biofilm

Biofilms render most antibiotics ineffective, but ultrasound may be the key to clearing these chronic infections.

Could the solution to antibiotic resistance already have been discovered? Microbiologists and historians probe medieval and ancient texts to find out.

Insect wings contain micropillars that kill harmful microbes. Researchers designed a similar titanium surface to prevent fungal infections on medical devices.

The physical arrangement of cells within a biofilm significantly influences bacteria’s access to nutrients and may affect antibiotic susceptibility.

A bacterial inhibitor enhances conventional antibiotics by killing Staphylococcus aureus and stopping a communication system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
