Bacteria utilise a sophisticated chemical communication system, known as quorum sensing, to assess their population density and coordinate group behaviours, including the formation of biofilms. This ...

Bacteria grow on surfaces in complex immobile communities known as biofilms, which are composed of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. Within biofilms, bacteria often interact with members of ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses the quorum sensing (QS) system to regulate virulence factors expression and biofilm development. Researchers from Jinan University reported on novel inhibitors of P.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm development occurs in five stages. 1. Reversible attachment: Cells transiently affix to substratum, and surface induced gene expression results in a protein profile ...

The focus of my research is in mathematical and computational biology with particular applications in ecology, infectious diseases, and agriculture through modeling, analysis, and simulations.

It has been reported that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) for biofilm bacteria are 10 to 1000 times higher than the corresponding values for ...

Biofilms are complex microbial communities embedded within a protective matrix, allowing bacteria to thrive on surfaces in food processing environments, such as metal, plastic, and glass. These ...

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

Scientists at the University of Nottingham have discovered how specific surface patterns on plastics used for medical devices can drastically reduce the ability of bacteria to attach and multiply, ...

No one likes to be alone. Even bacteria have figured out how to stick together – in an intricate structure called a biofilm. No one likes to be alone. Even bacteria have figured out how to stick ...
