เราเคยทำวิจัยศึกษากลไกหนึ่ง (เป็นหนึ่งในหลายๆกลไกของการดื้อยาค่ะ) คือเชื้อมันสามารถสร้างเกราะป้องกันให้ตัวเองได้ด้วยนะคะ เรียกว่า Biofilms แล้วคอมมูฯแบคก็อาศัยอยู่ในนั้น ยาเข้าถึงได้ยากกว่าเดิม ยิ่งอยู่กันในนั้นน้องแบคก็ยิ่งสามารถแลกเปลี่ยนยีนดื้อยากันได้อย่างสนุกสนาน

Just a boy with his biofilms days before a flood takes them and his sensors out

biofilms 101

The Armbruster Lab is officially open in the Department of Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh! We're studying how bacteria in biofilms persist in the built environment & transition into the host to cause infections. Happy to be here! 🤓

🎓We have 2 NBIC BITE CTP studentship opportunities available at University of Nottingham Biodiscovery Institute, focussed on developing polymicrobial oral #biofilm models

Applied business-related training will also occur during placements at Unilever

Check out our newest preprint:

P. aeruginosa uses pilus-mediated motility to invade and disperse S. aureus biofilms, rendering Sa cells susceptible to Pa antimicrobials. Without invasion Pa restricts Sa expansion forming dense Sa colonies with altered physiology Andrea Sánchez Peña

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! 🦠

Part 2: Interventions such as baby shampoo, essential oils, NAC and xylitol and baking soda, and propolis for breaking up biofilms and for general nasal irrigation.

🦠 Biofilms are incredibly robust. This makes them a great system to biomanufacture materials. It also makes them versatile structures for creating functional materials.

For SynBioBeta, I wrote about biofilms in biomanufacturing and advanced materials. synbiobeta.com/read/harnessin…

We are excited to have our MIRA grant funded by NIH! This generous support will enable our group to advance our work related to the eradication of bacterial biofilms and develop synthetic approaches to rapidly access new scaffolds from indole alkaloids to explore disease biology!

Check out our pre-print on a novel approach for making phage/antibiotic cocktails. Cocktails made with this strategy are effective against 96% of 153 Pseudomonas isolates, including biofilms and polyclonal wound infections. Off the shelf phage therapy? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Gastromyzon! I don't know which species this is, as they typically come in mixed and the genus is highly diverse throughout Borneo, but these little loaches are born for intense flow, clinging onto rocks like suction cups and grazing biofilms

Every school, residents , commercial building should be protecting our loved ones from these vile biofilms.

Not sure how I missed this but it seems that evidence is growing for blood clots having 'microbiomes' and even biofilms (tumors also are being shown to have distinct microbiomes).

'whole and intact bacteria as biofilm microcolonies in selected thrombi'

This really changes the…

Good night from Freddy 🦐
Finishing the remainder of his favourite barley snacks~

You use barley pellets for your shrimp as they eat the biofilms that grow on it as it breaks down. Freddy doesn’t even let the pellets soak up water and just crams them into his face ✨

I’ll be presenting my poster today at #Microbio24 conference in Edinburgh. Come to poster B170 to talk to me about my research on an effective natural product cocktail against biofilms of chronic wound pathogens.

Just received NOA for our R21 Cutting Edge Basic Research Award from NIDA to support our work on the role of microbial biofilms in substance abuse! Thanks to everyone that has supported this project! UAB CAPPI Aurelio Galli UAB Surgery CURA Program
