Microbial cell surface proteins and secreted metabolites involved in multispecies biofilms
Abstract A considerable number of infectious diseases involve multiple microbial species coexisting and interacting in a host. Only recently however the impact of these polymicrobial diseases has been appreciated and investigated. Often, the causative microbial species are embedded in an extracellular matrix forming biofilms, a form of existence that offers protection against chemotherapeutic agents and host immune defenses. Therefore, recent efforts have focused on developing novel therapeutic strategies targeting biofilm‐associated polymicrobial infections, a task that has proved to be challenging. One promising approa...

Efficacy of dental unit disinfectants against Candida spp. and Hartmannella vermiformis
In conclusion, none of the tested disinfectants could eradicate yeasts or FLA. Moreover, the anti‐yeast activity of Oxygenal6© was reduced in presence of FLA. Both sessile or planktonic and/or mixed or single species conditions should be considered when evaluating the activity of disinfectants for DUWL maintenance. This study also highlighted that FLA should be included in the testing protocols. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology)

Biophysics of Biofilm Infection
This article examines a likely basis of the tenacity of biofilm infections that has received relatively little attention: the resistance of biofilms to mechanical clearance. One way that a biofilm infection persists is by withstanding the flow of fluid or other mechanical forces that work to wash or sweep microorganisms out of the body. The fundamental criterion for mechanical persistence is that the biofilm failure strength exceeds the external applied stress. Mechanical failure of the biofilm and release of planktonic microbial cells is also important in vivo because it can result in dissemination of infection. The funda...
