves for plasmids, allowing ...

we tested if the presence of imipenem affected the production of cytotoxic pyocyanin, which has previously been shown to be upregulated during antibiotic exposure [59,60] and to have antimicrobial activity against multiple bacterial species [61,62]. We observed that culturing...

Cane Toads Cane toads are large amphibians with stocky bodies. They are native to the southern United States, Central America, and tropical South America. They are a particularly famous species due to their catastrophic release into Australia with the intent of reducing the cane beetle. They were...

Then explain why biofilms are a concern in medicine. Do most bacteria cause disease? Explain. How do bacterial cells reproduce? What do viruses do that make their replication completely different from that of bacteria? How does the whole-cell model contribute to remedies for ...
In contact lenses, specifically, bacterial populations develop into biofilms, which provide protection against higher dosages of antibacterial drugs in contrast to their free-floating planktonic forms [82]. 3.2. Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a popular organism for the study ...
As the activity of DspB against biofilms was clearly observed in Fig. 2, it is possible that either the C. elegans infection model is insufficient for evaluating chronic infection (despite our use of a slow-killing mode of infection38) or biofilm formation within C. elegans does not greatly...
