- Abstract
Most pathobionts of the respiratory tract form biofilms during asymptomatic colonization to survive and persist in this niche. Environmental changes of the host niche, often resulting from infection with respiratory viruses, changes of the microbiota composition, or other host assaults, can result in biofilm dispersion and spread of bacteria to other host niches, resulting in infections, such as otitis media, pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. The niches that these bacteria encounter during colonization and infection vary markedly in nutritional availability and contain different carbon sources and levels of other essential nutrients needed for bacterial growth and survival. As these niche-related nutritional variations regulate... (More)
Most pathobionts of the respiratory tract form biofilms during asymptomatic colonization to survive and persist in this niche. Environmental changes of the host niche, often resulting from infection with respiratory viruses, changes of the microbiota composition, or other host assaults, can result in biofilm dispersion and spread of bacteria to other host niches, resulting in infections, such as otitis media, pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. The niches that these bacteria encounter during colonization and infection vary markedly in nutritional availability and contain different carbon sources and levels of other essential nutrients needed for bacterial growth and survival. As these niche-related nutritional variations regulate bacterial behavior and phenotype, a better understanding of bacterial niche-associated metabolic activity is likely to provide a broader understanding of bacterial pathogenesis. In this chapter, we use Streptococcus pneumoniae as a model respiratory pathobiont. We describe methods and models used to grow bacteria planktonically or to form biofilms in vitro by incorporating crucial host environmental factors, including the various carbon sources associated with specific niches, such as the nasopharynx or bloodstream. We then present methods describing how these models can be used to study bacterial phenotypes and their association with metabolic energy production and the generation of fermentation products.
