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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Oral microbiology has rapidly advanced our understanding of how biofilms are crucial contributors to the initiation and persistence of oral diseases. Oral ...

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 ...

The innovation centres on a heteromultivalent nanogel: a flexible particle made by crosslinking polymers and adding sugar residues (galactose and fucose) alongside antimicrobial peptides. These sugars ...
