Researchers show that MRSA secretes an enzyme known as thermonuclease that causes bacteria to detach from biofilms; it may play a role in the spread and survival of MRSA biofilms during biofilm-related infections. Learn more in mSphere: asm.social/1RS

What may be preventing your gut from healing?

It may be from biofilm

Biofilms can be impenetrable by antibiotics or immune cells, can increase inflammation, and dictate the environment of the gut.

Like plaque in your teeth, they are a hardened structure made out of a matrix

Amoebae hunt and eat bacteria hiding in biofilms.

By studying the compounds that amoebae produce to break down these antibiotic tolerant biofilms, “we as researchers can see what it produces and mimic it” Ilana Kolodkin-Gal אוניברסיטת רייכמן Reichman University told Stephanie DeMarco, PhD.

Having a great time at #microbio24 this week in Edinburgh! If you're interested in polymicrobial UTI biofilms make sure you stick around till Thursday when I'm giving at talk at 12:35 in the biofilms prevention and control session! 🦠

Los sistemas de agua de las unidades dentales son propensos a la formación de biofilms de los que algunas partículas pueden desprenderse como aerosoles y ser inhaladas por el paciente o por el personal, pudiendo causar infecciones.

Part 1: Nasal irrigation and breaking up biofilms in the nose

Where there is mucosal surface there is increased opportunity for biofilms and opportunistic pathogens.
Treating 'whole body pathogen load' is not just about the GUT. It is necessary to address tissues throughout the body. The NOSE is a prime site for biofilms.

Lana Del Rey as Staphylococcus aureus. Staph can form biofilms, “sticking” on heart valves ❤️‍🩹 and other prosthetic material. Lana herself appears trapped in a biofilm.

Had a blast presenting in PhD flash talks at the Northern Skin Club inaugural meeting, organised by my supervisor and sponsored by SMiHA. Very brief talk on S. aureus biofilms in chronic wounds🦠A busy month full of conferences and meetings, time to get back to work🧫

🌌 Witnessed the #NorthernLights tonight from my front door!

Biofilms: The Cities of Microbes.
Microbial Biofilms represent a community of microorganisms, associated to an inert or living surface and encased within an extracellular polymeric matrix.
