Bacteria from the Vibrio genus are autochthonous to aquatic environments and ubiquitous in
aquaculture production systems. Many Vibrio species are non-pathogenic and can be …

Notably, bacterial biofilm formation is increasingly recognized as a passive virulence factor
facilitating many infectious disease processes. In this review we will focus on bacterial …

Nearly all bacteria form biofilms as a strategy for survival and persistence. Biofilms are
associated with biotic and abiotic surfaces and are composed of aggregates of cells that are …

Many bacteria swim in liquid or swarm over solid surfaces by synthesizing rotary flagella.
The same bacteria that are motile also commonly form nonmotile multicellular aggregates …

Formation of a bacterial biofilm is a developmental process that begins when a cell attaches
to a surface, but how does a bacterial cell know it is on or near a surface in the first place …

▪ Abstract Prokaryotic biofilms that predominate in a diverse range of ecosystems are often
composed of highly structured multispecies communities. Within these communities …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that live attached to surfaces. Biofilm formation
has received much attention in the last decade, as it has become clear that virtually all types …

Vibrios are ubiquitous and abundant in the aquatic environment. A high abundance of
vibrios is also detected in tissues and/or organs of various marine algae and animals, eg …

The formation of bacterial biofilms is initiated by cells transitioning from the free-swimming
mode of growth to a surface. This review is aimed at highlighting the common themes that …

It is now well accepted that Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the water-borne disease
cholera, is acquired from environmental sources where it persists between outbreaks of the …
