The bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is responsible for up to 30 per cent of hospital-acquired infections, a new study has found.

In biofilm infections, the combination was even more effective, reducing the antibiotic concentration needed by more than 40-fold, and eliminating 100% of bacteria at clinically feasible doses.

A soft matter physicist reveals how interactions within simple cellular collectives can lead to emergent physical traits. Biofilms lead lives of liminality. Just a few cells thick, these layered ...

Finally, any biofilm debris that withstood the initial ... with a 40% reduction in inflammation indicators compared to the control group," says CUHK's Prof. Zhang Li, who led the study.

and by an enrichment of the biofilm for nitrifiers, as observed by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. Polysaccharide and protein concentrations proved to be good indicators of biomass ...
