Biofilm spatial organization by the emerging pathogen Campylobacter jejuni: comparison between NCTC 11168 and 81-176 strains under microaerobic and oxygen-enriched conditions

Abstract: During the last years, Campylobacter has emerged as the leading cause of bacterial foodborne infections in developed countries. Described as an obligate microaerophile, Campylobacter has puzzled scientists by surviving a wide range of environmental oxidative stresses on foods farm to retail, and thereafter intestinal transit and oxidative damage from macrophages to cause human infection. In this study, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to explore the biofilm development of two well-described C… Show more

“…Biofilm consists of population(s) of bacteria, which adhere to a surface and to each other and are enclosed in a network of biopolymers. Bacteria in biofilm are known to be more resistant to detergents and phagocytosis than planktonic bacteria (Hanning et al, ; Reuter et al, ; Teh et al, ; Bronowski et al, ; Turonova et al, ). This may pose a risk of subsequent broiler chicken flocks being exposed to Campylobacter (Teh et al, ).…”

“…Biofilm formation is influenced by many factors, including QS, the presence of flagella and specific surface proteins, substrate composition, and physicochemical properties of both cells and the substrate [Turonova et al, 2015]. The lack or presence of important nutrients for bacterial metabolism in media can influence the production of signaling molecules and may have an impact on biofilm structure [Zhang et al, 2015].…”
