Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

WaterMarc in Greensborough and the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) in Frankston recorded non-compliant bacteria readings well above the legislated satisfactory levels. WaterMarc had the ...

Aims To evaluate the in vitro effects of extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) on growth and biofilm formation ... of electromagnetic fields on CF pathogens. Overall, our results showed ...

It is now understood that bacteria exist ubiquitously as biofilms: phenotypically heterogeneous, matrix-embedded, sessile, multispecies communities attached to surfaces and not as the ...

Oysters are constantly filtering bacteria from the water, so they are a good place to look for potential antibiotics.’ ...

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that attach to surfaces, enclosed in a sticky, protective matrix. The team's discovery showed oyster hemolymph can kill bacterial pathogens in solution ...

The high prevalence of these bacterial infections and overuse of antibiotics have contributed to the evolution of drug-resistant bacteria. This makes these infections difficult to treat. The formation ...

Bacteria detect cell wall fragments as danger signals and form protective biofilms, a survival strategy seen across species and relevant for fighting infections. University of Basel researchers have ...
