A review of waterway contamination in India with pesticides and antibiotics recounts synergistic threats that arise when ...

Sumner Newscow report — There will be a Free Chlorine Burnout from July 15 through August 15 for the City of Wellington.

Four rare actinobacterial strains MG1, BD21, MG3 and VL9 identified as Kutzneria viridogrisea, Microbacterium barkeri, Amycolatopsis thermoflava and Yuhushiella sp. were studied for their biofilm ...

The researchers found that most effective topographies significantly reduced attachment and subsequent biofilm formation in vitro by key pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Bacteria rely on hair-like structures called fimbriae to anchor themselves to surfaces, a critical step in biofilm initiation.

Billions of years ago, Earth was home to extreme environments, including intense UV radiation, frequent volcanic eruptions, and very high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Yet, under ...

Dartmouth researchers explored how bacteria species coexist in communities known as biofilms, which can cause serious infections and are notoriously difficult to treat.

When we think about bacteria, we may imagine single cells swimming in solution. However, similarly to humans, bacterial cells often socialize, using surfaces to coalesce into complex heterogeneous ...

Imagine a group of bacteria teaming up like a gang, creating a fortress around them. This is essentially what bacterial biofilms are – a tough, sticky barrier that makes them incredibly ...

The plastisphere, a unique microbial biofilm community colonizing plastic debris and microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments, has attracted increasing attention owing to its ecological and public ...

The prevalence of multidrug-resistant pathogens is a potential worldwide threat. Antibiotics have been misused not only in clinical settings but also in farming practices. A striking example is the ...
