Interim findings showed patients (n=21) treated with CMTX-101 saw a reduction in Pseudomonas aeruginosa burden. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track and Qualified Infectious ...

Dental plaque, gut bacteria and the slippery sheen on river rocks are all examples of biofilms, organized communities of microorganisms that colonize our bodies and the world around us. A new study ...

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 ...

When bacteria infect our bodies, they sometimes form sticky mats of sugars and proteins called biofilms to protect themselves. This viscous layer makes it difficult for antibiotics and immune cells to ...

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 ...

A new polymer removes biofilms—mats of microbes and their exuded substances—by mimicking a fluid oozed by barnacles (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c09311). The material could provide a ...

Listeria monocytogenes is a microscopic organism responsible for foodborne illnesses that frequently result in death. Recently published research shows how it can multiply up to seven-fold on food ...
