Impact of bacterial biofilm adaptation to biocides on antibiotic resistance
FabT, a Streptococcus pyogenes membrane lipid regulator that flips the switch between bacterial sur-vival and virulence
The pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus; GAS) causes severe infections with long-term sequellae. GAS infections account for 517,000 deaths annually worldwide. The research teams at the Cochin Institute (Bactéries et périnatalité; INSERM and CNRS) and at Micalis Institute (MicrobAdapt, INRAE) were intrigued by the presence of variants that emerged during experimental infections in primates, […]
Aquatic environment drives the emergence of cell wall-deficient dormant forms in Listeria
Bacteria can respond to environmental stresses by entering a dormant state called viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state. VBNC bacteria lose the ability to grow in routine culture media. Pathogens entering a VBNC state pose a significantly risk for human and animal health, as they are not detected by standard growth-based techniques, and can “wake up” […]

B3D and Lallemand Animal Nutrition launch LabCom “Biofilm1Health”
From livestock buildings to the International Space Station, and even in our toothbrushes, biofilms, composed of three-dimensional microbial communities, have colonized the environment since time immemorial. For over twenty years, the INRAE B3D team – Biofilms and Spatially Organized Communities – at the Micalis Joint Research Unit has been deciphering the functioning of these microscopic […]
