TL;DR

Differences in thermotolerance and biofilm formation by isolate origin are document and identify biofilm formation as a major factor promoting persistence of R. mucilaginosa on clinically relevant materials and reduced susceptibility to UV-C sterilization.

Transcriptomic insights into species-specific responses of Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus biofilms to acidic electrolyzed water on blueberries and oysters.

Transcriptomic changes in quorum sensing, two-component, and metabolic pathways were consistent with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and biofilm disruption observed physiologically and ultrastructurally, suggesting that AEW may impair biofilm integrity and contribute to metabolic suppression in a species...

Ion-dependent regulation of biofilm formation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus: strain-specific trade-offs between cellular proliferation and extracellular matrix production.

Findings demonstrate that cation composition and the interface regulate the balance between growth and matrix production in V. parahaemolyticus and emphasizes the importance of strain-specific responses in marine and food-associated environments.

Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Resistance and Biofilm Formation Among Clinical Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates in Northwestern Mexico

It is suggested that persistence-related traits in A. baumannii may not be solely predicted by resistance patterns, highlighting the complexity of adaptive responses under antimicrobial stress.

Strain-Level Diversity Decouples Biofilm Architecture, Acidogenic and Aciduric Traits, and Antimicrobial Tolerance in Streptococcus mutans

It is demonstrated that disease-relevant traits commonly attributed to S. mutans are distributed unevenly and only partially coupled across strain backgrounds, with biofilm spatial organization failing to serve as a dominant phenotype linking acid accumulation, acid tolerance, and antimicrobial susceptibility.
