AhrC and Eep are biofilm infection-associated virulence factors in Enterococcus faecalis.
Enterococcus faecalis is part of the human intestinal microbiome and is a prominent cause of health care-associated infections. The pathogenesis of many E. faecalis infections, including endocarditis and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), is related to the ability of clinical isolates to form biofilms. To identify chromosomal genetic determinants responsible for E. faecalis bi...
متن کاملImmune Evasion Mechanisms of Staphylococcus epidermidis Biofilm Infection
The primary virulence factor of the skin commensal and opportunistic pathogen, Staphylococcus epidermidis, is the ability to form biofilms on surfaces of implanted materials. Much of this microorganism's pathogenic success has been attributed to its ability to evade the innate immune system. The primary defense against S. epidermidis biofilm infection consists of complement activation, recruitm...
متن کاملExploring Mechanisms of Biofilm Removal
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of a novel anti-plaque formulation on oral biofilm removal. Specific aim was to elucidate the role of 2 potentially complementary mechanisms on dental biofilm removal using EPIEN Dental Debriding Solution (EDDS) like desiccating action leading to denaturation and destabilization of plaque and mechanical removal of destabilized plaque ...
متن کاملMechanisms Determining Bacterial Biofilm Resistance to Antimicrobial Factors
In most natural environments, the process of bacterial surface association is prevailing cells lifestyle. The tendency of bacteria to colonize solid materials is advantageous from an ecological standpoint. This mechanism allows bacteria the colonization of a nutritionally favorable new niche and encouraging symbiotic relationships between the cells. Sessile mode of growth provides also some lev...
متن کاملBiofilm and orthopaedic implant infection
Heledd Havard such as polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) leads to the creation of a protective extracellular matrix that acts as a physical and electrostatic barrier1. Recruitment, proliferation and maturation follow, resulting in the adhesion and incorporation of other microbes. In its early phase of formation, the structure of the biofilm is susceptible to the host immune system and a...
