Aim: To quantitatively assess Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. Materials & methods: In addition to the qualitative Congo red agar (CRA) method, we used the bioluminescence (BLM), safranine (SAF ...

University of Iowa researchers have succeeded in wiping out established biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus (staph) by hijacking one of the bacteria's own regulatory systems. Although the discovery ...

But biofilms can increase the threat from dangerous forms of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, which causes antibiotic-resistant staph infections. Ganging up in biofilms makes them even ...

The team tested the mix on biofilms made by golden staph (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. The antibiotic hybrids were found to effectively penetrate the biofilms and eradicate the bacteria ...

coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), delivering four different antibiotics. With bacteria that did not form biofilms, the combination of the nanoparticles and ultrasound ...

In this study, the dogs were first taught to identify S. aureus VOCs from cotton balls rich in odors absorbed from cell culture biofilms and alert the researchers using a trained response such as ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacteria that causes infections in different parts of the body. It's tougher to treat than most strains of Staphylococcus aureus (staph ...

Most people have Staphylococcus bacteria on their skin, but sometimes it can cause an acute infection with life threatening symptoms. Staphylococcus bacteria are a common bacterial strain.
