Caffeine treatment significantly inhibited biofilm formation by 98.1% for E. coli and 98.7% for L. monocytogenes, and by 98.8 and 99.0%, in co-treatment and post-treatment, respectively. No consistent correlation was observed between EPS quantity and biofilm inhibition.

However, there are few in-depth studies regarding their virulence profile and the ability of these microorganisms to form biofilms. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the biofilm formation capacity of NAS isolates from Brazilian milk. In this work, 309 NAS isolates were subjected to the Congo Red Agar (CRA) phenotypic test. Next, genotypic characterization was carried out by screening the bap, icaA, icaD, and MSCRAMMs genes: bbp, cna, ebps, eno, fib, fnbA, fnbB, clfA and clfB. Finally, ten isolates that presented the highest frequency of the genes analysed were selected to evaluate their ability to form biofilm on stainless-steel discs. t The number of cells (log10 CFU/cm2) in the biofilms was assessed at three time periods (24 h, 48 h, and 72 h) at a temperature of 25 °C. 35 NAS (11.32%) produced biofilms in the CRA test. Genotypic analysis showed the eno (38.5%) and bap (27.5%) genes were the most prevalent. In the analysis of biofilm formation on stainless steel, the factor 'growth time' had no significant effect on cell numbers. All selected isolates formed biofilm on stainless steel, and cell numbers were estimated to be in the 5.94 to 9.10 log10 CFU/m2 range. These results provide evidence that NAS isolated from milk may represent a risk to human and animal health since they carry several virulence genes and demonstrate the ability to form biofilms.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":" ","pages":"619-633"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144301057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oral dysbiosis, linked to systemic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and CVD, is common in inflammatory oral diseases such as periodontitis and denture stomatitis, disrupting original oral microbiota. This imbalance may lead to transient bacteremia and systemic inflammation, contributing to CVD development. Tooth loss reduces salivary microbiome diversity, and denture use in CVD patients is linked to decreased life expectancy compared to dentate individuals. The findings suggest tooth loss, denture use, and oral microbiota dysbiosis are unconventional risk factors for CVD progression.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144367854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bacterial cells were characterised by a hydrophobicity test, and textiles were characterised by roughness and surface energy. Transmission and suspension tests were then carried out, followed by an evaluation of the wash. The results show that cotton has the highest roughness, polyester is the most hydrophobic and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is the most hydrophobic bacterium. It was observed that resistant bacteria can be transmitted to a considerable extent via household textiles. The suspension test showed that the 0.5% European Colourfastness Establishment (ECE) reference detergent did not achieve a sufficient reduction (>5 log colony forming units - CFU) for any of the strains tested, whereas the addition of 3% hydrogen peroxide or 4% quaternary ammonium silicone compound did so for all of them. Washing at 60 °C reduced the textile contamination sufficiently (>4 log CFU) for all strains tested, while the criteria for cross-contamination and wash water were not met (<1.1 CFU/mL). However, the addition of disinfectants to the detergent at 30 °C met all hygiene requirements with the complete elimination of all tested bacteria on all textiles. Washing home textiles contaminated with resistant bacteria at low temperatures was only possible if a disinfectant was added.
