Future Science Series: “Parasitic” Biofilms – Origin of Chronic Diseases with Joshua Leisk

Recent years have produced growing understanding and interest in biofilms and the microorganisms they contain. This week’s interview in our Future Science Series introduces biofilms expert Joshua Leisk, a researcher from Australia, who has developed a revolutionary disease model based on the pathogenicity of certain biofilms in the body.

Biofilms form naturally where there is moisture, that is, in any aqueous system when microorganisms settle on existing interfaces. Such interfaces exist both between solid and liquid surfaces or at liquid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces. In the human body they will form, for example, in the moisture of the respiratory system and the digestive tract, inside of blood vessels, and even in or surrounding the “wetware” of our brains. Dental plaque, too, is biofilm forming on teeth. In many ways, biofilms can also be seen as live hydrogels.

Many biofilms forming in the body are beneficial to the “host,” but they can also harbor “parasitic” or pathogenic microorganisms that go undetected by the immune system. This is when they become dangerous.
