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-> https://t.co/FMP1Dso859 @wileymicrobio #Bacteriology

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. https://t.co/hmw2X8PwiO @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 https://t.co/SNscPACyKr

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 https://t.co/XqP01wfll1

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. https://t.co/D8aotXk0LM

@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.

With special guest @tcoenye now speaking on novel approaches for diagnosing biofilm infections

[Costerton Biofilm Center, University of Copenhagen @BiofilmLab]

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.

@tcoenye Great to have you here!

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. https://t.co/leVJJTic0A

@KolpenM made a knitting design to support the Danish Cystic Fibrosis Association. Great initiative Mette!

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 https://t.co/iOZKdQz6jz

[Mads Lichtenberg @MadsLichtenberg]

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 https://t.co/DxIMMkg8wc

[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 https://t.co/5nkM3wwALL 🦠
