Leveraging interferometry, the team began conducting new biofilm experiments, investigating how colonies' shapes changed over ...

It's never a good thing, when a bacterial biofilm forms on the surface of a medical implant. There could soon be a new way of ...

Ferris found himself next to a microbiologist who studies biofilms. “We talk about biofilm in clinical practice all the time but we have no idea really of what it is,” he said. “Over the ...

An edible biofilm, obtained from agricultural and fishing waste and developed by researchers at the São Carlos Institute of ...

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.

Following is a transcript of the video. Faye Donald: Today, I'm going to show you how guided biofilm therapy, or GBT, works when we professionally clean a patient's mouth from start to finish.

Almost all micro-organisms subsist in elaborate colonies that are embedded in biofilms of self-produced exopolymer matrices. The biofilm allows the micro-organisms to adhere to any surface ...

AMR is not only related to the emergence of resistant bacterial strains but also significantly due to the formation of biofilm barriers, where bacteria adhere to surfaces and secrete substances.

These biofilms of aggregating microbes are everywhere: on rocks, bathtubs, and medical devices. In fact, you’re supporting a heap of these communities right now. The slimy coating on unbrushed teeth ...

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...
