Nature Biotechnology - New insight into the biology of biofilms is spawning novel commercial strategies for treating the intractable infections they cause. Skip to main content Thank you for ...

An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high resolution ...

A researcher presented biotechnology at the Medtech Showcase in San Francisco Jan. 12 that can be used to destroy biofilms and potentially treat bacterial infections. The researcher is Steven ...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), bacteria in this biofilm state, which are responsible for approximately 80% of human bacterial infections, can be up to 1,000 ...

Biofilms are generally seen as a problem to be eradicated due to the hazards they pose for humans and materials. However, these communities of algae, fungi, or bacteria possess interesting ...

“One of the challenges in exploiting beneficial biofilms for biotechnology or health is that some of the candidate microorganisms, such as probiotics or non-pathogenic strains of Escherichia ...

The biofilms were either treated with no disinfectant, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2), or a mixture of H 2 O 2 and peroxyacetic acid (PAA). They then counted the number of colony-forming bacteria ...

Microplastics provide an excellent bacterial breeding ground that may be contributing to the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, a new study says.

Having your nose clogged is one of the most annoying feelings ever. People would go to great lengths to be able to breathe ...

A biofilm is a community of microbes on a surface that is encased in a polymer coating. Bacteria that grow attached to surfaces rather than floating in a liquid are called sessile. Most bacteria ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona demonstrate - for the first time - that a bacteria can be modified to act as ‘living medicine’ in the lung. The treatment ...
