How bacterial biofilms transform chronic wounds into persistent battlegrounds, and why breaking them is key to healing.
Biofilm
Vitamin C, an unexpected underdog, helps disrupt bacterial biofilms and restores the effectiveness of antibiotics against drug-resistant infections
While the ability to degrade plastics might seem beneficial, it poses a threat to the integrity of medical devices and increases the risk of infections.
Danger!!!, peptidoglycan improves bacteria survival
Co-administration of bismuth-containing compounds and antibiotics increases their antimicrobial activity, including against resistant bacterial pathogens, through disruption of iron uptake.
This study shows that bacteria cooperate to survive where we don’t want them.
Some species of bacteria are able to protect themselves in response to the death of their kin.
Clingy microbes can use their clinginess to become even more clingy, and in some instances pathogenic!
Let us dive into the world of tiny zinc nanoparticles and find out about their fight against biofilm-forming bacteria
A competing bacteria offers us a metabolite to dismantle E. coli biofilms
