If you've ever made kombucha, you will be familiar with the term SCOBY—a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. It's ...

If your teeth have ever felt fuzzy after skipping a brushing, you've encountered biofilm—a slimy bacterial layer that clings to surfaces. In medical settings, biofilms make infections harder to ...

Ferris found himself next to a microbiologist who studies biofilms. “We talk about biofilm in clinical practice all the time ...

Funding enables development of vaccine platform CMTX-301 from lead optimization through Phase 1 clinical evaluation. Grant follows 2020 CARB-X award that successfully advanced CMT ...

Without fimbriae, biofilm formation cannot begin. Biofilms are like fortresses for bacteria. By disrupting the initial phase of attachment, MEcPP essentially disarms the bacteria's ability to ...

Slime build-up is a costly drag on fuel efficiency for ocean-going cargo ships, leading to more emissions and, eventually, higher consumer prices. A recent study, however, suggests a new approach to ...
