Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a notorious opportunistic pathogen, with its virulence intricately linked to the expression of specific lectins such as LecA and LecB. These carbohydrate‐binding proteins ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute and School of Public Health have discovered a new class of anti-biofilm compounds derived from marine microorganisms that show promise ...

Much of the interest in xylitol stems from its use in dentistry for prophylaxis against decay. The administration of xylitol in chewing gum and oral pastilles to schoolchildren in Finland has been the ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses the quorum sensing (QS) system to regulate virulence factors expression and biofilm development. Researchers from Jinan University reported on novel inhibitors of P.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is notorious for its role in food spoilage and infections, posing a significant threat to both food safety and human health. Traditionally, antimicrobial agents have been the go ...

Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern - from human health to crop survival. A new study successfully uses nanogels to target and almost entirely inhibit the bacteria P. Aeruginosa. By combining ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most people have encountered the black, gray, or pink stains of bacterial biofilms built up on the bathroom tiles or kitchen sink. Even with vigorous scrubbing and strong cleaning chemicals, this ...
