We have some tools to control bacteria, like antibiotics, but antibiotic resistance is a growing problem that is a threat to public health... | Microbiology ...

You might have noticed it after sliding on a rock in a Melbourne creek. Or it could have been wading through a Northern Territory waterhole. It's slime, and our rivers are full of it. That's a good ...

Solenic Medical today announced the publication of new peer-reviewed research in Scientific Reports, a journal from Nature Portfolio, demonstrating that alternating magnetic fields (AMF) significantly ...

Biofilm, which is a cluster of pathogens encased in a protective matrix, is a common enemy across diverse food manufacturing industries. From dairy, produce, meat, poultry, ready-to-eat deli foods and ...

Scientists have designed nanoagents that act like smart drug-delivery capsules—carrying an antibiotic deep into bacterial ...

Probiotics typically aim to rebalance bacteria populations in the gut, but new research suggests they may also help break apart stubborn biofilms. Biofilms are living microbial communities—they ...

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 ...

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 ...

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