Single cells and bacterial #biofilm populations in chronic #wound #infections – New article in APMIS Journal by @MadsLichtenberg, @kirketerp, @Kvichers, Mads Holm Christensen, Blaine Fritz, @tim_jakobsen, @TBjarnsholt-> onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @wileymicrobio #Bacteriology
ALT Fig. 1. Progressive zoom‐in on large biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (A–C; patient 13) and Staphylococcus aureus (D–F; Patient 9) found in tissue from patients with chronic leg wounds. P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were stained by species‐specific PNA‐FISH probes, and images were acquired with a slide scanner (A–B, D–E) or by a confocal laser scanning microscope (C, F).

Chronic wounds are often described as being infected with #biofilms. We have a new paper out demonstrating persisting populations of single cells questioning the dynamics of bacterial persistence patterns in chronic #infections. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @BiofilmLab @TBjarnsholt

Our new review compiles current knowledge on non-attached aggregates, showcasing their presence in nature and disease. A fresh perspective on an old concept! #BiofilmResearch #Microbiology With @KraghBio and T. Tolker-Nielsen in @CommsBio nature.com/articles/s42003-0…
Working in chronic wound research? A new chronic wound in vitro model was just published. Great collaboration between @aalborg_uni, @BiofilmLab and @TeknologiskInst with researchers from groups of @TrineRolighed and @TBjarnsholt. Read it here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

New publication. It's a methods paper that goes step-by-step into how to carry out the calScreener experiments performed by the group of @TBjarnsholt at @uni_copenhagen
Congrats to @bei_Kat & @MadsLichtenberg for their great work.

Ida Thaarup and @TBjarnsholt just published a chapter in "Chronic Wound Management" on current methods to detect the presence of #biofilms in chronic wounds non-invasively. link.springer.com/chapter/10…
@BiofilmLab was represented at this years @EWMAwound conference in Milano where new research on a new chronic wound model, and a new method to assess bacterial biogeography in wounds was presented. – at Milan, Lombardy

Full House at the Maersk Tower for the defence of Lasse Kvich…defending an amazing PhD thesis with the topic: bacterial impact on the tumor microenvironment in colorectal cancer @TBjarnsholt @cssdenmark
Most of @BiofilmLab members are gathered today for the 5th Costerton Biofilm Center Seminar where current and future projects are shared in an open and constructive forum.
With special guest @tcoenye now speaking on novel approaches for diagnosing biofilm infections
New study from @BiofilmLab shows that rifampicin/colistin combination treatment is effective against colistin resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa #biofilms. They suggest that the action of colistin on the outer membrane facilitates rifampicin penetration. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Join @BiofilmLab Professor Oana Ciofu for a panel discussion and the release of the film ‘Silent Pandemic - The global fight against antimicrobial resistance’ on 9 March in the Cinematheque in Copenhagen

Changing the starting number of bacteria in #biofilm models result in different phenotypic trajectories governed by different #microenvironments. This influences the susceptibility when treating with #antibiotics. Published in @JournalSpectrum @BiofilmLab journals.asm.org/doi/full/10…

Excited to see our new paper out in @CellReports. We show that #biofilm formation in #Pseudomonas is associated with high metabolic rates, which are mainly caused by production of biofilm matrix components. @BiofilmLab @UCPH_health and Niels Bohr Institute cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

[IN DANISH] See you at Culture Night on Friday? Visit our mini lab with @BiofilmLab to test if you can wash bacteria off your hands - and of course learn more about the largest organ of the body: The skin! @LEOFondet @UCPH_health #kulturnattenkbh

Thrilled to see that our latest paper from @tbjarnsholt @BiofilmLab has been published in @Jbacteriology. Have a look if you would like to learn how an S. aureus-produced cocktail can ensure coexistence with P. aeruginosa doi.org/10.1128/jb.00174-22 🦠
