A 2D cellular automaton biofilm detachment algorithm
(2012)A cellular-automaton based two-dimensional biofilm detachment module is developed. The module is an improvement of previously presented methodologies for modeling biofilm detachment under the influence of hydrodynamic ... -
The adhesive contact of a flat punch on a hyperelastic substrate subject to a pull-out force or a bending moment
(2011)In the last decade; instrumented macro- and nano-indentation tests have become useful tools for probing mechanical properties of materials. In this context, little in-depth work has been done for soft bio-materials like ... -
Dynamics of biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes on stainless steel under mono-species and mixed-culture simulated fish processing conditions and chemical disinfection challenges
(2018)The progressive ability of a six-strains L. monocytogenes cocktail to form biofilm on stainless steel (SS), under fish-processing simulated conditions, was investigated, together with the biocide tolerance of the developed ... -
Evaluation of efficacy of a biofilm-embedded bacteria-based vaccine against staphylococcal mastitis in sheep—A randomized, placebo-controlled field study
(2019)Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of a vaccine against staphylococcal mastitis in 5 dairy sheep farms, with 316 ewes in the vaccinated (V) group and 307 in the control (C) group studied throughout a lactation ... -
Experimental study for evaluation of the efficacy of a biofilm-embedded bacteria-based vaccine against Staphylococcus chromogenes-associated mastitis in sheep
(2019)Although coagulase-negative staphylococci are the primary aetiological agents of subclinical mastitis in ewes, there is little information regarding vaccination against that infection. The objective of this study was to ... -
Finite element modeling to expand the UMCCA model to describe biofilm mechanical behavior
(2005)In order to understand the influence of biofilm's physical and microbiological structures on its mechanical behavior, a finite element model that describes the structural mechanics of a composite solid is linked to the ... -
High-throughput method development for in-situ quantification of aquatic phototrophic biofilms
(2022)In the maritime field where biofouling has both economic and environmental impacts, in situ quantification methods of biofilm development are of outstanding importance. Indeed, it is challenging to temporally monitor biofilm ... -
In vitro Inhibition of Biofilm Formation on Silicon Rubber Voice Prosthesis: Î' Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2022)Introduction: Biofilm formation on voice prostheses is the primary reason for their premature implant dysfunction. Multiple strategies have been proposed over the last decades to achieve inhibition of biofilm formation on ... -
Isolation and characterization of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from milk of dairy goats under low-input farm management in Greece
(2020)The presence of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in raw milk is a challenge for veterinarians and public health professionals. In this study, we investigated the presence and clonality of ... -
Klebsiella pneumoniae: Virulence, Biofilm and Antimicrobial Resistance
(2017)[No abstract available] -
Slime-producing staphylococci as causal agents of subclinical mastitis in sheep
(2018)Hitherto, research work in slime production from staphylococcal strains of mastitis origin has focused in laboratory properties of these organisms. Objective of present work was to study subclinical mastitis in sheep, ... -
Variation in the mechanical properties of a porous multi-phase biofilm under compression due to void closure
(2007)Biofilm properties change drastically from one point to another inside the matrix, and from one minute to the next, bringing about similar variations in biofilm mechanical properties, both in time and space. In this article, ...
