Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate gene expression patterns of the planktonic and biofilm cells of Staphylococcus aureus and SalmonellaTyphimurium in trypticase soy broth adjusted to pH 5.5 and pH 7.3. The planktonic and biofilm cells of multiple antibiotic-resistant S. aureus (S. aureusR) and S. Typhimurium (S. TyphimuriumR) were more resistant to β-lactams than those of antibiotic-susceptible S. aureus (S. aureusS) and S. Typhimurium (S. TyphimuriumS) at pH 5.5 and pH 7.3. The relative gene expression levels of norB, norC, and mdeA genes were increased by 7.0-, 4.7-, and 4.6-fold, respectively, in the biofilm cells of S. aureusS grown at pH 7.3, while norB, norC, mdeA, sec, seg, sei, sel, sem, sen, and seo genes were stable in the biofilm cells of S. aureusR. This study provides useful information for understanding gene expression patterns in the planktonic and biofilm cells of antibiotic-resistance pathogens exposed to acidic stress.

Biofilm-associated persistence of food-borne pathogens.
Arnaud Bridier,Pilar Sanchez-Vizuete,Morgan Guilbaud,Jean-Christophe Piard,Murielle Naïtali,Romain Briandet +5 more
TL;DR: The present review focuses on the principal mechanisms involved in the formation of biofilms of food-borne pathogens, where biofilm behaviour is driven by its three-dimensional heterogeneity and by species interactions within these biostructures, and the authors look at some emergent control strategies.

TL;DR: This review will summarize how the multidrug MFS efflux pumps contribute to the interplay between bacteria and targeted host cells, with emphasis on their role in bacterial virulence, in the colonization of plant and animal host cells and in biofilm formation.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method
TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.
