Researchers take the guesswork out of infection detection by training dogs to recognize the scent of bacterial biofilm ...

One of the remarkable features of biofilms, shared with eukaryotic tissues, is that bacteria embed themselves in the self-secreted extracellular polymeric matrix which holds the cells together, ...

Biofilms are structured communities of microbes, complex in their interactions and protected by a self-produced extracellular matrix, which allows them to thrive on various surfaces. In healthcare ...

A new perspective work reveals insights into the development of bacterial biofilms, highlighting how these communities adapt ...

New research underscores the critical need for innovative solutions to combat biofilm formation on food-contact surfaces, which poses a major risk to public health and food quality. Biofilm formation ...

Understanding biofilms and their impact Biofilms are micro-organism communities that bind to surfaces and protect themselves through a “sticky matrix,” which renders them extremely resistant to ...

An impressive addition to the smart cleaning sector, the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 has similar specs to models costing twice the price. Combining vacuuming and mopping capabilities, it efficiently ...

One of the remarkable features of biofilms, shared with eukaryotic tissues, is that bacteria embed themselves in the self-secreted extracellular polymeric matrix which holds the cells together ...

A new polymer removes biofilms—mats of microbes and their exuded substances—by mimicking a fluid oozed by barnacles (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c09311). The material could ...

Biofilms are microbial communities where cells are attached to each other and to surfaces and embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix. They can be found on various surfaces in the environment ...

Image analysis for the biofilm distribution in the longitudinal direction Fluorescence images were loaded as a matrix (30086 x 154) in MATLAB (MathWorks). For each time acquisition, the signal was ...
