Biofilms are multicellular networks that can grow almost anywhere. These slime-encased microbial colonies can survive harsh conditions and develop resistance to antimicrobial agents such as ...

Scientists have now discovered a chemical that plants produce when they're stressed prevents dangerous biofilm from forming. The breakthrough offers potential advances in healthcare as well as ...

Researchers have looked into the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes related to biofilms and how they support the persistence of the pathogen in food processing environments. A study led by the ...

A biofilm is a community of microbes on a surface that is encased in a polymer coating. Bacteria that grow attached to surfaces rather than floating in a liquid are called sessile. Most bacteria in ...

Microscopy images of bacteria strains, one, top, producing fimbriae as normal and one with high level of MEcPP unable to produce the fimbriae. If your teeth have ever felt fuzzy after skipping a ...
