Data collected by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Marine and Environmental Research at the University of Porto (CIIMAR-UP) showed the research ...

biofilms may harbour pathogens, compromising water quality and safety and material stability. Moreover, the emergence of antibiotic resistance phenomenon in natural and engineered aquatic environments ...

3.2. Soil Remediation Approaches and Application Prospects of Mixed Microbial Agents ...

Most people have encountered the black, gray, or pink stains of bacterial biofilms built up on the bathroom tiles or kitchen ...

An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals, for the first time, single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high ...

In the field of bacteriology, the rapid rise of drug-resistant bacterial infections and the lack of effective antimicrobial ...

Biofilms are communities of bacteria that cluster together and secrete a protective matrix, which acts as a shield against antibiotics and the host immune system, making them a common cause of ...

Formation of biofilms by clinically relevant microbial pathogens is at the root of many chronic and recurrent infections. Biofilm-associated infections can be broadly divided into two types ...

Mobile genetic element fluorescence in situ hybridization (MGE-FISH) creates spatial maps of target genes in microbiomes. We combine MGE-FISH with high phylogenetic resolution FISH (HiPR-FISH) to ...
