While bacteria can grow biofilms on any surface, researcher Gross found that microplastics supercharged this process. When ...

The biofilm allows the micro-organisms to adhere to any surface, living or nonliving. The adaptive and genetic changes of the micro-organisms within the biofilm make them resistant to all known ...

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.

The researchers will immerse plastic films in freshwater samples (taken from a canal in Lowell) and expose them to ...

Hungarian researchers have discovered unique bacterial communities in thermal waters that may help unravel the development of stromatolites, one of Earth's oldest rock formations. These findings not ...

A recent study published in npj | Biofilms and Microbiomes explored biofilm maturation and dispersal dynamics in Bacillus subtilis using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy.

A newly published journal article says the cannabis component CBD could be an effective way to avoid oral infections when ...

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.

While some bacteria do naturally exist in this individual ‘planktonic’ state, most bacteria mimic multicellular life, forming a community connected by a biofilm. These slime-like, three ...

Toothpaste plays a key role in oral health by breaking up bacterial biofilm, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. While some ingredients may affect the oral microbiome, research suggests ...

Overview: One particular antiseptic solution tops list for effectiveness against methicillin-sensitive S. aureus and E. coli.

"This is the first study showing the clinical efficacy of a nanotherapy in the treatment of a severe chronic biofilm infection," says Hyun (Michel) Koo of Penn Dental Medicine. "We previously ...
