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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the first installment of this series with Sterilex, Food Safety News explores what biofilms are and their unique resistance to attempts to kill the pathogens they protect. Food processors and ...

Biofilms—communities of bacteria living within a slimy matrix of their own making—account for roughly 80% of hospital-acquired infections. Antibiotic-resistant diseases already kill about 700,000 ...

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 ...

Dental plaque, gut bacteria and the slippery sheen on river rocks are all examples of biofilms, organized communities of microorganisms that colonize our bodies and the world around us. A new study ...
