Høiby, N.; Moser, C.; Oliver, A.; Williams, C.; Ramage, G.; Borghi, E.; Azeredo, Joana; Macia, M. D.Background The work on the ESGB guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of biofilm infections began in 2012 and the result was published in 2014. The guidelines have been and still are frequently cited in the literature proving its usefulness for people working with biofilm infections. At the ESGB Biofilm conference in Mallorca 2022 (Eurobiofilms2022) the board of the ESGB decided to evaluate the 2014-guidelines...

Allkja, J.; Bjarnsholt, T.; Coenye, T; Cos, P.; Fallarero, A.; Harrison, J. J.; Lopes, Susana Patrícia; Oliver, A.; Pereira, Maria Olívia; Ramage, G.Introduction: The lack of reproducibility of published experimental studies is one of the major issues facing science today, and the field of biofilm research is no exception. While many factors contribute to this phenomenon, selective or insufficient reporting of experimental details in the published literature is one of the more significant causes. Hypothesis and aims: One effective strategy to improve reprod...
Extracellular DNA release acts as an antifungal resistance mechanism in mature ...
Rajendran, R.; Williams, C.; Lappin, D. F.; Millington, O.; Martins, Margarida Isabel Barros Coelho; Ramage, G.Aspergillus fumigatus has been shown to form biofilms that are associated with adaptive antifungal resistance mechanisms. These include multidrug efflux pumps, heat shock proteins, and extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM is a key structural and protective component of microbial biofilms and in bacteria has been shown to contain extracellular DNA (eDNA). We therefore hypothesized that A. fumigatus biofilms also poss...
