a) Experimental design of real-time 3D HT imaging of biofilm formation and color map of RI. b,c) Representative 3D HT images of MDRAB biofilms untreated as (b) control or treated with (c) hirunipin 2 ...

Some tenacious microbes can be very difficult to eliminate once they form biofilms, which are microbial communities that grow on surfaces. They are considered to be a major contributor to global ...

Researchers showed that biofilm formation can be controlled with laser light in the form of optical traps. The findings could allow scientists to harness biofilms for various bioengineering ...

Scientists have made new headway in understanding how a deadly pathogen evolves during chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic ...

Biofilms are multicellular networks that can grow almost anywhere. These slime-encased microbial colonies can survive harsh conditions and develop resistance to antimicrobial agents such as ...

Oral biofilm is part of everyday life. In modern dental practices, where preventive oral hygiene takes a bigger role in patients’ overall health and wellness, it takes on even more importance. The ...
