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 ...

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.

As the biofilm ages, however, bacteria remodel their surfaces to flip the interactions between EPS-producing cells and the ...

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.

A biofilm is composed of attached microbial cells encased within a matrix of extracellular polymeric secretions (EPS), which surround and protect cells. The EPS matrix is typically composed of ...

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 ...

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 ...

“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 ...

Biofilms, ubiquitous bacterial communities embedded in a slimy matrix, are the oldest form of multicellularity on earth; they are extremely resistant to antibiotics and stick tenaciously to most ...

Biofilms, composed of bacterial communities in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), are highly resistant to antibiotics. Contrary to previous beliefs, EPS is not inherently sticky ...
