Biofilm dispersion in Enterococcus faecalis is mediated by nutrient step-change and intra-species signaling

Nermin Mohamed, David M. Lam, Marian Abdikarin, Raheema Mohammed-Abraham, David G. Davies, Laura C. Cook, Peter T. McKenney

This study identifies nutrient step-change and intra-species signaling as triggers for biofilm dispersion in E. faecalis, reducing antibiotic resistance in dispersed cells.

Contact dependent suppression of Clostridioides difficile sporulation by enterococci requires the endocarditis and biofilm pilus

Alicia K. Wood, Caspar S. Carson, Holly R Neubauer, Lesly-Hannah Gutierrez, Mofiyinfoluwa Adeoye, Angus Johnson, Ana Beatriz Garcez Buiatte, Bryce Chong, Laura C. Cook, Adam M. Session, Cheryl P. Andam, Peter T. McKenney

This study shows that enterococci reduce C. difficile sporulation through contact-dependent mechanisms involving surface pili, suggesting a role for gut microbiota in controlling spore formation.

Vancomycin tolerance and dispersion of dual species biofilms of Clostridioides difficile and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium

Holly R Neubauer, Sarah Joseph, Ishtiaq Ahmad, Peter T. McKenney

This study investigates how VRE affects C. difficile biofilm formation and vancomycin tolerance in dual-species cultures, finding that VRE inhibits biofilm formation with fermentable glucose but not vancomycin tolerance or dispersion.
