Light-activated copper microrobots use single-atom catalysis and peroxide to penetrate biofilms, generate reactive oxygen ...

the antimicrobial agents released by the robot target planktonic bacteria cells; and finally, the robot forms bonds with biofilm fragments, which prevents infections from recurring. The liquid ...

thereby inhibiting biofilm formation without causing cell death (Koo et al., 2010). In this study, we used the established method to screen and identify four compounds. Three of these compounds ...

Once the biofilm-eradication process is complete, the robot gets removed from the body via a laparoscopically-inserted magnet. In lab tests performed on an extracted pig digestive system, the ...

9 In addition to the benefit to the individual cell of core genome homogenization, HR also benefits the entire structure of microbial populations. 10 Together, HGT and HR create a dynamic and diverse ...
