It's never a good thing, when a bacterial biofilm forms on the surface of a medical implant. There could soon be a new way of ...

A recent study published in npj | Biofilms and Microbiomes explored biofilm maturation and dispersal dynamics in Bacillus ...

This work will contribute to a better understanding of how biofilm bacteria are better able to resist host defenses and cause recalcitrant infections. You’ll fit right in here. As a Calvin biology ...

An international research team led by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has achieved a breakthrough in the field of ...

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...

Bakaletz is among a growing list of scientists looking to treat some of the world's deadliest infections by manipulating the biofilms that enable them. Bacteria are often thought of as free ...

No one likes to be alone. Even bacteria have figured out how to stick together – in an intricate structure called a biofilm. No one likes to be alone. Even bacteria have figured out how to stick ...

The bacteria attached to and colonized the plastics, as they do to any surface, creating a slimy, complex coating called a biofilm. Biofilms protect bacteria from environmental stressors ...

A single, microscopic bacterium divides and expands into a visible colony that can further organize into dynamic structures, from swarming patterns to biofilms ... the hidden beauty and complex ...
