A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

ANR Fir-OM: Firmicutes with an outer membrane: toward new models to study the diderm/monoderm cell envelope transition

Simonetta Gribaldo (PI)

The bacterial envelope is one of the oldest and most essential cellular components, being involved in key housekeeping functions, such as physical integrity, cell division, motility, substrate uptake and secretion, and cell-cell communication. It […]

PTR OmNega: A multi-disciplinary investigation of the Negativicutes: atypical Firmicutes with LPS-outer membranes that inhabit the human gut

Simonetta Gribaldo (PI)

The Negativicutes are a poorly studied lineage of bacteria that include common inhabitants of the human oral and gut microbiome such as the anaerobe Veillonella, and which can also develop into opportunistic pathogens. Despite […]

Biofilm formation

Christophe Beloin (PI)

  BACTERIAL STRUCTURES PROMOTING BIOFILM FORMATION   Commensal and pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli produce various surface structures promoting their interaction with living or inert surfaces. We are particularly interested in identifying E. coli adhesins that are […]

Biofilm physiology

Jean-Marc Ghigo (PI)

    IDENTIFICATION OF BIOFILM-SPECIFIC MOLECULES    Specific metabolic changes occurring during biofilm formation were hypothesized to lead to the production of biofilm-associated molecules and biofilm-specific functions. The  identification of biofilm-specific metabolites could reveal new aspects of biofilm […]

Biofilm Tolerance to Antibiotics

Christophe Beloin (PI)

BIOFILM-ASOCIATED TOLERANCE TO ANTIBIOTICS    One of the  of the hallmarks of biofilm physiology is its tolerance to a high level of antimicrobials. We are currently investigating the molecular mechanisms that lead to this transient […]

Fighting biofilms

Christophe Beloin (PI)

 Biofilm formation on medical devices is associated with hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections. Due to biofilms’ high tolerance to antibiotics, classical treatments lack efficacy, and removal of the biofilm-contaminated device is often the only therapeutic option. […]

Biophysics of Bacteria-Surface Interactions

Christophe Beloin (PI)

In collaboration with physico-chemists and biophysicists, we use multidisciplinary approaches to investigate bacterial adaptation to surface contact and biomechanical properties of adhesins.

Biofilm Microfermenters

Jean-Marc Ghigo (PI)

We designed a continuous-flow culture system in which biofilm formation can be reproducibly monitored and controlled in microfermentors handled at flow-rates avoiding accumulation of planktonic bacteria. This model is suited for biofilm macroscopic analysis, […]

CV

 I prepared my PhD in the laboratory of Structure and Expression of Bacterial Genome directed by Dr. Françoise Le Hégarat at the University Paris XI where I studied histone-like proteins of the Gram positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis. I obtained my PhD in 1998. The same year I joined the laboratory of Prof. Charles J. Dorman in Trinity College Dublin as a European Post-doctoral fellow. During these three years my research has been focused on the regulation of virulence gene expression in the pathogenic bacteria Shigella flexneri. In 2001, I came back to France on a postdoctoral proposition in the 5 years group recently created by Dr. Jean-Marc Ghigo. I participated to the implementation of the G5 Genetics of Biofilms Laboratory. In 2003, I was recruited at the Institut Pasteur as Assistant Professor (Chargé de Recherche) and have been promoted Associate Professor in 2014. In the  Ghigo’s laboratory, my work  focuses on two biofilm-specific phenomena: initial adhesion to surfaces or between bacteria, which is a key step of any colonization process, and biofilms recalcitrance  towards antibiotic , a major biofilm behavior responsible for chronic and recurrent infections in clinic. Beyond the importance of a better fundamental understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling these two biofilm-properties , these studies have also been motivated by my desire to translate, when possible, some aspects of my work into clinically relevant situations involving biofilms. Since 2011 I’m strongly involved in teaching at the Institut Pasteur and I have been appointed Co-director of the Institut Pasteur Microbiology Course in 2014.
