The limitations of in vitro experimentation in understanding biofilms and chronic infection

AEL Roberts, KN Kragh, T Bjarnsholt… - Journal of Molecular …, 2015 - Elsevier
We have become increasingly aware that, during infection, pathogenic bacteria often grow
in multicellular biofilms that are often highly resistant to antibacterial strategies. In order to …

[HTML][HTML] The non-attached biofilm aggregate

KN Kragh, T Tolker-Nielsen, M Lichtenberg - Communications Biology, 2023 - nature.com
… Examples of the formation of microbial aggregates via bridging aggregation include a
study by Kragh et al. who reported that P. aeruginosa aggregates need at least the two well-…

[HTML][HTML] Phenotypes of Non-Attached Pseudomonas aeruginosa Aggregates Resemble Surface Attached Biofilm

M Alhede, KN Kragh, K Qvortrup, M Allesen-Holm… - PloS one, 2011 - journals.plos.org
For a chronic infection to be established, bacteria must be able to cope with hostile conditions

Role of multicellular aggregates in biofilm formation

KN Kragh, JB Hutchison, G Melaugh, C Rodesney… - MBio, 2016 - Am Soc Microbiol
… We assume oxygen to be rate limiting and therefore relate the constant k O (1.18 × 10 –3 g
liter –1 ) in their kinetic expression to our K O in the Monod expression via K O = k O ln2. For …

Bacterial biofilms predominate in both acute and chronic human lung infections

M Kolpen, KN Kragh, JB Enciso, D Faurholt-Jepsen… - Thorax, 2022 - thorax.bmj.com
Background A basic paradigm of human infection is that acute bacterial disease is caused
by fast growing planktonic bacteria while chronic infections are caused by slow-growing, …
