Bacteria permeate virtually every corner of the Earth. Most bacteria live in a biofilm state to enhance their survival and propagation, and to perform essential tasks for many ecosystems.

Bacterial communities build biofilms to protect themselves from external threats, such as antibiotics. But researchers are now taking aim at these bacterial shields. “Biofilms can be good ...

Biofilms are well-structured communities of bacteria enclosed in a self-produced matrix, usually adhered to a surface but can also assemble in floating aggregations. The most crucial difference ...
