Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Background and objectives Candida species, particularly Candida albicans , are major contributors to denture-induced ...

Antibiotic resistance is racing toward a global crisis, with “superbugs” projected to cause over 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Now, scientists at UC San Diego have unveiled a powerful new CRISPR ...

A global team of scientists has identified an often-overlooked biological system — biofilms — as a critical factor in the future of human space ...

On their own, bacteria aren’t too hard to kill. The problem is, the crafty bugs tend to build colonies behind barriers known as biofilms, which are hard for antibiotics to penetrate. Now, researchers ...

Scenario-based training across all 12 HACCP steps, eHACCP.org strengthens PRP control, reducing hidden contamination ...

Biophysicists have taken a systematic look into how bacterial biofilms are affected by fluid flow. The findings can give us clues about the physical rules guiding biofilm architecture, but also about ...

Disrupting quorum sensing in Enterococcus faecalis can backfire, causing larger biofilms, higher antibiotic tolerance, and ...

A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have challenged the widely held assumption in infectious disease research that blocking ...
