Thus, the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies used to fight acute infections are not effective in eradicating medical device biofilm-related infections or chronic biofilm diseases. Today ...

explaining that biofilm is a slimy bacterial layer that clings to surfaces. In a medical setting, this film can make it harder to treat infections when they form on devices like catheters and ...

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 eradicating such films, however, using tiny remote-control liquid ...

A key step in the development of bacterial biofilms — complex structures resistant to many common antibiotics — is adhesion to the substrate. This process has important implications for the ...

The peptide-based technology effectively eliminates biofilms and can be applied to a wide range of medical devices to reduce healthcare-associated infections. Healthcare-associated infections ...

Garwood have exclusively licensed a technology developed by UB researcher Dr. Mark Ehrensberger that can disrupt bacterial biofilms. In partnership with UB they are developing a medical device that ...
